Hello everybody, Just picked up my first kel tec, I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but i have cleaned the packing goop out and ran a few clips through it manually. I really hope this works out, i love the size and weight of the p3at.

Otherwise, the pin may pull the spring that it engages out of place and cause the grip to bow out in that area. Then you will have issues keeping the pin in place.
+1 exactly what i did. Can't wait to try it out again, i have 150 more round to put through it, and they need to be flawless, or darn near it before i will carry it.JFB said:Getting here late...
I think the pin problem was the thickness of the grip polymer stoped the head and prevents the groove from going past the hair pin spring. Removing a little of the polymer from around the hole will let the groove go past and the hair pin snap and hold it.
I would want to remove enough polymer so that the pin moves in and out with finger force about 0.010". That give a little over travel when snapping the pin in.
