Just an F.Y.I.---P3-AT magazine extensions

Thanks Bob! I just ordered two +1 extensions. Thought I'd give them a try.

Appreciate ya'!

 

I had bought some and they sucked.They kept popping off so I returned them.This was like 2 years ago though.....

 

They don't slide on like all of the other base-plates?

 

I just got the finger extension from KT direct last week. It works fine, not popping off anywhere.
HOWEVER, it does snag the pocket, and adds size and prints, so everyday I look at it and think the old flat one is going back on.
Helps shooting it, but I won't be target shooting it, so what I need it for 99% of the time is concealibity and It doesn't help in that department.

 

Very good point! I really like the look of the Bersa base plate but it does impede conceal-ability and causes more of a print. It may be helpful at the range but in my pocket I like it to be smaller.

As a side note, I added a bicycle tube grip with some rubber tubing on the backstrap then covered all of that with a Houge Handall Jr. grip. Feels great, looks great, and works great at the range...but the rubber grabs my clothing during practice draws from my pocket.

There is a trade off for everything. :-/

I just ordered a grip extension and an extra mag yesterday, so that will put them getting to me around the end of the week. The grip extensions work great on the p11 so I'm anxious to see how it's going to be with the p3at. I'm thinking it might make pocket carry a little rough but I only carry that way when I have to tuck in my shirt.

 

My carry magazines are all +1 extensions. I like them better than any finger extensions and because they are even slimmer than the grip they don't add to printing at all, at least not in the way that I carry. And you do get the added benefit of a place to put another finger.

Wifey, on the other hand, thinks they make her weapon "bigger" so she doesn't like them as much and just carries plain old jane magazines.

I took mine off for good last night. Hard decision, the extension looks cool, adds comfort and control. But the extra 3/4 inch was making it similar to a bersa in size.
Now it's back to being a little pocket gun which is why I bought it. Feel much better. Haha.

 

Drove to Kel-Tec today and picked up 2ea of the +1 mag extentions ,still have them in stock...

ttt.

I thought that I had read about getting different magazines from different vendors.. what works and what doesnt? I went to the Kel Tec website and was about to order but wanted to see if there were some other good options as well..

I just purchased a +1 extension for my P-3AT from Kel-Tec. I am very unhappy with it. First, the little tinny plate would not seat in the base plate correctly. I had to file it a bit to get it to go. Additionally, the spring catches somewhere and does not fully compress, so I could barely get the 7th round into it, and then I could not load the mag into the firearm. If I fiddle with it and apply a LOT (too much IMO) of pressure on the top round, I can get the spring to SNAP free, and then the mag will go into the firearm. But then the little tin that is bent at 90 degrees catches on the bottom of the grip and it takes some fiddling to get the mag in. All I can say is I would NEVER trust my life with something so unreliable. I just wasted my money and am going back to 6 rounds. I know I'm the new guy here so I have no credibility, but I'm asking for help. Will Kel-Tec be cool and take it back?
