I love my new Kel Tec, my only gripe is the sights. Do they have any after market sight for this thing.

[RaidingWindmills]

@M8DMAN Just laser sights as far as I know. The regular sights on this gun are built into the slide and not removable.

I have the p32 which is like the same exact thing, except for in .32 caliber. Is the reliability and accuracy any different from the p3at?

[RaidingWindmills]

Hmm.. don't know. Haven't tried the P32 yet. I think you're in a better position to tell us. Has your gun jammed yet?

Thanks for the review. I have an LCP and am really liking it so far. I have had no malfs in about 300 rounds. Plus it has the kind of extractor where you can insert a round and let the slide snap shut (according to the manual). disappears in a pocket.

[RaidingWindmills]

Thanks for your comment. Especially about the LCP extractor. I was always wondering about that.

what gun is that in the background?

[Jacked2100]

LOL... Its a "conceal carry weapon".. He carries it on a daily basis. How is he going to protect himself from getting robbed or from someone threatening his life without rounds? LOL. Not gonna work too well if there is not any rounds.

Kel Tec is made in Cocoa Beach Florida. Do they ship it to Italy?? LMAO

I enjoy my P3AT, I actually got the Special Edditon model, (not sure if its a 2nd or 3rd gen (if there is such a thing))... It came with a Crimson Trace Laser, built-on belt clip, and hard box case. yet to jam in any way... Works great I will agree the sights on the gun suck but the laser is awesome making the accuracy pain sick...

it looks like a staple gun

[waggs243]

the p3at is not supposed to work for the first 50-100 shots hover i never had a jam or failure to eject and i have not modified to anyway and all brands work in mine

Thanks for the review! Looking to get a ccw gun for my daughter. I think I will scratch this one off my list. I owned a Grendel 380 at one time (predessesor company of Kel-tec) and it was the most unreliable POS you could imagine. Reliability with Kel-tec still seems to be somewhat of an issue.

parkerized is great, very resistant to all kinds of corrosion, due to the fact it holds oil in the finish very well
