I was hoping to hear positive news about a new slide coming out of kt. A lot of people on this forum are convinced that kt resolved the peening slide issue. I don't believe it for a minute. You really shouldn't use the washer according to kt. I would shoot it and send it back if it peens. I have 200 rounds through my third slide and it is beginning to peen. I just use it for carry now and do not shoot it anymore. When kt gets the slides right, I will send mine back for replacement.
Got my replacement slide today

Got the replacement... Guide rod hole looks real thin, just like the last one. I will use the washer because I don't want to risk it, and it acts as a recoil buffer (IMHO). KT sent a note saying they don't recommend using Blazer Ammo (I assume because of chamber and extraction wear) I stripped the old one and the one they sent had everything on it so now I have a few spare parts. KT even sent a new guide rod and springs.

barnettbill, at this point, i think it is whatever they have laying around...
pf-9's with p-11 barrels, again
slides that still have issues.
i just do not know any more. i know they will pry the remaining 380's I have from me under death....they are not going back under any circumstances. that is why I got rid of my last 2.

No practice with a defensive firearm is really bad news IMO.
Like rj mine won't be returned either.
KT s position on the slide peening issue behooves me.
The P-3AT is a nice little gun.
Wouldn`t it be more cost effective to ream the guide rod spring area a leave more metal in that area for strength, than deal with returned slides?.
???

I believe that would be the answer to the peening issue but I don't know for sure! K-T has to aware of it and hopefully is in the process of a fix... :-/
I've had plenty of practice as kt had to replace my first P3-AT which I put about 300-400 rounds through it. My second one has 200 rounds through it and i consider it broken in.Rubb said:No practice with a defensive firearm is really bad news IMO.

I should have said "regular practice" not a slam to you Vette.
You should not fear shooting your guns for fear of them breaking down when needed.....
No problem Rubb. You are right about regular practice. I may shoot a couple of mags through my p3at when I take my PX4 to the range. Don't want to ruin my p3at that is broken in and working fine.Rubb said:

Gee Bill
Seems like we just can't catch a break with these new slides coming in. I'll be curious to know how the JFB Washer Mod holds up with a new thin slide. Keep us posted. :
