You take anything, and there is a bell curve. Most adult males are 200 lbs., alot are 180 and 220, a few are 120 and 400, one or two are 87 and 870. (note, I just pulled those numbers out of the air). The p3at is way out on the end of the bell curve. Everything is oriented to size and wieght. A nice double stack 14 round mag with auto slide lock and a 5 inch barrel would be nice, but it would not be a p3. I have a suspicion that a lot of the FTF's in the first 50 rounds are opperator errors. They are tought to hold on to. As you get to know the gun and either love it for what it is, or hate it for what it is not, I think the problem will go away. I would not add a larger grip to keep pocket size down, but that is just me. I am thinking of a finger extention on the mag. I would recommend a few more rounds before you start changeing things. YMMV. Oh, and welcome to the board. Do a search on "how to grip" and you can find some good threads. I cock (ha) my middle and ring finger up towards my thumb and really give it a death grip and that helps alot. have fun, be safe, let us know what you find. Lop
