Greetings, all,
I just sold my "other brand copy" and bought my first P3AT, although I have two P-11s. My question, for which I was unable to find an answer using the search, is simply: How long ago did they start using the "pressed-in ejector" that is not prone to falling out upon disassembly? I was not aware of this until reading about it here. I'm at work and unable to play with the piece; bought it on my lunch break. I had the guy at the store show me how to disassemble one and nothing fell out that I saw. I did notice that he used a small straight-slot screwdriver to pull the pin rather than a piece of fired brass. It doesn't look to me like a cartridge rim will fit in there...will it? I wish I could get out of here early and try these things out myself. The day has really started dragging now; you know how it is to have a new toy and not be allowed to play with it, no?
Thanks in advance for any input.
