I think the last I heard it was going to be late May or more than likely early June. Probably read it on KTOG.

My dealer has had three on order since the Shot Show, and I'm first on his list! :D

I, like others ... have put P-32 on hold .. am anxious to see what the 380 will be like .. cos right now I am tempted (in theory)!

How about a CA DROP TEST, KEL-TEC?

ARE YOU LISTENING?

How about the state of California (not the tax-payers) funding the tests with confiscated drug money?

I can't blame the smaller makers for shying away from the Cali-tests... just based on the expense involved... especially as they aren't suffering from the loss of sales.

Y'all need to get organized and whip them legiscritters into shape, or vote them out of office. :D

100 eh? Glad I just got a P32 for now... I smell a Seecamp type fever starting for this thing if all they shipped was 100...

if the P-3AT has the hammer block like the P-32 does (I think it does) it would have no problem passing any drop test.... The problem is that I don't think KT will sell them in CA because they don't want to get sued... I can't say I blame them.

Have to use the money to fund the election/reelection champaign's for anti gun assembly critters!! :D

RSR Distributing (Dallas div) got 3... but my dealer's sales rep isn't high enough up the food chain to be allocated one! :cuss:

Here's an update from KT's website from yesterday and a posting by a KT gunsmith on the P-3ATs. 100 shipped so far, more soon:


P-3AT UPDATE: The P-3AT pistol is currently in production. The first units were shipped on 5-23-2003. (posted 6-3-2003)


SU-16 UPDATE: The SU-16 rifle is currently in production. We anticipate the first units will be shipped by the end of june. (posted 6-3-2003)


P3AT
Actually they were distributed among each distributer 5 each til they were gone. Don't know which ones except for B&H Gunrack in Merritt Island and those were already presold (if there is such a word) I delivered those myself.

I handled one at the Dallas gun show this past weekend... was priced too high at $299, but its small, light, and not much different externally from the P-32s that were $219. :D

Still waiting on my dealers order to come in... price will be much better... where it should be.
