Hi everyone,
Great site! I've learned a lot already. I recently bought my p3at with the hard chrome slide and instantly fell in love with it. I got it out to the range yesterday for the first time and put 100 rounds of Prvi Partizan through it. There hasn't been much availability of .380 ammo in my area and the Prvi was $25 per box of 50!
Prior to going to the range I field stripped the pistol and did a light clean and lube. I had read that the recoil of the p3aT was snappy and I think that is a very good description. Not bad, but snappy. I was very impressed with the accuracy of the pistol even out to 25 yards. I did have 2 failures to cycle out of the 100 rounds I shot. Both times the new round got hung up on the feed ramp and when I gave the slide a little nudge, it went into battery and functioned perfectly. Should I polish the feed ramp and do a F&B or will this work itself out during the break in process? I am really not all that handy and I'm always a bit reluctant to tweek my firearms.
I purchased a smartcarry holster in extra small for the p3at and I am REALLY impressed with this version of deep concealment. It is virtually undetectable and very comfortable.
Overall I'm very happy with the pistol.
Thanks for a great site!
