KEL-TEC PF-9 PISTOL SAFETY, INSTRUCTION, & PARTS MANUAL STATEMENT OF LIABILITY This pistol may be classified as a dangerous weapon and is surrendered by KEL-TEC CNC INDUSTRIES INC. with the understanding that the purchaser assumes all liability resulting from unsafe handling or any action that constitutes a violation of any applicable laws or regulations. Firearms can cause serious injury and death. Safety must be the prime consideration of anyone who handles firearms.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS READ AND CAREFULLY FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS. These warnings and instructions are provided to assure the safe functioning of the handgun. Failure to heed them may result in improper functioning and serious injury. KEL-TEC firearms are designed to function reliably with proper care and knowledgeable use. Do not use your firearm unless you fully understand these instructions, and the safe operation of your firearm.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS The PF-9 pistol is manufactured in 9mm Luger caliber. The caliber is stated on the right side of the grip, just under the slide. Use only this ammunition and only if in compliance with SAAMI specifications. The PF-9 will accept +P ammunition, however not with continuous use. Only use commercially manufactured ammunition, clean, dry, and in good condition. Never use non-standard, reloaded or damaged cartridges.
INTRODUCTION The PF-9 pistol is a semi-automatic, locked breech pistol. The firing mechanism is double action only. The magazine has a 7 round capacity. The PF-9 pistol is the lightest and flattest 9mm Luger caliber ever made. Thanks to its locking dynamics and superior ergonomics, perceived recoil and practical accuracy are comparable to much larger guns. The PF-9 is especially suited for plainclothes police officers or as a secondary weapon for military personnel.

Functioning When the pistol's trigger is pulled, the trigger axis is rotated forward together with the trigger bar, which engages the hammer and then the hammer block. After about 85 degrees rotation, the trigger bar disengages, holding the hammer block forward of the hammer, which then rotates forward to strike the firing pin. The ignited powder gas drives the bullet forward through the barrel and simultaneously drives the slide and barrel backwards.
Close to the rear position, the empty case hits the ejector, and is thrown out of the gun. The recoil springs drive the slide forward again. The top cartridge in the magazine is picked up by the breech face and pushed into the barrel. Close to battery, the barrel is cammed up, positively locking into the slide. During the rear recoil motion, the hammer is disengaged and follows the slide, acting like an extra recoil spring.
INSTRUCTION FOR USE Loading To load, fill the magazine by pressing a cartridge downward on the forward portion of the magazine follower (or downward on the case of the previously loaded cartridge) and sliding the cartridge fully under the lips of the magazine until the cartridge is all the way back in the magazine. Repeat the steps above for the number of cartridges you wish to load, up to the magazine capacity.
INSTRUCTION FOR USE Firing With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and your finger outside the trigger guard, take aim at a safe target. Put finger inside trigger guard and squeeze trigger until round is fired. Fully release the trigger and you are ready to fire another round. Upon firing, the slide moves rearward extracting and ejecting the fired round and returns to the forward position, feeding another round automatically while doing so.
SAFETY To achieve highest operator safety, combined with ease of handling, the pistol is "DOUBLE ACTION ONLY". It has no manual safety and the hammer is never fully cocked. The hammer is of a novel design. Compared to a conventional hammer, the pistol is very light and consequently, operates at high velocities. It is driven by a special free floating extension spring. Furthermore, the hammer's mass is concentrated around its axis giving an inertia in the critical direction of the firing pin close to zero.
REAR SIGHT ADJUSTMENT The included 5/64" allen wrench can be used to loosen the rear sight screw. With the screw loose the rear sight can be adjusted for windage. Re-tighten the screw to lock the sight in place, do not over tighten. MAGAZINE DISASSEMBLY Hold the magazine firmly with the bottom facing away. Insert a small punch or similar tool a quarter inch into the hole in the center of the bottom plate (491), pushing down on the spring bottom plate (496).
