Question, for anyone,or at least anyone who has shot a KEL TEK P3AT. I got one back in Nov. and so far have only been to the range once with it. Maybe my expectations were a little high in shooting a decent tight pattern, but it was so sporadic, it was pitiful. My Bersa .380 is not too bad. Maybe I just need more practice, cause I'm talking a probably a 8 to 10 in. spread at least. Any thoughts on those laser sights that on the bottom in front of the trigger guard. Not that I could afford one, probably wouldn't fit in my paddle holster anyway. |

That little Kel Tec is what we call a "Doctors Gun", eyes, ears, nose and throat. It's not for target shooting, it's made for sticking in someones' gut and emptying the magazine. __________________

I have a P3AT and it shoots exactly like is should, it fires until the ammo is gone. You can't ask for much more that that. __________________ *** Don't Mess With TEXAS *** Μολὼν λάβε | |

'preciate the responses you guys. Yea, one thing about this little guy, was that every shot fired off without a hitch. | |

Little story about the baby Kel-Tecs.
Several years ago I took a pile of handguns out for a bit of
point shooting. 15 guns, from J frames to a 1862 Navy.
Revolvers, autoloaders, some of everything.
Target was a paper plate at chest height, range 15 ft.
Drill was draw, point and pull. No aiming, firing from a
mid chest level looking over the top of the gun.
Kel-Tec P32 was the ONLY gun that put them ALL on
paper, every time. YMMV | |

The trigger is so rough, this is probably a contributing factor... | |

More of us should be practicing like this. 99% of personal defense reaction will require this style of shooting.
If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly. __________________ .
