Anyone have one of these beauties? Mine has been berry berry good to me. Carries in my pocket like it's not even there. I have the OD frame with the blue slide, wrapped the grip with bicycle tubing to smooth out the checkering. I'll post a pic when I get the chance. ;)

I've been looking at these as well as the Kahr's for a small carry piece. Obviously, you would recommend the Keltec. I'm hoping to get an opportunity to shoot one or both before buying, of course price play a small part as well. If I can find either at a good price that may help presuade me too.

Never heard of using a piece of bicycle tube on the grip. Sounds like it would make it definitely none slip.

Nice little piece you have there. Good idea on the grip.

Thanks, I doubled up on the tubing to fatten up the grip to fit my hand better. It cushions the grip as well. I got the idea of the KTOG forum.

I have the P3AT and my wife has the P-32 which I carried for a while. My brother sold his P3AT and bought the Ruger LCP and is considerably more pleased with it for fit and finish. He thinks it is more reliable but has not fired it enough to know at present. I have never been totally pleased with my P3AT since it had problems out of the box and I sent it back to the factory. Failure to feed problems. It is better and I "fluffed and buffed" it. But still occasionally is hesitant to load when chambering the first round. I also carry a Ruger P345 and will probably sell the Keltec and buy a LCP before it's over.

Later,

John

If you do not mind explaining the method of "fluffed and buffed". I have heard it before but I guess I have never done it to any of my firearms.

I did the "fluff n buff" on my PF-9, which was a POS out of the box and since it has been flawless. I highly recomend it.
