KelTec kudos

Watch the video I posted, does the LCP look particularly hard to hold or shoot?

It's a very mild recoiling pistol that's amazingly accurate.

They just did what Kel-Tec should have done from the beginning, built it right.

Hopefully Ruger gets the short triggering failure fix integrated in their design, as Kel-Tec has done. That is a help for us Glock shooters that are used to quick, shot pull triggers.

Sorry to hear that you've had problems with the P3AT. My family owns 3 of them and none have presented a problem. We use Gold Dots for carry ammo and test it every now and then by pulling it out of the pocket and ripping off a mag full as fast as we can. Never a problem, always shoots and feeds even with pocket lint and all. I often shoot handloads with Rainier plated bullets, 100 gr. Again, no problems ever. I am a big Ruger fan but don't see any reason to replace the Kel-Tec. They both do the same thing but the Ruger has a little nicer finish.

I'm glad your KT work for you, I wish mine had worked for me... I would have kept it and bought a Ruger anyway just to compare them. I would never tell someone to get ride of a pistol that works for them.
