would anybody admit

[marcinstl]

to owning and carrying a Kel-tec P3at?

[b4uqzme]

don't have to.

[DeaconKC]

I carry a PF9 all the time.

[swampman]

I admit to it.I have a first generation P3AT,It's about fifteen yrs. old.I sometimes carry it as a BUG. Forgive me Bawanna for I have sinned.

[Redstate]

Absolutely would admit carrying a P3AT, and proud of it. Great tiny pistol for when I need to carry something really small or highly concealable. Have had mine for about 10 years and have even used it in informal IDPA bug matches.

[jeepster09]

I had one, good guns.

[pbagley]

I would if I had one. Crazy prices locally - it's cheaper to get a TCP, and sometimes you find a LCP for less as well.

[marcinstl]

thinking about a tiny gun for when the CM9 just seems to big and heavy (t-shirt pocket or tucked in the waist band of boxer shorts or Speedo's- hehehehehe). the LCP and the P3AT are the same gun, maybe the Ruger is finished better? I don't care about looks, hopefully nobody will ever know I have it. don't need sights, gun will never be shot 2 handed or aimed at a bullseye. (I watched some reviews on youtube and everybody was shooting 2 handed and trying to look tacticool---- not what a .380 is about.) P3AT is 11.5 oz. loaded, 3 whole ounces lighter than a CW380, 8 oz. lighter than the CM9. thanks.

I had a P3AT years ago, and sure, it was fine as a belly gun. Until the retaining pin started walking out after a few rounds, piece of tape fixed that. Then I tried to get good with it and just gave up. The trigger slap was an issue for me, and the tape on the side holding the take down pin in. Gave up on the micro .380s until last year. Got to help a friend get a used P380 up and running. Now I have a CW380. For three ounces, you get a gun you can practice with (no trigger slap, surprisingly light recoil...), has actual sights that you can swap out should you want to, and you have the same trigger as your other Kahrs for consistency with your carry.... I will trade that for the three ounces over the LCP/P3AT... If I need lighter, I would go to a P32 and get an extra round to boot, for a two ounce savings over the LCP/P3AT... Just my opinion though. They are fine guns if that is what you have...

My wife carries one, was my backup. Got a p380 for her but it became my backup because she prefers the Kel-tec.

[TheLastDaze]

If I had one I'd admit it no doubt.... I bought an LCP years ago for about same price, I liked Rugers finish much better... I carry the LCP everyday unless Im carrying skmething bigger... a good reliable pocket gun cant be beat... my elsie weights 8.8oz with empty mag

New LCP has better trigger and sites but Im really used to mine and the longer pull is a nonissue for me.. very accurate

I had a 1st generation P3AT - had a tough time getting it to run right, but traded it for my CW45 a couple years ago. Never have had any problems with my LCP (which is a better made pistol than the KT).

Still have my 1st generation 32 which has been a sweet little shooter, but it is a safe queen.

[O'Dell]

My son gave me an LCP for Christmas three years ago, so since it was a gift, I've kept it. I have been known to carry it on occasion, but as has been noted , the trigger is terrible and it has no sights to speak of. I almost ran it through the washer once because I forgot it was in my pants pocket. I suppose if the bad guy was within ten feet or so it might annoy him enough to leave. It's certainly more convenient to carry than a bunch of rocks, and is probably almost as effective.

[Longitude Zero]

Give the SCY CPX-2 a try. I have read some positive reviews.

[JohnR]

I had an LCP for a while, and sold it. I am currently planning to get a new LCP, which has a better trigger and sights. And I'll admit to carrying it.
