range report

[steve]

went out last sunday with a couple friends. Put 250 rounds through the p3at without even a cleaning. Used walmart white box. 2 fail to fire (ammo) and 3 fail to eject. ( new shooter all 3 times on the fte) I have close to 2800 rnds through this gun now and it shows almost no internal wear.

just out of curiosity, are you still using the original springs and guide rod?

[steve]

springs were just replaced by kel tec about 400 rnds ago

Do you still carry that old timer (2800 rounds)?? You may be one shot away from total failure.

A trollish statement if I ever saw one.

But not without proof. I like everyone to know that a really like my p3s(I have 3 of them). My first p3 worked well out of the box(HR serial #). I F & B it around 500 rounds. After 1500 round I stop carring it. I had bought a new one and it was F & B and broke in and I started carring it. Why carry and old gun when you have a newer one? The first gun after 1500 rounds I only used target ammo(why test premium ammo in a gun you won't carry?). I went upto 3000 round or so and said this gun is still working fine. Lets see how long it can go. Next time at the range on my last few round of a box of 50(Z&B ammo) the gun had a barrel ruptor. Now in its earily life this gun saw 100 power ball,100 federal hydra-shok and 100 or premium ammo including +p ammo. I considered this a good life for a p3. Kel-tec was real good and replace the gun. They never even called me an asked me what I did to it. I'am on my third p3 which has about 800 rounds through it. As a precation I bought 2 spare barrels for it. The salesmen was anoid at this at first until I told him I had one blow up on me. The barrel from that gun I switch back and for with my second gun with is now a target gun. The gun kel-tec sent me back is still brand new in the box. May when my current gun get a little older I break that one in.

It make me really happy to have a new barrel on the gun I carry. Especially when I carry it with 2 or 3 power ball as the first rounds.

I would tell anybody that carries this gun to invest the $90 in a new barrel for carring.

For those who have to know the only injury I had was a small burn on my finger. hot gas must of come out of the trigger port.

Read the graphic attachment rules... and tread lightly. You still seems like a troll in waiting.

nah midi, ikebikel aint a troll, he's just a guy that hasn't started his classes on "english as a second language" yet.

I'm not Midi, but I want to jump in here and ask a question or two.

1. What age group are you in?

2. How much experience do you have participating in internet web sites?

The answers to these two questions could explain a lot.

never mind answering question #1 as I went back and read your previous posts - "over 50" answered that one.

Although question 2 still stands, I can guess the answer to be in the range of "limited". So, to not detract from the P3AT forum with non-P3AT jibberish, we ought to continue this in another forum, like the Lounge tonight.
