We have seen that the PF9 has a polymer frame. When the slide reverses backward, the hammer rotates downwards, and when the slide gets back in its place, the hammer moves forward until it is engaged, clutching it away from the firing pin.
Two external controls are present in the gun- a standard magazine release button and a slide-release lever, both of which give the PF9 its sleek profile and reduces hang-up when drawing the pistol. A short rail below the barrel is used for mounting aftermarket lights and lasers. The three-dot mechanism enhances sight visibility in low-light situations. Shooters aim the pistol with a set of three in-built three-dot sights, with the rear sight modifiable for windage once its retaining Allen screw is released. The trigger pull weighs five pounds, which is acceptable for a double-action pistol. Though, most shooters see the lack of magazine safety as a positive. The pistol does feature a magazine safety nor second-strike capability. The hammer and breech safeties also prevent accidental discharge in case the pistol drops. However, there is a passive hammer-block safety that disengages when the shooter pulls the trigger. The Dupont 8180 high-impact polymer- constructed frame, which shelters the trigger group, features a sturdy 7075 T-6 aluminum billet.Īs a double-action-only handgun, the PF9 lacks an external hammer and relies on the safety of the DAO trigger system. The slide is built of the same steel as the barrel. The manufacturing of the PF9 involves the use of both metal and lightweight polymers. The shorter barrel will make maneuvering the PF9 easier, but reduce bullet velocity and terminal ballistics potential at longer ranges.
It measures 3.1-inches and is manufactured of 4140 steel reinforced to 48RHC.
Moreover, it has an advantage in its 7-round magazine compared to a 6-round magazine of other 9mm pistols. With such a compact profile, it can easily fit in your coat pocket or car’s utility compartment. The PF9 pistol is fairly small, 5.85-inch long by 4.3-inch tall to be precise.
