Update.
This gun just rocks. For its intended purpose, up close and personal, I feel a bit more confident when this is in my pocket.
I have around 300 rounds of what I have found to be a reliable carry load, Remington UMC 115gr hollow points... I know, not a premium self defense ammo, however I have had 0 malfunctions with it, and I am very accurate out to 15yards with it.
Personally I can shoot about 100-150 rounds in one session without any hand discomfort. The trigger is not a tuned 1911 trigger, it is a self defense DA trigger. If you take the time to practice with it, there is not reason to not like it. Also with the trigger weight, there is no need for a safety, which I have grown to like. Point and shoot self defense weapon.
Now that this is my main carry piece, I only put around 25 to 50 rounds through it a month. This way I keep on track with muscle memory, but also minimize the wear factor on the gun. In my mind this gun should last awhile, but I do see it as a semi disposable gun.
From what I have read on other forums Keltecs customer service is tops, however I have yet to need their assistance.
Simple used blued p11 with 3, 10 round magazines. 0 problems and 100% reliability.
And I personally have to disagree with RVDriver, I find the P11 a step above the CPX-1, in fit and finish, proven track record, and customer service, and not a fan of the safety on the CPX-1, I do know that they did something to update the safety on the CPX-2 however, which I have not had a chance to get my hands on...
But again firearms are great cause there's at least one out there to fit anyone. It all comes down to what "you" like about a gun. So I also respect RVDrivers opinion, just personally disagree.
My advice is, if you're going to buy a gun, shoot that gun if at all possible, at a range that rents them, friends, or make a new friend at the range and swap weapons for a magazine or two...
God bless and shoot safe.
