Suburban reviews the Kel-Tec P-3AT pistol
The Good:
The little Kel-Tecs are very easy to conceal, with very little weight or bulk. They are also very inexpensive.The Bad and Ugly:
On the 2nd or 3rd round fired, the little bracket that the guide rod slides through fell out and disappeared. I’m told that Kel-Tec now makes slides without this piece, the bracket is a part of the slide, rather than a separate part.

Guns and Ammo have a review here.
I ran a couple of different types of ammo through the pistol, shooting as fast as I could recover. There is a distinct upward flip to the muzzle. You have to accept this in an auto so light, particularly when most of the weight is in the top half. Still, it was possible to keep six fast shots in a vital zone, and that is all the P-3AT is meant to do. In my hands, the pistol delivered the first shot about eight inches low and left of the remaining five. There were no malfunctions.
Hi, welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. I hope you enjoy it.
i think most all problems with this gun could be solved if folks were sold the dpx corbon 80 grn ammo that was developed fo the gun..
its definitly not gonna operate smoothly on some of the .380 protection rnds .. so use what the gun calls for and you have an dependable hard hitting little ccw.. its not the only ammo the gun will feed smoothly but
mine always feeds that ammo smooth as any gun i have..
