Pros: easily carried in light attire
Cons: slide doesn't lock back on final round

Purchased in Spring 08, and the +1 mag extensions are very helpful.


Reliable with FMJ, JHP's of various brands, after a 3 box break in. Very reliable.


Had to sand the inside of trigger guard as the seam was prominent. Slight fluff & buff of the slide, barrel, and feed ramp.


Customer service and warranty are great. You get a real person and fast service.

Pros: Light and small
Cons: minimal stopping power

I have owned two and found both reliable and quite handy to carry on shorts/T-shirt days. Silvertips recoil is not unpleasant and the factory grip clip makes it easy to slip IWB W/O holster. Great back-up gun for duty carry and approved by most police departments in this area. Proven design continues to work with normal cleaning and lube.

Pros: Light weight, small package and reliable
Cons: None

Purchased about 4 months ago and now have 500 rounds down range with it. Variety of FMJ's and HP's. Have not had a single failure to feed or extract. Weapon has performed flawlessly. Working on finding a good carry holster but currently carry in pocket effectively.

Pros: The size of this gun is its biggest advantage.
Cons:

I love this gun. Its size is the perfect match to the cartridge. It disappears in the pocket with a quality pocket holster. It was reliable right out of the box with no additional work except cleaning and lubing before going to the range. The P3AT is the ultimate summer gun that is easily carried in almost any summer attire. It's accurate to boot.

Pros: Light weight, true pocket pistol, crisp trigger.
Cons: No slide lock! Ejector easily falls out when cleaning.

I just bought the "Freedom" limited edition model that has chromed parts and Crimson Trace laser. I've had 3 misfeeds with my first 100 rounds (Federal FMJ brass target ammo), but totally expected for the break-in period. Since getting use to the pistol's little idiosyncrasies -- no slide lock, and ejector that's made to easily come out of place when the weapon is disassembled -- I really have no complaints. Yes, the mechanics are very simplistic and "seems" show here and there. But this gun is what it is, and it works remarkably well. Has a smooth trigger pull and the laser has both windage and elevation adjustments. There are no safeties but the trigger pull requires enough effort and distance to be a safety measure in my opinion.
I dont use the belt clip. I have a Galco pocket protector holser that works great with dress pants or Dockers, or just slip it into my coat or jean pocket.
