I just purchased a used P-3AT second generation. I field stripped the gun and did a little fluff & buff work on it, and cleaned it up well. I was able to remove the extractor and firing pin and spring and clean those up as well. What I cannot seem to figure out is the proper size hex to use to remove the belt clip. I want to remove it so that I can rebend it to make it tight again. I may decide to remove it altogether if it won't fit into a pocket holster with the clip on. Thanks in advance for any help.
Welcome to KTOG. I found the clip I got with mine (still in the bag). There was an allen "L" with it that I poked through the plastic and measured to be 0.062" across the flats. Thus it should be a 1/16". I think a 1.5mm would be slightly less like 0.059" across the flats and KT seems to be imperial
Thanks! I tried a 1.5mm and it was a little too small. I'm pretty sure I had a metric (2mm?) which fit the "frankenbolt" perfectly. I'll have to track down a 1/16.
Yea, I forgot to mention, the franken bolt is really a 5/64" allen key (0.078[sup]1[/sup]", BUT a 2mm allen key fits better (0.078[sup]7[/sup]"
Aha, that explains why I became convinced the Kel-Tec fasteners were metric. The 2mm seemed to work perfectly on the franken bolt. Thanks for the quick reply, this forum seems to be an awesome resource.
When I first looked at it I thought it was a torx but a closer look with my glasses on proved to be an allen and 2 mm is the perfect fit. One tun out, one drop of loc-tite blue and one good turn in and that's it.
