Kel Tec P11 question

[pops572]

I have a question I hope you guys can help me with. I have a coworker that has a P11 and is looking for higher capacity mags for it. I know the S&W 59 series mags work in the p11, but does anyone know if any other S&W series will work?

69 series compact 12 round

Cool, I figured they should both work, but didn't want to tell him and be wrong.

Ask him if his factory 10 rounders rattle when loaded. If so, he can bug KelTec and they will send him a 12 round, no rattle mag at no charge. A friend of mine got two that way. Just don't let them say no.

Email harassment work, or will he have to call?

[Westwindmike]

I believe that my friend only used email.

The Kel-Tec P-11 mag rattle is legendary, but true! I think millions of words have been written about it over at KTOG!

[Westwindmike]

I don't know why KT won't just redesign the follower to fix it.

I'm the friend Westwind Mike is referring to. I used both email and phone calls, but mostly emails. The 12 round mag is the same exact dimension as the 10 round (10 round rattles, 12 round does not). My plea was that a rattle from my mag could give my position away, were I trying to conceal my position, while confronting a night time intruder in my home. The danger of this situation is obvious. They were nice people to deal with.

Why is it called common sense, when it is so uncommon? TN Sen. Fred Thompson

as stated there are some s&w mags that will work. also kel tec has 12 round mags. over at one of the kel tec boards they show how to fix the 10 round mag rattle and how to turn a 10 round mag into a 12 round mag.

Ahhhh, the KT P11 rattling mag routine.

Try this:

Load mag all the way up [or after chambering to top off].

Get really small screwdriver. Insert blade of small screwdriver into

one of the inspection [round count] holes and gently, pry downward

on a cartridge case. Just a little. Stops the rattle every time.
