Is there a noticable difference between the two pistols, besides the obvious??

> The PF-9 has a lighter trigger pull. This is a carry-over from its dual ancestry of being derived from both the P-11 and the P3AT. It got the P3AT's trigger, a common complaint against the P-11 is, after all, the heavy-ish trigger pull. The PF-9 does not have second strike capability.

Note that it is true that the early production PF-9s had some serious problems, Kel-Tec was really good about pushing through revisions that have cleared them up. I understand that what is now being produced are "mature" and don't have the early issues. The model had growing pains, in other words.
