TweetI have the P32 that the P3AT is based off of. I love my P32. It's like AmEx. It goes where I go. I can hit pretty decent with it too, out too about 15-20ft. A friend that goes shooting with me got the P3AT. It's basically the same gun, so it should be a reliable piece. Just count your rounds when you practice with it so you don't dry-fire it every mag. The .380 doesn't have last-round lock-back. Also, the sights on the .380 are less pronounced than the .32. This was a problem for me at 1st.(with the .380, of course). also, I quickly got used to the 10rd extended mag with my .32, which allows for a full grip. My solution to getting tighter groups with the P3AT was to press the frame of the pistol against the palm of my "strong-hand" with my thumbs. It's hard to explain without showing you what I mean. You just bend your thumbs up slightly, and press them against the frame as they'll lay aginst the frame, one behind the other. If you can imagine what I'm explaining, this grip made the P3AT a much better shooter than it was before I thought of this grip. Or, it made me much more accurate with it than before.
One thing that helps with grip is to change the base plate of your mag with a finger-catcher base plate. One of my lgs sells them for $4.98.
You got a good deal too! $100 off is not bad at all.
Get acquainted with it, so you know how good you are with the pocket-pistol.
Some good practice time with these pocket-pistols is invaluable. You'll see what I mean from the 1st mag to when you start workin over 2 separate targets at a semi-rapid rate-of-fire.
That's a bargain worth every penny, and more!
