Going to get one of these tomorrow. Anyone have any thoughts or problems with the Kel-tec P3-AT?

It's small

The KEL-TEC P-3AT is the lightest .380 Auto pistol ever made

The P-3AT is normally supplied with a 6 round single column steel magazine.

The small grip size and light trigger pull make the P-3AT ideal for female shooters

Description = BLUED FINISH
Price = $305.00

I think the part in red covers it

Glad you like it

But as a mans pocket gun, thoughts?

I'd carry a 2" .357 wheelgun instead

Course, thats just me... lumps hide better than blocks.

To me, every wheelgun I have tried to conceal in a apocket has looked like I was trying to rob a gumball machine.

PLus, the auto is cheaper

I guess i didn't say that this will be a BUG or maybe sometimmes the only one but regularly i carry a .45

gipper · 09-22-2005, 07:23 PM

those are definately not range guns, but they're great for ccw.

I agree because I have never been impressed with the 380 round as a whole.. Now don't get me wrong it will do plenty of damage at close range but like you said there are better guns you could carry that would give you more bang for the buck

The other thing I don't like about 380's is most of the ones I have seen have to small of a frame and if you got big hands they suck..

What ever you do don't buy a Davis 380 because the slide will pinch your hand when you shoot it and make you wish you never spent the $100 bucks to rip your hand open

$305 for a Kel-tec?? always thought they were cheaper. Does that thing have a slide lock or ANY kind of safty on it?

I am still bias to my Bersa 380 for $230 out the door

I have had one for about 4 mos. I love it for concealed! Hang on to that little bastard, it jumps!

And at $305 they are ripping you off, shop around. Everywhere around here they are $229- $250 tops.

I also highly recommend either the 10 round extension or the grip extension. My meathooks can only get 2 fingers on the gun.

DMG · 09-23-2005, 04:20 AM

I have the Keltec 32. I bought it after a defective NAA Guardian blew up in my face. The Keltec feels cheap but it works fine.

I am surprised at how many of you like the Bersa 380. I shot a friends and it did not work well. The gun store gave him his money back. Maybe he just got a bad one.

zukota · 09-23-2005, 05:43 AM

just make sure you don't limp wrist it - you will have problems.

... you should try holding on to a p40

fj40john · 09-23-2005, 06:28 AM

i have one and i love it. it doesnt get carried much, except when i can't carry a bigger gun, or when i feel like i might need a second. Drops in a front pocket like its not even there, or can go in the back pocket without being uncomfortable. Never had a problem with mine. We sell them for about $240. I picked up a used one with some ammo for $120.

beyondhelp · 09-23-2005, 06:53 AM

I have about 2000+ rounds through a p-11 kel-tec and I like it. Granted as others ahev mentioned it's not a range gun. It's DAO with no safety but the trigger pull on mine is good enough that I feel perfectly comfortable with it. 10 rounds of 9mm are better than nothing. I wanted a p32 to match it since summer in Florida makes carryign a bigger gun tough. Gotta get my permit so I can actually carry the p-11. The two times I broke my Kel-Tec I just called and they mailed me the replacement parts without any hassle at all no questions or anything. I broke the main spring once and the assembly pin once but the gun was free cause the previous owner didn't like it.
