I saw one at a gun shop recently (You can’t buy them new here…at least for the moment) and I’m starting to kick myself for not buying it.

I’ve had one for several years, and it is my primary carry piece, and yes, I’ve qualified with it for LEOSA national carry.
I like the three-dot sights on mine, and can hit metal silhouettes at 25 meters almost every round, and easily “walk” fire onto the 50-yard clangers during tactical practice.
The price point is excellent, with these pistols being available used for $200-250. I’ve not found any ammo the gun won’t like, and have shot Federal Classic, PMC HP and Winchester Ranger in it, as well as 115-grain ball for practice. The trigger pull is VERY long, but smooth and NOT stagy. Grip is very important, as this little pistol WILL give you a nasty slide bite, especially during peek-and-shoot work from behind a low barrier (where you HAVE to alter your grip).
I carry mine in a Don Hume #30-1 belt-slide, and the spare maggy in a Kramer single open-top mag carrier made for Glock 19 mags. The fine Mec-Gar mags are a loose fit in the Kramer, so I slide the mag in alongside a doubled-over Q-tip to provide tension (and give me something to clean dirt with if I need to).
BTW, my primary mag holds Ranger 147-gr, but my secondary is 124-gr NATO ball, for static urban work against a harder target.

Unc. you and I shot a P11 from the rental counter at Coal Creek Armory. At the time I wasn’t impressed.
Then a couple years later I shot Countertop’s. I couldn’t miss with his. It completely upgrade my opinion of the P11.

I do remember shooting counter’s. It’s a damn accurate gun.
