I just bought my first Kel-Tec, a P-3AT for $275. I haven't even fired it yet. Just got it home, fondled it a bit and read the manual. Nice little padlock - I'll bet I can find a real use for it somewhere... I can't wait to get out and shoot it. I plan on buying a pocket holster and that's about it. I figure this little thing serves one purpose - discreet concealed carry - and I want the most discreet holster possible. Anybody got a better carrying suggestion? |

I had the Guru Dave holster and it is made very well. I like the idea of a front and rear pocket holster in 1.The only thing about making it into the front pocket holster is if your front pocket is big the hook part of the holster dos'nt snag enough when drawn. On a side note, the one thing I would look out for is peening around the guide rod hole. Not sure if Kel-Tec finally got around to fixing it but they were making the area around the guide rod hole to thin and a good amount of people had peening issues which are obvious as there will be a ridge around the hole. You can also see inside if the material is thin. Over at www.ktog.org there is someone who sells washers to put inside the hole which is what I had to do and sure enough it worked.Plus the peening issue has been posted to death over there on the P3AT section so look around that forum for info. I would say as many others will, just go shoot it and check everything afterwards.Know that if it jams you might be "limp wristing" it. This is common with most small autos, especially when it weighs as little as the P3AT does.Another good idea if it feels to squirrly in your hands when shooting it is to get a finger groove base plate. There are a couple out there, mainly the Bersa Thunder .380 types are the most common. Other than that all I can say is Kel-Tec has great customer service. Most parts that normaly go bad will be sent right to your door free of charge with no questions asked with just an e-mail or phone call. |
