My wife and I got to fire a PF9 and P3AT - our first time shooting the P3AT and her first time shooting ANY handgun. It was a blast.
We'd narrowed down to those two but couldn't decide which one we're going to get, so the chance to shoot them both was fantastic!
My wife shot the P3AT first and thought "This doesn't kick too bad!" I'd shot the PF9 before and told her I really liked it, so she figured it would be easier to shoot. When she went from the P3AT to the PF9 that sucker kicked a lot more. She hollered "Oh crap!" and laughed out loud. It was a good, fun time.
I was concerned that the lack of 'real' sites on the P3AT would be a problem, but the very brief outing we had gave me some assurance that we should be able to get proficient with it. We'll probably go the P3AT route - smaller, lighter; though the ammo is going to be harder to find (cringe). That is a fun gun - they both are!
