Bought a Kel-Tec P3AT. Can't believe it.
Cannot believe I would ever say this, but I bought a Kel-Tec.
I already have a ton of light carry guns, including LCP, but a guy at work was unloading a P3AT for cheap. He also has a PF-9 for sale, but I was not interested. Since you can never have enough tiny carry guns, I snapped it up. Got it with a DeSantis Nemesis holster and three mags and hard case all out the door for under $200. It is the ugly two tone, OD model, but it works good. Took her to the range last night, and I must say, I was impressed.
It gobbled through 100 rounds of Sellier and Bellot, 92gr, 9mm Browning Court\.380 Auto with no problem. Not one hiccup. Flawless. Got so excited, I carried it hiking with the family today. Doesn't print at all in Khakis, and I forgot I had it. The keys in my left pocket were more obtrusive than the kel-tec. Really no different than the LCP in terms of shape and size and how it rides in the pocket, so nothing real new to me, but always nice to have anyway.
I am starting to get the sickness for these little pocket\bug guns.
