The PF-9 pairs a 4140 steel slide and barrel with an internal 7075-T6 aluminum frame and a DuPont ST-8018 polymer grip housing. This construction keeps weight to 12.6 oz unloaded while maintaining strength in a locked-breech, DAO configuration.
Dimensions are compact and consistent with the model’s design: 5.85 in overall length, 4.3 in height, and 0.88 in width. Capacity is 7+1 rounds using the included single-stack magazine.
Sights are a 3-dot set with a fixed front blade and a windage-adjustable rear. The rear sight adjusts via a 5/64 inch hex screw, allowing straightforward, tool-based windage correction.
Controls and features include a left-side button magazine release, rear cocking serrations, an external ejection port, and an external, partially shrouded hammer. A short, single-slot accessory rail is integrated into the dust cover for compatible light or laser attachments.
Per factory guidance, the PF-9 accepts 9mm +P ammunition, though not for continuous use. The pistol was discontinued in 2022 and was manufactured in the USA.
