I sent my P3AT back to Kel-Tec Monday. There was a stuck steel case in it and after I successfully pounded it out, nothing wanted to chamber in the gun!! I could not figure it out, sooooo back it went for rebirthing!!
Any ideas how long their turn around time is nowadays???

A couple of week is typical depending on how backed up they are. Repeat after me... NO STEEL CASED AMMO IN NON WARSAW PACT GUN!

Yeah, I know!!
I violated my own rule: Commie ammo for commie guns!!
How long they gunna keep my baby??? :?:

Couple of weeks if they aren't really backed up.

So, since I am new to this & just to make sure I don't use steel commie ammo........Wolff ammo uses a steel casing, correct? What about CCI Blazer?

 

[flyandscuba]

Blazer is aluminum cased and should be fine (except in the Sub2K).

Basic case "rules":

Brass -- soft = good
Blazer/Aluminum -- soft = ok
Wolf/steel -- hard = bad.....

very nice.....thanks.

does this hold true for any firearm? glocks, 1911s, etc? are the steel casings bad in those, as well?

Embarrassed as HELL!!!

My P3AT is back home and fine!!!
It was my own stupidity!!!
I violated rule 1.5 of gun handling!!!
My gunsmith called me back the next day and told me the reason my slide was jammed was because there was a .32ACP cartridge in the chamber!!!!

Since you bring it up, I really DO wish they'd mark the magazines (32 vs 380), only by counting holes can I tell them apart.
