I just got my KT p3at. Love it so far. But I'm unclear about one thing: I thought the p3at had a slide hold-open feature? Is that just the p32? Sorry for the noob question. I did run a search for "slide hold open" got pretty much nothing (for those that care about searching first). Thanks for the help. joe
Not a problem. This is going to take some getting used to, though... I've never owned a pistol without this function. It was quite difficult to take it down and to hold the slide open while I checked the bore (in the store). At any rate, I really like this new little BUG. I can't wait to get out and shoot it. joe
Hi Joe. Welcome to KTOG! What? The P3AT DOESN'T have a slide lock/RELEASE? These two do! http://www.ktog.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1169974990 http://www.ktog.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1170309756 If I was running KT, The P3AT would soon come equipped with a Slide lock/release. This would be a great competitive move against the new Largely Copied Pistol from Ruger Knock Offs. KT could do this very easily with almost stock parts. Packer.
Thanks Packer! I've been thinking about attacking this mod myself and now I see exactly what's involved. It's a tad bit beyond the capabilities of the equipment I have in my shop at the moment but I definitely see what's involved now. KT needs to make you an honorary gunsmith and put you on the review board for all future designs.
Thanks db! I'd settle for getting one of the new SG P-11s, which I'm beginning to believe I invented before THEY thought of it. Actually, with a milling machine, this would be an easy mod. I did it with a Dremel and files to see if ANYBODY could do it. It IS possible. All you need to do is find one of those Wilson $100 specials to do it to without much risk. Packer.
You have so many excellent ideas that actually work! You should be in business doing this stuff. Oh, I forgot, you are already independently wealthy
Thanks wheelguy! If only it were so. The way I've been spending thousands for shop construction & machinery lately, I wish I were. But alas, I'm only reaping the benefit of a good credit rating. SOMEDAY I will have to pay the piper--But not today. I would LIKE to offer this (slide lock) mod as a kit, requiring only a drilled hole in frame and a filed notch in the slide, (both from a stick-on template) but the lowest I could get the price is $100 including a brand new grip. I doubt anybody would want to buy it at that price. Packer.
Wow, I had no idea - you totally rock, dude You're sure right about $100 being the wrong price point for that mod. $30 - ok, but I wouldn't have a clue as to how to make that happen.
