I've had a P-11 for about 8 years. It is what it is. Kel Tec has good customer service if there are issues. If you want to smooth it out, do the "fluff and buff" work found on the KTOG.org website. Yes, it uses the S&W 9mm double stack metal framed pistol mags. Since I also have a 5906 and a 6906, the choice of the P-11 for a pocket pistol was a no brainer.

But, be forwarned. The MecGar 17 rd 59xx mags have a slightly different taper up top, and don't fit the P-11 without a little work. The 15 rd ones fit great. The Kel Tec mags are made by Mec Gar, and even have the Mec Gar logo on them.
