KEL-TEC PF-9 & KEL-TEC P-11 Flat Trigger

I installed this trigger in a Kel-Tec P11. If your comfortable disassembling guns this should be a fairly easy and straightforward install. Allen wrenches are supplied. Aside from that you'll need a few basic tools like punches, a screwdriver, a small hammer, etc.

First, THE BAD: Regardless of where I put the overtravel and trigger return set screws I COULD NOT get my gun to function with them installed. The trigger wouldn't reset reliably. I got tired of screwing around with them and just installed the trigger without them. It worked perfectly after that. That is my only complaint.

Now, THE GOOD: The trigger is nicely made and finished. The face is very smooth and it doesn't bother me at all to shoot the gun. No rubbing, pinching or other irritations from the trigger. The allen screw that retains the trigger bar spring and the trigger pivot pin as a great upgrade. It was worth the install just for that. Very reasonably priced.

Knowing what I now know, however, I doubt I'd buy this trigger again. It's not enough of an improvement over the stock trigger, in my opinion, to make it worthwhile.

   

I bought the complete setup, Trigger Spring kit, Flat trigger, stainless steel guide rod and 20lb. recoil spring. I received it in four days and installed it the same day. I went from 6.1lb to 2.36lb. pull. the flat trigger came with set screws already set to my liking. I am cautious so the install took me about two and a half hours. The results are amazing. If you have a PF-9 or PF-11 I recommend this full treatment you will not disappointed. You can't beat the prices and the quality is superb. This is where I come for performance parts. Great job MCARBO.

First it is a vast improvement over the original equipment manufacturer or OEM. But it could use some polishing Such as the 2 screws that go into the trigger They are both the same length which Results in them sticking out of the front and back of the trigger and if you have large hands like I do you get poked like a needle. So one screw needs to be about half the length of the other so that it sits inside the trigger on the front of the trigger. (Which I ground down and made it fit)

 

This trigger is a night and day difference from the cheap plastic trigger it came with. It feels great and doesn't hurt my finger shooting the gun anymore. Would definitely buy it again if I had to. Everything I order from you guys is great, thank you!

What's to say this trigger is light years better than the original !

Turned a cheap pistol into a very, very good shooter. PF-9 is a very safe carry gun but factory trigger is garbage, this kits is a game changer.
Recommend stainless guide rod, guide rod spring, spring kit and flat trigger. Take your time and watch the video. You will need the right size punches to make it go smooth, not a hard project.

Installed trigger with MCARBO trigger springs, recoil spring, and aluminum guide rod (the whole she-bang)...and WOW!!!! Night and day difference between stock. Very nice REDUCED trigger pull from stock. NOW...the install is rather straight forward especially if you watch his video. I had issues with a dead trigger (it not resetting on slide back). didn't freak out...played with the pre-travel screw a bit (screwed it almost all the way in) and trigger began resetting as it should after dry fire. I left the over travel screw alone and ground down pre-travel screw a bit and reinstalled and screwed it in and tweaked it until I had clean dry fires EVERYTIME. Took it to the range and put 10 rounds down the range and the trigger went dead on me one time...released trigger squeezed and tried again rapidly and it fired. I bought the allen key with me to the range and did a full turn and continued with the session. The remaining 40 rounds...no more issues.

TLDR...if you dont care about pre-travel and over travel...take the set screws out and put them in the spare parts bag. You dont "need" them for operation. There will be a little slack before the trigger engages the hammer but you wont have worry about sporadic dead trigger issues with the set screws. ALL in all...very slick kit MCARBO.

I purchased the flat trigger and reduced trigger pull spring kit . There is not much adjustment on pre travel before the PF 9 will not fire , If your looking to eliminate the long trigger pull of the gun ,forget it . That's just not going to happen . You will gain a small amount of space in front of the trigger . With the reduced trigger pull spring kit installed my 6 pound trigger went down to 3 1/2 pounds .
