The Kel Tec PF9 is a poor man's subcompact pistol, in order for them to cycle you need to hold it properly.
Trayvon didn't even necessarily need to touch the slide for it to jam, it's hard to hold a small pistol properly in such a high stress situation and given the flaws of pistols that size it's easy to see how the there could have been a feeding failure resulting in a 300 dollar pistol jamming.

Do you think that it could have a feeding failure and still eject the spent casing during a struggle over the gun?
Yep, I've had it happen with a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm where it ejected the casing but failed to load a new round, not an actual round partially in the chamber with that pistol though it could easily happen with a more finicky pistol, and I have had a .22 lr jam with the new round stuck in the chamber partially many times.
While that does happen, those situations are usually when the magazine is lower on ammunition and is caused by a weak spring, not struggling over a firearm.
The Kel Tec PF9 isn't exactly known for it's reliability even when firing at the range in contrast to a self defense situation. There are many threads about this online and stories about them stove piping.
One reason I don't own Kel's. Springfields and Colts are my choices when it comes to handguns.
I want to get a full size handgun soon but I'm not sure what kind. I'm thinking about going for a Glock 19 maybe, I've heard good things about them but I'm not too big on the lack of a safety on Glocks.
What do you have?
