Here's a trick for the Kel-Tec P-3AT which helped me a lot with my grip. The North American Arms (NAA) Guardian finger rest extension can be easily adapted for the Kel-Tec P-32 or P-3AT magazines. I've done this with mine and it helps me solidify my grip. Check out the instructions for doing this in the following article:
Adding an NAA Guardian finger rest to a P32

You can purchase the finger extension base plates directly from NAA online.
Look down the page for where it says, "Two Finger Extension Base Plates for all Guardian magazines: $10.00".

I haven't tried this on the Ruger LCP (I don't own one), but I'd be surprised if it didn't work, since the Ruger looks identical to the Kel-Tec.

Yep. It wasn't hard.
Long after I had found that site and followed the directions on my own P-3AT, I actually met the guy who wrote that.
He turned out to be the son of my father's first cousin. Small world...

FYI, that makes him your second cousin.

Thanks for clearing that relation thing up... I was trying to do the "family math" in my head :lol2:

May I assume this extension can be added to the KT P32?

If you'll notice, the article is actually about adding the extension to a P32.
It just so happens that the same instructions work on the P-3AT (which I have) and so posted it that way...

I obviously didn't notice, hence the question. Thanks for the help.

I've ordered the grip extention base plate from NAA. When it arrives I will see how it works and post the results.

I ordered the extensions and following the instructions, installed them. I really like how it feels. I haven't shot it yet but I when I do, I will post more.

Now for the bad news. I have two magazines so I ordered two packages. I didn't read the fine print. :bang: There are two per package. :bang2: So now I have four. I can only use two. You will find a new posting in the "For Sale" section of this forum for those extra two. :dunno:

I will make the suggestion that while you have the magazine apart, blow it out with some canned air.

Here is an update! The extension that I recieved from NAA went right on, without any modifications needed at all. as you can see from the picture it leaves a little gap, but doesn't seem to be an issue. Much better control and ease gripping the LCP. 8)

That's the first case I know of where this extension was used on the Ruger LCP. Great!

Hey Jeff, Thanks again for the information, what a difference it made.
