Another happy P3AT owner... - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Took my P3AT out on Sunday for a brief run through. It fed flawlessly with Speer Gold Dot HPs. The recoil is snappy (I had to readjust my grip after each round) but nothing I can't get used to. The short grip on this pistol is what made it difficult (nothing for the pinky to hold onto). All in all, couldn't be happier. I'd recommend them to friends.

There is a pinky extension that you can buy, if it's a problem. Lot's of info at KTOG (Keltec owners group) on all Keltec products.

I have two of these great little pocket pistols. Fits in my left rear pocket like a second wallet. I stack a mix of Corbon DPX and American Eagle FMJ in mine. Both rounds feed without any problems, and both are highly rated in all the testing done with the P3AT.

This gun falls in the "better than not carrying anything" catagory. Would rather have my XD 45, but it won't fit in my pocket holster no matter how much I try.

thejoe,

Glad to hear your happy with your P3AT. It's a nice pocket pistol. I had one but recently sold it. I tried the +1 extension but didn't really care for the design. I think the pinkie extension might be a better choice.

Good job thejoe. I have one in my pocket right now. Best bet for carry ammo is Corbon DPX, IMHO. That's what I have in mine. Feeds well and penetrates deeply with expansion. Great stuff.

I had one for awhile, I am glad yours functions well. Had trouble with mine, tried different ammo-I know I wasnt limp wristing so it was a bit irratating to have it jam.

Ended up selling it and picking up a S&w 442-glad I did!!

Same here. Sent mine back to KT and the replaced the barrel and slide. I sold it this past weekend since I bought a SW 642.
