Hello, everyone.
With all of this talk about the new Ruger LCP in .380 and its, ahem, similarity to the Kel-Tec P3AT, I just wanted to know what people's experiences have been with the Kel-Tec gun. I'm interested only in first person reports, not what your cousin's best friend's grandmother has experienced. Do you have a first or second generation gun?
My own personal 2nd gen P3AT has been 100% reliable over 500 rounds. I never shoot more than 50 rounds between cleanings, and I lock my wrist tightly when shooting. I've shot nothing but Cor Bon hollow points through it since purchase. Mine is the hard cromed model with OD frame, if that matters.
My personal gun has been great, and I'll continue to rely on it. But it seems that a great number of people have had nothing but trouble with the platform, and I'd be lying if I said my confidence in the long term durability/reliability hasn't been somewhat shaken.
Regards.
