Posted this on another forum too...
Well, picked up a new P3AT and took it out today. No FTEs but a weird hammer issue.
My Dad was slowly creeping the trigger back, and it seemed to reset before doing a full hammer strike on the pin. Think of it like a decocker on a KelTec. I was able to recreate the problem as well. When slowly pulling it back, the hammer would come forward but not fire the round. No sign of a pin strike on the primer either.
I normally pull the trigger back to the "almost firing" position, then pull the trigger fully and it fires every time, but this kinda bugged me and my Dad was saying "I don't like that Kel Tec."
What is up with that? Send back to KelTec?
