P3AT History Report
« on: February 04, 2010, 03:11:07 PM »
Ok, how many of you have a gen 1 P3AT, like mine, that has never give any trouble? The only problem I have had was the mag catch. I may be seeing a smiley issue, but do not shoot it enough to know yet.

Mine has good. Had a few feeding problems originally, but worked themselves out. I've had mine since Sept. '03, so it has been around for awhile.

greenjeans, any smileys? I think I may even have a damaged mag from it.

I've had mine over two years without any feeding or shooting.  I did feed it only FMJ bullets for the first 200 or so "firings" to "slick-it-up" before shooting the HP stuff!

 Mine has been plugging along reliably for years. I've shot well over a thousand cast bullet reloads and quite a few hundred rounds of hardball to boot. The only ammo I've had trouble with is the Winchester white box with a flat point. It would set the bullets back too far and I had a few issues with split cases from (I'm guessing) overpressure. My favorite ammo is the Sellier&Bellot fmj.
