PS-9 or P-11?

What is the deal with the PS-9, I just did some window shopping on the Kel-
Tec website and I cannot figure out which pistol is smaller? I am looking for a sub compact pocket pistol. Does Kel-Tec offer a handgun in .40 or are they only in 9mm? I thought the P-11 was chambered in both 9mm and .40 S&W, but the website only showed the P-11 in 9mm? Is the PS-9 a smaller pistol or just thinner?

The PF-9 is about the same size as the P-11. The only difference is the 11 is a double stack and the 9 a single stack. Therefore the P-11 is a little thicker. I carry the P-11 daily and find it to be no problem to conceal at all. If you have larger hands, I'd suggest the P-11 as the PF-9 may be a little narrow for you. Of course, go to a gun shop and handle both. I love my P-11 but you may find that you don't.

Oh, and I'm guessing that you meant PF instead of PS.

Yes I ment the PF. I saw a P-11 in 9mm in my local gun store the other day, it was smaller than my Sig 232 .380. I did not pick it up but I cannot belive it is a double stack, maby I was looking at a PF-9, but it was next to a P3AT which was tiny. They are cheep enough to buy up guilt free. I need another pistol like I need a hole in my head.
