Kel-Tec P3AT - A simple "Yes" or "No"

Slow_Hand
If you would, please vote simply YES or NO on the Kel-Tec as far as....

RELIABILITY ~ YES? NO?

DURABILITY ~ YES? NO?

RECOIL ~ YES? NO?

SERVICEABILITY ~ YES? NO?

I'm seriously considering buying one in lieu of a few other .32/.380 pocket guns and I'd welcome your votes. Thanks!

BTW, I had the Kel-Tec P32 and had so much trouble with it that I traded in the new replacement they shipped me in exchange for the non-functioning boat anchor I had originally purchased.

    A definite YES for the P-3AT for me!!

    Also put me in for a YES on the Kel-Tec P-40 the .40 cal. semi auto that only weighs a little over 15 ounces.

    I've never had a malfunction of any kind with either of these two guns and for no more money than they cost that's amazing!

    I carry the P-3AT with me all the time no matter what other gun I may be carrying. At 7.2 ounces for this 1st generation model you'll not find another gun made with this big of caliber in a semi auto that weighs less!

    Maybe

    Actually, I have the P-32. I had some ftf's when I first got it and didn't like the trigger pull but I sent it back to Kel-Tec and they polished the ramp, reduced the trigger pull and fine-tuned it for me, all at no charge. They have great service and you can call the gunsmith directly.

    Yes to all of the above. My experience is limited to the 1 I own, and I have nothing bad to say about it.
