Just curious has anyone actually shot one of these:

If so I would love to see a review on it.

Thanks,

I haven't, but I'd like to. It looks virtually identical to the KelTec P-3AT. More than that, it is the same design. I'm sort of assuming that Ruger licensed the design from KelTec. If not, then I would have to guess that KelTec neglected to patent that design, which I doubt.

Here is a review:

He says that the gun is 100% reliable but they only shot round nose ammo in it. I would have liked to see them run some hollowpoints through it.

I got to shoot one.

Kicks a bit hard for the size, and has a long less than great trigger pull, but not bad. (Only got to put 1 clip through it). Its too small to be fun to shoot, but I like the feel better than the keltec. My buddy put 50 rounds through it and it FTF once (2nd round fired) but we think it was the round and not the gun. It feels a bit thicker than the keltec, but we couldn't compare side by side so it may not be. I didn't do to hot when it came to hitting the black, but if it had been a person they would have been stopped (12 yards)

Thanks, I might have to look at picking one up. However, I have decided my next gun purchase is going to be an AR-15. I think Rock River but I am not totally sure yet.

I wouldn't mind getting one, but I still flinch at the price. I am hoping it will drop in the next year or so.

I just went out and shot my new LCP last weekend. The only complaint is that due to the very short grip it was hard for me to keep even my ring finger on the grip. I hope that someone will bring out a grip/magazine extension for it soon. With an extra finger on the grip it would be very manageable. I put 100 rounds through it and had no complaints, recoil was not bad at all.

I once posted how to add a finger rest extension to the Kel-Tec P-3AT, but since that was in response to another topic in that thread, I decided to start a separate thread on this: How to add the NAA finger rest extension to a Kel-Tec P-3AT.

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.

I have a colt SP1, and a bushmaster

I like both but I want to put a light weight trigger in the bushmaster, the colt already has one. I also just bought a "gat trigger" :gun1:

I have put about 300 round through my LCP thus far. Zero problems. It does kick but not execively and can be controlled fairly easy. My 27 year old daughter shot it the other day and liked it. She could hit a can at 15 yards, and did better shooting single handed. With the the ease of carry and the reliability so far I would recommend it.

Kahr 9 and then AR-15 for me.
