Just recieved my new p3at a couple days ago. Went to the range after reading the owners manual and wanted to blow through my first 50-100 rounds to make sure that it is ready to go.
I had two different types of ammo with me. 100 rounds of PMC Bronze and 100 rounds of Fiocchi. (It was the only available to buy.) In the first 50 rounds of Fiocchi I had 5 failures to fire. Went on to the PMC and had another 6 that failed to fire. Went back to another 50 rounds of Fiocchi and had one in every clip I loaded end up not firing.
After inspecting the failed ammo I noticed that only a few (about 5-7) actually had firing pin strikes and the rest had no marks at all. Was going to reload them in the magazine but realized that I was getting pressed for time at the rage. >
Hoping that the field strip and cleaning I performed will do the trick. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I love the little gun! When it did fire I was right on target up to about 20 feet, then my accuracy started to suffer. But it will certainly do the job for wich it was intended. Just hope that I don't have to send it back to them already.
