Great little every day carry pistol! You can't even tell it's there.

I've owned this KEL-TEC gun for about 4 or so years now and pocket carry it daily. I hardly know it is even with me. It is the perfect discreet pocket pistol. This gun does everything I need and provides a big punch for such a little gun. It is not fun to shoot mainly because of the short grip and barrel and will tire your wrist quickly.

it is a good little pistol for carry and with practice you will improve your accuracy, it is not a gun to do a lot of shooting at one time, since is more controllable with an extended mag
i used reg .380 ammo and self defense ammo and all fired without any problems

the Keltec pa...at .380 cal is my favorite CCW so this is the second one I bought from Buds Gun Shop is Uber reliable with whatever I run through it so far and is thinner than the other micros with a perfectly long trigger pull I don't have to worry about it being in my back pocket which is where I always carry it in case a fine gentleman offers to relieve me of my wallet. Yes there are other choices out there that hold more rounds and have better sites and with larger grips but I didn't choose my Keltec to hit tight groups at the range it is a reliable CCW that holds seven hollow point .380 rnds and fits very comfortably in my pocket

As with any Kel Tec, I polished up the feed ramp before shooting and it has been flawless with many different ammo types. Always be aware when you buy a Kel Tec that you will probably have to tinker with it a bit (polish feed ramp and sometimes barrel with Dremel and Mothers Mag polish) call it a fluff and buff, before it is completely reliable. After that it makes a great little pocket pistol.

I love my pistol. The magazine is defective. It won’t stay in place with more than 4 rounds loaded. I know it’s bad because I bought two more and the are perfect. But I love the gun.

I've had this p3at for almost four years now,cleaned it and polished feed ramp when i got it,did 100 breakin rounds,don't remember any problems.Use it for conceal carry everyday.Shoot it and clean it usually once a year,never any problems.If you wear jeans it fits great in the righthand watch pocket,no holster necessary,trigger is even covered by the pocket(safety!)Do have a Uncle Mikes in the pocket for non-jean days.Highly recommend this little gem.

Love this little gem. Haven't even shot it but if it fails just send it to Kel-Tec under lifetime warranty. "Buds" sold it to me on a price match and the competitor price didn't include shipping OMG. Got my pistol soon after payment cleared EFT--no complaints as usual. Thanks for the great deal.

First day fired 200 rounds of Winchester and Remington hardball. 80 malfunctions, failure to feed and failure of slide to close completely(!used thumbs to push forward last quarter inch), failure to eject/extract. Called company, they said they would send label for return, label never came, TWICE! Keltec said I should get gun back in SIX week! NOT HAPPY!!!!

I like the small size and small price. The sights were way off out of the box but they are adjustable; so when I get the time I'll zero them in. I use a Glock on duty and this is exactly like it and simple to break down and clean. I would like to get a good holster and see if it will work itself in with my current concealed carry rotation. Night sights would have made this a super find.

I was looking for a small pocket CC for the times when I can't or don't want to carry my Kahr CM9 (love that one!). I read many, many reviews and decided on the .380 pocket CC that started the whole trend (and the one Ruger copied). Shipping was a bit longer than I have experienced the other times I purchased from Buds, but nothing that was going to ding a review. Gun showed up at FFL in great shape, no marks and all parts functioned as they should. The next day I ran 100 rounds through it of standard ball ammo and only had two FTEs and that was due to limp wrist on my part because this little thing is snappy given very low weight and slightly sweaty hands. For range work I added mag finger extensions and Hogue grip - helps a lot. However, for carry I removed those items because this gun is all about hiding its footprint and quick draw when in a pocket. The sites are basically non-existent, but that is on purpose. Regardless, it did not affect how I shot it - 4" pattern at 15', 6" pattern at 20' and 8" pattern at 25 feet. I thought not having a slide hold open would be annoying, but I have to remember this is not a range gun, it's a CC and I feel it will do its job nicely if/when needed to. I would rather carry my 9mm all the time, but reality is NO ONE wants to get hit by a bullet - period. I know some reviews state they got "Monday" guns, but I would still recommend this CC because of size, weight and OK caliber. Many CC reviews say ball ammo may be the best for penetration and that is what I use when carrying. I paired this up with a $6 pocket holster sold by Buds and it all works great!

