Hi,
This is my first post here, though I've lurked for a few weeks now. I posted this same question over on 24hourcampfire.com.
My buddy Mike has me itching for a new carry gun. I think I really want a Kel-Tec P3AT in hard chrome, but it's a hard decision between it and the PF-9. I like the 9mm cartridge better, but like the size of the 380 pistol. Here are my choices today:
1. Kel-Tec P3AT hard chrome P3AT from a buddy who has a gun shop when he can get them (6 months+) for $230
2. Kel-Tec P3AT Blued from another gun store, $260+Tax = $278.20
3. Kel-Tec hard chrome from a third gun store for $280+tax = $299.60
4. Kahr PM9 Stainless (used) 9mm - $400+tax = $424
5. Buy a P3AT 1st gen, used, blued from a private party for $240.
These are the 5 options that I have that are availiable to me.
Obviously I'd like #1 except for the 6month+ wait. I'm afraid of rusting a blued gun, hence the reason for wanting chrome. The Kahr seems like a better deal but isn't as small as the Kel-tec.
What would you do?
