There must be some design flaw or defect with the 2nd generation P3AT. Enough with the limp wrist talk or finding the right ammo to your gun. There is plenty of evidence on the web and even acknowledgement from KT tech support of this issue. I strongly advise you to avoid this unreliable pistol until this issue is corrected.
For the record, KT customer service is great. I purchased my P3AT is 08 with the FTE issue and returned it for service. Then after trying many different types of ammo, verifying that I’m not “limp wristing” and doing the fluff/buff, I returned it again this year in March. I requested a fix or replacement and KT CS responded quickly with a replacement. Again, great CS.
Got the new gun, did the fluff/buff and went to the range with factory Remington plus Federal. Shot 100 rounds FMJ plus 13 JHP I would use for carry. Had 20 FTEs out of the 113 rounds. Called KT CS who were very cooperative, acknowledge they are hearing more and more complaints of this issue and are mailing me a new extractor.
While waiting and researching I came to a thread explaining an extractor mod to address this FTE issue which I did. Went back to the range with more Remington FMJ and Federal JHP. Had 16 FTE out of 100 rounds.
Below are some pics from my pistol and a video link on YouTube showing the exact issue I and everyone else is talking about.
Until this issue is corrected, avoid the 2nd generation P3AT.