Trigger pull is heavy and long. That's not a bad thing. The gun has no safety nor does it lock back on the last round. Has a sharp kick because it's a light and small gun. This is well suited for deep conceal carry. I suggest putting one round in the pipe via the mag and then reloading the 6th. round into it for a 6+1 configuration. This gun is for CLOSE range. Don't expect to pick off something at 25 yards, ain't gonna happen. 10 feet or less. CLOSE personal protection, that's what this gun is for and it will work for that. I would clean it first, then put about 50 rounds in it for a break in. It ate every round I feed it and never jammed. If you try to put over 100 rounds through it, it'll start to gum up. It's a personal pocket gun, not an all day at the range one. Keep it clean and well oiled and it will do its job.This is a good gun.

I ordered a Kel Tec 380 P3at from Bud's Guns on 6/22/12. The shipping was fast as I picked up my pistol from my FFL dealer only 3 days later. I was extremely pleased with the P3at as it is very light and extremely concealable. As a retired law officer, I am armed at all times and with the P3at I can carry it in a pocket holster in the front pocket of my jeans or shorts. I have fired approx. 3 magazines through the pistol with no FTF or FTE. This pistol is awesome, I highly reccommend it and want to say Bud's is GREAT and when you order from them, there are no surprises and you will be extremely satisfied. THANKS BUDS.

Well made, very light and fits well in waist band holsters. Not a gun to run 100 rds through at the range every time you go, but a great little CCW for the $, ran 75 rounds through it day one, 3 FTE, no FTF. Very accurate at 7 yards. Hope to see the FTE to improve now that i have pulled it part and cleaned it myself. No slide lock which takes some getting used to.

After 5 weeks at Kel-Tec for repair, my P3AT was back in action. Took the pistol out to the range yesterday and put 48 rounds of FMJ through her without any incident! Looks like Kel-Tec fixed the problem (FTE). Kel-Tec changed many internal components and polished the feed ramp. They also recommend that I not use any cheap aluminum/steel casing ammo. Called Kel-Tec twice and both times they were very courteous and professional. Other than the 5 week delay, I think Kel-Tec's customer service is good. It's nice to hace my CCW back.

Experience with Bud s , ordering , shipping etc was great. The P-3AT i recieved is another story. Went to the range and fired 75 rounds of high quality ammo. Gun misfired over 30% of time. Ejection jammed as well. Fired same amt of rounds thru my Beretta 380 without a problem. Trigger pull is ridiculously hard on Keltec and causes major targeting problems. I bought this guy based on reviews and as a backup carry weapon. Its got major issues. Can t get Keltec to answer phone or emails so their customer service is about as good as the quality of the gun.

The P3AT is well worth the money. I purchased one, Buds had it to my dealer in 4 days. First I completely stripped it down (go to YouTube for good videos of how to) soaked it in solvent overnight, lubbed lightly and fired a box of walmart off the shelf .380s with not even a hiccup. It does give the range safety officer fits because the action doesn't lock back and the sights (?} are terrible but for up close and personal, it will do the job. A lot easier to carry than my PPK.

First note: buds is always great and fast. The gun is fine, shoots what i put into it. The gun does feel a lil chincy but all the plastic helps with weight and it fits easily into my pocket as my ccw. I don't shoot it too often at the range, and hope i never have to in a real world situation but it's a nice little back up.

I took this gun to the range and put 80 rounds through it some jhp, some fmj and i didnt experience any fte's or ftf's but the trigger broke. So when I pull the trigger the hammer wont drop. Now i have to send it back to kel-tec. Save for the Kahr or the walther ppk is the lesson learned here

Just a note on Dave's review. If you live in Chicago or anywhere in IL - there is no concealed carry. Handguns are illegal in the City of Chicago.

this is my every day carry gun - i keep a full magazine in and the chamber unloaded, for safety. it has a Crimson Trace LG430 laser and a custom leather holster from CustomHolster.com. this is definitely the way to go, as i can carry in my back pocket every day and it is totally concealed. ps. i live in Chicago and am a NRA Life Member and member of my state assoc. ISRA.

You have to love this little gun with lots of power. Ive just ordered a grip extension as I find it a little uncomfortable to fire. I carry it in my dominant hand pocket holster along with a Bersa Thunder 380 Plus inside the pants holster... ya might say I'm prepared.
