Ruger LCP .380 - Guns and Weapons

JohnnyBmore · 09-28-2008, 02:37 AM

Anyone pcik one of these up or the Kel -tec P3AT ??? How do you like it ???

johnnyharris · 09-28-2008, 09:43 AM

I occassionally carry a p3at on a clipdraw in the summer months. They're reasonably accurate for only having trench sights, light and easy to hide but they are not meant for range duty. I only shoot mine 3-4 times a year just to make sure it works as it should. 20-30 rounds at a time is enough for me-the recoil is harsh and .380 ammo is way overpriced anyways.

I had a P3AT also nice gun but not a gun to take to the range alot

JohnnyBmore · 09-28-2008, 05:01 PM

yep definitely not a range gun lol .... I need it for canceled carry

was hoping to here some good things about the p3AT

cheaper then the ruger and none of the shops around me have an LCP in stock ... but there are P3AT's all day long!!
hmmmm might have to pick this up shits looks dope with the crimson trace laser & Belt clip!!

The p3at is a good gun but just like any small framed .380's there not a range gun but are good to carry on you for protection my buddy has a olive drab p3at that he is selling for $200

was hearing about a bunch of problems with them & FTF & FTE problems ?? but heard they fixed um up a bit ... what year is his .380 ??

casper975 · 09-28-2008, 07:28 PM

It's one of the newer ones he has only had it about a year I sold him my glock 30 so he has no use for it any more so he decided to sell it I thought about buying it myself

word ..... yeah id like to pick one up & $200 sounds nice

casper975 · 09-28-2008, 07:45 PM

Brand new they go for $320 down here so I figured for $200 with only about 200 rounds thru it that it would be worth it

check out www.usacarry.com. thats a good forum and theres a few thread on the lcp/p3at topic. I've been thinkin about either one of those guns for a while now too. LCP's are hard to come by but i think im gonna wait it out to get one of them. I just like the looks better. Almost the same gun otherwise....

casper975 · 09-30-2008, 05:45 PM

Well I called my buddy and told him that I will buy it for $200 from him next week

nice

My Pop has a Ruger LCP and I have the Kel-Tec and they are basically the same pistol, except the LCP is a little cleaner looking!

Just my 2 cents.

Peace Justin

wow the lcp is regularly in stock at the gander mountain by my place, been kicking that one around for awhile to replace my xd .40 service as my carry gun.
