How's that PF9 doing? Mine demands high dollar ammo.

I have had mine Dura coated and now it does not reliably extract Win white box. Every other mag hangs at round 4 or 5. Speer, Remington HPs all do fine and that is what I carry, but damn, it's expensive practice. Didn't do that when new.
Makes no sense to me except now it thinks it's "special", being green and all. I hate spoiled guns.

Mac, I highly suggest you try the federal EFMJ . they are pricy but they are designed to feed well and expansion and penetration are superior. If the work well in practice they would be a great carry round.  just a thought .

Thanks, 2HOW, but what I need is cheap practice ammo that extracts reliably. And, really, this is a nose to nose gun anyway, so practice is 3-5 yards-draw, shoot, no sights, hit and move. I have read good things about the EFMJ rounds and will certainly try a box for carry.

As far as I know, the Kel-Tec's have not been recalled as has the LCP. And the SR9. What next with Ruger?

Not wanting to open up any can of worms, I;m glad I have my P3AT. and passed on the LCP.

Haven't had a problem at all. Hope this recall goes smoother than the last.
