The PF is only 1/8" thinner & actually a bit taller & longer. My P11 has been extremely reliable & has been my prefered carry.

Yeah, I was going to jump on that one, too. I've carried a P11 for going on 11 years now. I have an IWB tuckable for it, but usually carry it in a pocket anymore in a pair of carpenter's jeans. It has never failed to go bang. Well, it did once, was having all kinds of trouble with it, then I noticed, I'd grabbed a box of .380. Dang, I wondered why they were rattling around in the magazine like that. Nope, it don't work with .380 ammo worth a toot, but it's 100 percent with my carry loads and about any sort of 115 grain stuff. I've usually got that gun in a pocket, but sometimes I get in a revolver mood and carry my M85UL.

The P11 has a lot going for it. Light weight, 12 round cap with the newer mags, and great price. I see them on line for $225 now; very reasonable for a reliable carry piece in a respectable caliber.

I have a P3AT as well and is my most carried gun. Mine was part of a slide recall. Sent it in and two weeks later I got it back and never had any issues.
I also had a P32 before that and now sits in a safe.

We have both generations of the P3AT and they are our 24/7 guns no matter what else is carried.

My "bare bones" anywhere carry package. Kel Tec P3AT, 2nd Gen. with IWB holster. Regular carry ammo is the Remington Golden Sabre 102 gr JHP, the best round I've found for this gun.

The P3AT is a great little CCW, because you virtually forget its even on you. The Rem Golden Saber .380 JHP is a respectable round, for times when that .45 or 9mm can't be carried comfortably.

Well, here's mine if this is a picture thread.

That's the one! I don't shoot my P3AT all that much (it really is a handful...the little beast, I've heard it called) but I know I can depend on it. This is the one you can get by with in places that frown on firearms. They will never know you have it. Unless you have to use it. But I'd rather have it and accept the consequences than not have it and wish I did.

The Kel Tec P11 gets shot much more than the P3AT, and carried more in the winter. Here is another "bare bones" carry package, the P11 with the belt clip, no need for a holster.

I shoot a lot of WWB 115 FMJ because its economical and available. Remington UMC JHP has been my carry ammo, at about $20 per 100, not bad for JHP.

I too have the P3AT and it gets carried more than any other gun I have as a BUG. Which ever gun I main carry, the P3AT will be carried also. I got the Bersa finger grip extensions and a plus one extension. I load it up with Cor-bon DPX and the spare mag is loaded with Federal Hydra-shok. In the winter I mix my carry ammo with FMJ's. I usually carry it either in a pocket holster or Don Hume IWB or Comp-tac Centerline holster.

michaelfm:

Can that belt clip be mounted on either side?
I may have to rethink the p-11 again.
