I have one of the original Kel-tec P3AT's. From my understanding, the original Ruger LCP was an exact copy. I find my Kel-tec terrible to shoot. In my hand, I can only fit 1.5 fingers on the grip which leads to a lot of muzzle flip. I put on a magazine extension so that I could get two fingers on the grip, but it is still a handful.I would recommend an LCP 380. Just point and pull the trigger. Very little recoil.
Amen......that’s what the wife has, she does like my G43 so we may be owning another before long.I have one of the original Kel-tec P3AT's.

I would definitely put one in her hand before going that route. It's hard to shoot if you can't hold it.
I too owned a P3AT, and then I shot it. I'm anything but recoil shy, but that thing was nasty on my hand.I have one of the original Kel-tec P3AT's.

It gives the term “ pocket rocket” validation.I too owned a P3AT, and then I shot it. I'm anything but recoil shy, but that thing was nasty on my hand.
You seem to wear your feelings on your shoulder when anyone disagrees with you in the slightest way. You aren’t the only person on this forum that carries a gun daily.Its pretty obvious 90% of responses on this thread come from people who do not carry on a regular basis. Everyone likes the idea of it, but not the work it takes to actually do it. If you have ever seen me, then you have seen me carrying. My wife and daughters actually carry too. We makes smart decisions that make it easy to carry. If its easy, then you will do it. Its a commitment few are willing to make because they get a giant, heavy gun that is not practical. I did break my own advise and carried a 911. Yes it has a safety and prolly would have got me kilt. I went back to the LCP for the extra rounds I can carry. Plus the 911 jammed too much. Its sitting up on the top shelf by my recliner where I am sitting in right now. It was cooler than the cheap LCP, but it didnt perform like the LCP. The trigger was much better, but who cares about a trigger for a carry gun? Thats way down on the list of importance when shooting a target 10 feet away.
Ive never figured out how I get singled in a thread this size. I have a different opinion on most things because I see more than most. I see lots of people with stupid opinions that change them after spending a day or two with me. They just dont know they dont know. Just read what I say and if you dont agree just move on. Dont take it personal. I dont think I know it all, but Im willing to change things that dont work. Why not just read, think on it for a second, then take it or leave it. I really dont care either way.
Not at all, but when a mod comes on and basically calls me stupid, then I do get riled up. And it wasnt just a poke in my general direction, she said my name. I aint gonna lie, it pizzed me off.You seem to wear your feelings on your shoulder when anyone disagrees with you in the slightest way.

Ok, good deal. First issue is covered.I’m sorry it was meant to say “ with her lack of experience “ and we have a little boy and there is no doubt in my mind she would shoot someone to protect herself or him from danger
Going to give you the benefit of the doubt that this is sarcasm.You folks are ALL wrong. I’ve waited and waited for the correct answer and not ONE OF YOU has even come close. This was settled LOOOOOONG ago.....

My wife doesn’t carry, but my little sis carries one of these.Little sister don’t miss when she aims her gun.
Got the wife unit a hammerless airweight 38. It’ll shoot the +Ps…. Loves it. And after I saw how well she handled/shot it, I told the girlfriends to hit the bricks.
Are you kidding me?! I’ve seen that exact gun make some shots you WOULD. NOT. BELIEVE!! Headshots from hundreds of yards....Going to give you the benefit of the doubt that this is sarcasm.
Over the shoulder using a mirror, right?Are you kidding me?! I’ve seen that exact gun make some shots you WOULD. NOT. BELIEVE!! Headshots from hundreds of yards....
