KelTec kudos

Ordered some spare parts from KelTec last Friday afternoon.
They were on my doorstep this afternoon!

Excellent service.

They really stand behind their product. I see a P3AT in my future.

If I can't lay my hands on a Ruger LCP soon, I do too.

BTW - I keep hearing bad stuff about K/T on here but I've had a P-11 for several years now and never had a problem.

There's one for sale on this board for $190 currently. I keep trying to decide if I need two so somebody snatch this up!

Basically, the P3AT might not be a reliable shooter directly out of the box. It requires some break in and polish. My P11 was this was to some extent. If the fit and finish was perfect, you couldn't get a revolutionary pistol for $240. Due to good experience I've had with Kel-Tec service, I'll be going with the P3AT, rather than the Ruger copy.

The difference in price can't be made up with the cost of gas to go get it, or I would already have it.

True, but then again I don't consider any firearm "reliable" until I have put 200 to 300 rounds through it.

BTW, the Ruger has had a lot of reports of problems as well.

I have had two P-3ATs and my brother has one. They all work fine and they gobble up 90gr. Gold Dots like nobody's business.

Agreed, I've had no problems with my p-11.
I carry mine regularly and would recommend them to anyone based on
my experience.

I just got back from Don's Gun's range with my P11. I like it but by God you better have a death grip on that baby or she'll FTF. Only had one FTE but that was wholey my fault because I anticipated the shot waaayyy too much! LOL Guess I need to get back shooting some more... Either way I had a lot of FTF due to limp wristing at first. It doesn't take but a little bit to limp wrist it so I was suprised since I had my wrist pretty well steady and locked. I did some weak hand shooting and made the mistake of misplacing my thumb... ouch. After about 60 rounds I got the hang of her and only had a couple FTF's. I was using Fiocchi FMJ, Winchester FMJ, and I let go of 10 of my Speer Gold Dot HPs. I had my FTE with the Gold Dots. Only one in ten and it was my fault.

Really good gun so I'm glad I invested in it.

Maybe limp wristing is the problem I've been having with my P11 lately.

Got it several months ago & only had a couple of problems with FTE. Then out of the blue on the last couple of range trips I've got 2-3 per mag. It looks like the extractor is slipping past the base of the cartridge. I thought I was having an extractor problem.

But now that I've seen this thread I realize that it could be me since I started getting a pretty good case of tennis elbow around then & that really affects your grip strength. I never put two & two together until now. Guess I have to try again before I blame the gun too much.

Othe than that I really like it. Perfect carry size & pretty accurate for a short barreled SD gun.
