Which would you get for concealed carry and why?
I'm waffeling over the P-11. It feels nicer in my hand than the PF-9. If it came with a rail on it like the PF-9, I'd already have it.
If I needed anything tiny, I'd go for the P3-AT.
Have all three. All are fine, LCP probably fine too but PF9 is favorite. I shoot it better, can pocket carry it & it holds 8 rds @ 350 ft/lbs each.
P-3AT clipped in my back pocket right now... I'm happy.
If I'm going to carry a gun the size of a P-11 (which I sold for the P-3AT), I'll carry my XD9SC.
The PF-9 was just a bit too big for pocket carry for me.

Been carrying a P-11 for some time now.
800+ rounds fired through it with the only problems being after shooting nearly 450 rounds without cleaning as a test. Ejector broke Thursday don't know if it was one of the bad batch I heard they had awhile back or the +P HST's I was shooting.
Love the size and weight of the P-11 albeit the trigger pull is stiff but acceptable once you are used to it.
Just bought a p3at and stripped, cleaned, oiled and put a "fluff and buff" on it. Have to work this weekend so I will not be able to shoot it until later this week.
To answer the question, P-11.
I've had no problems with my P3AT. It's a great little gun and serves its purpose as a pocket gun. I've held both of the 9mm's and fully loaded, they're just a bit too heavy for me to comfortably carry in my pocket all day.
i voted for the 3AT
i was just about to buy one when the LCP came out so I got that one
I own a p-11. Have a couple holsters for it. Thinking of a P3at as next possible purchase.
My wife and I both have P-11's. I really don't care for the PF-9 design, and Kel-Tec is going to the same design for the P-11's soon. I wouldn't mind a P3-at though (not the LCP).The Ruger still has some bugs that need to be worked out, or so I've heard. And besides it's more expensive!
Drat! Got here too late for the poll!
Well, anyway, I got to hold a PF-9 and lemme tell you, it is sweet. I really wonder if it's even possible to make a 9mm handgun smaller than that one.
It's a very serious deep concealment gun.
However, I already own a P-11 and am loving it. I carry it in my back pocket all day long and barely notice it's there. It feels like a wallet.
BUT! Even though I have no real need for another 9mm handgun for CCW, if I were looking again, the PF-9 would be on top of the short list for consideration. Hell, more I think about it, the more I believe I'd toss that list and go for the PF-9. Fairly potent round in an almost too small delivery system that can be concealed nearly anywhere. What's not to like?
