Hello gents,
Last weekend Mrs. Santa picked out a P3AT for my Christmas present. I wanted one with a “green” frame – it will be a little sister to my PF-9 green frame – due to the fact I have P-32 in a black frame. Green vs. black – will be easy to know just by the color which one I’m picking up. I’ve carried my P-32 for the past couple years as my BUG and it’s been 100% reliable in almost 800 rounds. Wanted the P3AT for a little more “punch” if you know what I mean. Well, since I was heading to the range today, Mrs. Santa said I could take along the P3AT, as long as I cleaned it up and gave it back to her – so she could wrap it up and place it under the tree. Cleaned the pistol and lubed it with Tetra Gun Grease. Tetra seems to stay in place longer than most gun oils, and I’ve always had very good luck with it. At the range I went thru 25 rounds of Remington Golden Saber, 50 rounds of Prvi 95 grain ball, 100 rounds of my Sierra 90 grain HP handloads, and 50 rounds for Silver Bear nickel-plated steel case HP’s – 225 rounds total. Please to report the pistol had ZERO malfunctions ! ! Fired strong hand, weak hand, and two handed – ZERO malfunctions ! Not a target pistol, so all rounds were fired at an eight inch target at 5 to 12 yards. All rounds were in the target. More recoil than the P-32, but nothing that can not be handled. Pretty boring range report, but I’m really going to enjoy my new BUG. . . .

| I really should get a p3at. I use to own a p11 which turned me off a little. Terrible recoil, it did jam on me once in awhile mainly with hollow points likely because of the steeper feed ramp, but it was a decent handgun. I mean, it wasn't a raging piece of shit or anything...just not my flavor and it didn't really fill a role for me. The p3at however would make a very affordable and hopefully reliable pocket gun. Just my .02. |
