[ram57ta]

I realize its an inexpensive gun.....but does anyone have one and is it any good?

98% replica of the LCP. i ahve the lcp and have had zero issues. my cousin has a keltec and he loves it.

god bless.

I had one- they are a shittier copy of the lcp. I put 100 rounds through mine and had at least 15+ failures with different brands of quality ammo. Trigger sucks, recoil sucks, save your money for some worth a damn

I have one I bought in 2005. Didn't the lap come after that?

Yeah I kinda got a chuckle there...the P3at came out first...Ruger basically made a prettier version of it with LCP, then they copied the PF9 and added a safety calling it the LC9.

My dad has a Kel-Tec 380 and .32 He likes them both. For the size and cost I'd say they are great little guns.

Found one for sale used but in practically new condition in the original box..guy said he'd take $225 for it and was thinking about picking it up as a lightweight summer carry gun. Although I've carried the .40 in the summer months...sometimes I find myself wishing I had something a little lighter under a few circumstances and the P3at seems to be just about as light as I could imagine a .380 being.

The Keltec came out first I'm almost positive

Yes it did.The only problem I have with mine is cycling personal defense rounds.

Our kitchen gun is a Keltec P-3AT.

It's small and doesn't pack a ton of punch, comparitively, but if someone sneaks up on my while I'm cooking... well, it'll do the job.


(seriously, we keep a .380 and Surefire light in a kitchen drawer)

Pick up an xds, lc9s, or a sig 938

I beg of you not to trust your life to a p3at

Serious advice...
Mine won't feed anything but FMJ. Wanna run JHP? It's gonna crash into the feed ramp and lock up every time.

So its only problem is doing its only job?
