Sold my LCP, bought another new P3AT

Great choice! Wouldn't mind having 2 of them myself.

 

I'm right there where you were... I have a P32 which I really like, but I'd made up my mind to get a LCP to replace it.

But... just within the last week, I started thinking maybe I should consider a P3AT instead. No particular reason.

One of the things I like about the P32 is that it appears to be the tool that it is. Nothing pretty, just takes care of its assigned task. I somehow feel that I would look at the LCP differently, because it is kinda' pretty... might be to protective of its appearance and not be able to just carry it and forget about it like I can my P32.

The price difference is negligible. New LCP's for $279 at my local gun shop, and the P3AT is only $20-$30 less.

 

Welcome back!  

P3AT... the gun to carry when you can't/won't carry something larger and a great BUG when you can/will.

 

Wise move to get the P3AT. The LCP I tried was worst .380 I've had.

While I am personally a HUGE Ruger fan, I honestly believe the LCP was nothing more than a futile attempt to piggy-back on the success of our lil ATs. It is probably the worst Ruger ever produced (assuming it actually IS a Ruger) [told you I was a Ruger fan ;-)] and I am including the ill-fated Bersa 380 (oh wait, that is not a Ruger either).

 

I sold my p3at and bought an lcp, hated the long trigger on the lcp and the grip, sold the lcp and bought a new p3at, had the lcp 3wks, very stupid move dont know why i got the lcp, also bought a new pf9 at the same time which i love, i now pocket carry the pf9 while i break in the new p3at....but may use the pf9 daily as a bu to my glock 23..dont get me wrong t5he lcp was a good shooter accurate and no ftfs....bad ergonomics....ill not make this mystake again...

 

I looked into the lcp a little bit before I got my p-3at. My good buddy is in law enforcement and has a kel tec .25 and recommended this brand to me so I decided to take the plung with the p-3at. So far I am happy with it.

 

WELL, I did the same thing. went from a KT to LCP and had FTE problems. Needless to say I 'm back to the P3AT. Very impressed with the KT

 

I'm surprised to hear so many of these stories. I guess you can hear any story you want to if given a large enough group of people. But seriously, the main draw to the LCP for me was the recessed mag release. In the end I'm still considering the P3AT more because of just about everything else!

Is the only reason to get the LCP the looks and the mag release?

 

I shot a friend's LCP and really didn't like it. He had purchased it to replace his AT that was stolen and still regrets it.

I have a P-3AT and have just recently aquired an LCP Model 3704 and I find not that bad of a pistol. The LCP has about the same recoil as the P-3AT, I find that I am more accurate at 7 yards with the LCP.

 

I prefer to own original Not a copy . I always wanted a Seecamp .Shot one . No longer wanted a Seecamp , recoil and weight . P-32 beats it hands down and cheaper. NAA 380 looses to the P3AT same reason . I have a Kahr ccw9mm . Bought a PF-9 slightly smaller and for some reason I just trust it more. Kahr has never given me a reason. Just a feeling . I shoot both and carry the PF go figure.

 

Is this a typo or did I miss this model completely?

 

You are just a few years late to the party. ( I would think he made a mistake but that was several years ago.)

 

Hey, it was fun to see my ~5 year old post to this thread.

 

Glad I read everybody's remarks on the LCP because I was thinking about buying an LCP just because I thought it appeared to be better quality, however my P3AT has never, ever had any issues at all with about 500 rounds of various ammunition. What was I thinking!!
