For an investment...I do not think any KelTec will get respect as a collectors firearm such as a S&W a CZ...or a Ruger. As a EDC or often used firearm, part availability will become very hard to find in a few years for an out of production firearm. At that price....I would probably take the chance!

LOL! I said more expensive, not increase in value. Lord knows I'll never get back what I paid for most of my guns.
At that price if a person really wants a PF9 as a carry piece or part of a KT collection that's one thing. An investment it isn't. Only KelTec I personally know of that holds close to original MSRP is the SUB9. I've bought & sold several, paid $600+ for some & around $ 300 for others. Sold some for a profit some for what I paid.

No brainer - buy it.
Find a standard pressure load that feeds and is recommended, then stash the PF-9 and ammo for a rainy day. Think of it as cheap insurance.
As to investment, one thing the stagflation of the 1970s taught us is that guns were a great hedge against inflation. In a few years that price should double.

I would have bought it.
I wanted a PF-9 when they first came out but then I moved to a state where they were unavailable. I would have bought it just to satisfy that nostalgia alone. $179 is nothing these days. I can't even fill up my Suburban for that price.

Since you didn't mention an intended purpose for the possible purchase this gun, I can only speculate:
If you'd be buying it as an investment, I tend to agree with the above comments of it never becoming a collector's item.
As merely a fun plinker or an inexpensive trainer, at that price, it would be hard to beat.
But, if you're considering it as a carry piece that you'd be depending upon to save your life, I'd recommend something that is substantially better built and more reliable (i.e., Sig P365, Glock 42, S&W Shield, etc.). Yes, when it comes to overall quality of a firearm, you do get what you pay for.
Decided to call and see if the still had it. They do and was told it comes with a case and three extra magazines. Put it on hold and will go check it out tomorrow. Did see that a few also popped up on gun broker.
It's at the closest one to me. Going to check it out tomorrow.
No real reason for the purchase as I have a P11 and P40. Would use it for range time and practice mostly. I know some members here use it as edc and ccw. Not sure I would as I have a Springfield xds in .45 for that. Decided to call and see if the still had it. They do and was told it comes with a case and three extra magazines. Put it on hold and will go check it out tomorrow.

Shoot, If you want it get it. They are really compact for a 9mm and pack a reasonable punch. Stick with std pressure loads or yu'll do like I did and shear off the ejector. Course I'd shot about 600 rounds of +P+ ammo thru it. When I took it to keltec show them it, they gave me coffee and fixed that little hand cannon
Thanks. I hope I made a good decision.

Jump on it. Not much to lose if it gets stolen and a great carry gun to keep handy.
