Total Rounds Fired= 836, (two 6rd mags w/ +1 extensions used)
5 FTF (feed) total

1st FTF: First day I bought the pistol without an initial cleaning I had a FTF @ count #2, with WWB ammo; I attributed this to not doing an initial cleaning and user error.
@Round count # 179 a fluff and buff polish was done at this point my P-3AT was digesting PMC Bronze ammo and WWB with no issues. I also tested Corbon DPX 14rounds (my carry ammo) no issues.
I typically shoot 25rds a range visit…once a week and clean the gun that day. Hopps#9 and CLP.
2nd , 3rd , 4th FTF all occurred with back to back range sessions (two different days) with Georgia Arms factory reloaded .380 ammo @ around~ 350rd count (first time I used the ammo). I was concerned that something was going on with the pistol so I stopped shooting the GA-arms ammo and switched to PMC Bronze and Seller and Bellot ammo and since then the FTF’s has stopped. I also shot another 20rds of Corbon DPX w/ 0 issues. For the record I love Georgia Arms factory reloads all my other guns eat them up w/ 0 issues so I will continue to buy from them in other calibers but for me I will be hesitant of using it in my Kel-Tec.
Diet of WWB, PMC, Corbon DPX and using up of the rest of my GA Arms ammo
Selected Fluff and Buff done at 447
Currently at 836 rounds.
Lesions I have learned:
1) My Kel-Tec P-3AT is ammo sensitive and I suspect a lot of people in this board have had similar issues.
2) The “Fluff and Buff” works very well every Kel-Tec should have one done. In addition each time I clean my P-3AT I also note where the wear is showing up and adjust the occlusion/wear accordingly with my dremal.
3) I love my +1 mag extensions, the extra round is awesome and makes grip better in my hands, and this is an advantage over the LCP in my opinion.
4) I have a Gen. 2 so at every cleaning I tighten the extractor bolt.
5) When changing magazines I always manually press down the mag-catch as to save on the plastic mag-catch wear.
