Exchange for Hard Chrome Slide

[RonJ]

I am sending my PF-9 back to Kel-Tec for some warrenty repair, when I pull the trigger it goes all the way back, but the hammer does not fall, and the gun won't fire. I already talked to CS and they said to send it in. My dealer will send it for me so the cost to me will be minimal for shipping.

I bought the gun two years ago, and it has around 1,600 rounds through it.

I thought that while the factory had my gun that I would exchange my beat up blued slide for a hard chrome slide. The cost is $75.

What do you guys think? Good idea to do this?

Thanks.

If the HC turns you on, go for it... Personally I prefer parkerized on the 3AT, it's not a pretty gun IMO, it just needs to not rust.

the switch would be purely aesthetic. but for $75 it cheaper then getting the old one refinished

Just a FYI, for those considering sending their guns in for warranty repair, I called Kel-Tec Friday and was told that it is now taking 5 to 6 weeks for warranty repaair.

Per Kel Tec, they are currently out of stock on all Hard Chrome slides and they are not sure when they are getting more. Seems they're in the market for a new HC vendor. Something about going with a vendor they used to use years ago.

They are still doing the hard chrome slide/barrel exchange program. However, they do not have any hard chrome slides or barrels in stock. It could be four months until hard chrome parts are available. Kel Tec is not currently taking orders or pre-orders for hard chrome parts.

The rep said they are searching for a new vendor for their hard chrome finishing. They are having quality issues with their current outside plating vendor. The Kel Tec rep said the "quality just isn't there", so they are looking for a new plating company.

The Kel Tec rep said to call back in a month or so for an update.
