FQ, What is this "Fluff & Buff" of which you speak? Is it a Factory service or is it something I can do myself? I have worked on most of my guns at one time or another and am fairly handy at gunsmithing .Thanks for the info.
Bascally its a little polishing. They offered to do it free for me at the factory when I called them and asked if they could lighten the 8 pound pull on my P-11. The answer was no to the trigger pull, but yes to the fluff and buff. They were extremely helpful folks. Next to Bond Arms in Tx., I've never met a gun company so willing to bend over backwards for a customer. I'd go and google kel-tec. There is an owners group out there that can give you the ins and outs on their pistols. I do have to warn you, and here I speak as an Obama voting Glock owner, that even I choke on the amount of Kool-aid these folks have drunk.  ;D Still, a very useful forum for any tech questions. I apologize for not remembering the URL, but its been a while. Good luck.

Its a reliability prep..... KT's machining is pretty loose so you will want to give it a once over before you start the break in process (50-100 rds of ball ammo) and knock off any rough spots. Is all pretty easy DIY stuff. Here is the full run down on what might be neccesary:

Thanks for the info guys, I'll tear it down once I get it and see what needs to be done.
"If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge nor jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim." - Jeff Cooper
Pericles--"Freedom is only for those who have the guts to defend it".

The problem with society today is that not enough of us drink wine from our enemies skulls”.

It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars!!!
-Sheriff Jim Wilson
"When tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty" Thomas Jefferson
Es gibt keine Notwendigkeit zu befürchten, Underdog hier ist.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. Where are we now??????

eric posted the link to golden loki, the F+B is something you can absolutely do by yourself.

The trigger is long, because in essence, that is the safety. It breaks clean, but you have to damn well be sure to intentionally be pulling it.
 
The mag catch is not metal, and the tradition of inserting a mag with a bit of authority, will wear it out prematurely if you slam them home.

Generally, when inserting a mag, I depress the mag catch button, and release when seated. They do have metal ones available but they are tougher to find.

Good advice on the ball, FMJ break in, when you strip it down, watch for the little notched pt. 114, upper left groove of the frame slide. It can grow legs, and run away.  ::) it just sits in the grooves, but can be removed.

You'll see it.

Post a range report, at 3 to 5 yds. you'll overcome the "sights", or lack there of, real quick. But it gets hits and is consistent for combat accuracy.





Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.
