Gun shop got it back today, but I'll go pick it up tomorrow, I have work to do tonight around the house. I actually purchased another P3AT during all of this (hard chrome, black frame gun), and it is flawless. A completely different gun to look at and shoot than the first. I posted the whole story in the other post "P3AT Not Firing Most Ammo" where you can see the problems I was having. If the gun is repaired and works like the new one. If not, it's gone. I trust the second one that I bought, just don't know yet about the first.
I understand that they offer a really good warranty, no one else in the business does. However, when I buy something, and spend a decent amount of money on it, I expect it to perform well. Not excellent, or extraordinary, but well. I know that the gun sat there for 9 weeks untouched until I started calling again, and sent some emails. Then all the sudden something happened. If they would've let me send the slide in and exchange it like I proposed in the first place, I could've been up and running alot sooner. It takes 15 seconds to swap slides.
The thing that really flusters me is that the hot weather carring season is nearing an end. Now that winter's coming I'll be able to conceal larger guns easier, and will probably leave the P3AT at home. The only reason that I got them was for the warm weather portion of the year, and that's passed without it. So it's gonna sit in the safe while my Glock 26 and Kahr PM9 get used in the winter months.
We'll see, if they fixed it and it functions, I will keep it. If not, I'll move on...
