I've been looking all over for a serial number/manufacture date list and cannot find one. Any help from you guys would be great. The serial number is JJE##. Also are there any known/suspected problems from batch that mine came from?
Assuming HRA00 and J7C00 were produced on the same day 12 months apart (highly unlikely), there were approximately 54,000 P-3ATs produced. Since the manufacture of J7C00 until JJE00 was made there were approximately 38,000 units produced.JFB said:Here are some P3AT serial #s and date purchased
Well maybe not the same DAY exactly one year apart, but assuming 1000/week that is pretty close.Wilson said:Assuming HRA00 and J7C00 were produced on the same day 12 months apart (highly unlikely), there were approximately 54,000 P-3ATs produced.

I called the number today, and the very nice Lady from KelTec, to whom I spoke, was very happy to tell me the exact day that my P3AT was made! Give that number a try, and you will find what you seek. Take care, and God Bless!
Every Good Wish,
Doc Mark

Hey, JFB,JFB said:Anybody got JFBxx ;D
First 3 of my serial #JDD...could you tell me approximately when mine was made? I got very confused when reading this thread? :-?JFB said:JCQ00-J7C00= 18,200.
19 weeks from JAN would be MAY, so SWAG is a little off
Thanks for the help...I actually emailed Kel-Tec and they gave me a production date of June 7, 2007 for my p3at, serial #JDDxx.JFB said:KT serial # math, Lesson 1
First, convert the KT alphanumeric 34base to standard 10base number. The 34base is detailed in THIS past post
the Janurary pistol J7C00 converts as
7 X 3400 + 12 X 100 + 0 = 25,000
Your pistol JDD00 converts as
13 X 3400 + 13 X 100 + 0 = 45,500
thus there were 20,500 made since J7C00.
ASSUMING production of 1,000 a week, that would be 20 1/2 weeks
Now using a calender, count weeks from mid January to late MAY
Another Calculation would be
Using the May 15th pistol JCQ00 whick converts as
12 X 3400 + 24 X 100 + 0 = 43,200
thus there were 2,300 made since JCQ00 or about 2 weeks 2 days,
thus May 30 to possible June 1
Simple
Now, the ones made around JES00 might have tomato stains, I wonder if those are the ones that were missing ejectors ;D

Those oversized PF-9s are elbowing sweet little P-3ATs out of the production lineJFB said:P3AT Production is down to 680/week :'(
Wow! Looks like my just-acquired P3AT (ordered a week ago, received on Saturday, serial # JK9xx) is truly hot off the presses! All of this implies that it was probably manufactured within the last 30 days. ;DMy KelTec P3AT, serial # "JCQxx", was made on May 15, 2007.
June 7, 2007 for... #JDDxx.
JEWxx... was made in July
