Re: Seecamp Issues/Questions

The BEST thing is they are small and so concealable. It makes my tomcat look and feel like a giant. I've only had mine since the first of the year, and we've shot a few hundred rounds without a hitch.

They are quirkly little guns and you're right about ammo - recommendations are limited. There is ONE WWB that is deemed "ok" -- Winchester Q4255, and is the most reasonably priced for practice ammo.

I got mine from an LEO who bought it for his wife, he didn'st say why specifically but that she liked shooting a keltec better!

I'm guessing it might be because the seecamp kicks like a mule and the recoil is very harsh. It is NOT a fun gun to shoot. It is not a comfortable gun to shoot. I can't go to the range and expect to put a couple of hundred rounds through it at one time. It's really more practical to run a couple of magazines through to make sure it's functioning as it should. It's a point and shoot pistol - intended for close range, so practicing for accuracy isn't as demanding.

The Tomcat & Seecamp both have a very heavy trigger pull, which is expected. The Seecamp trigger has a more dramatic break that feels different and takes some getting used to.

They say dry firing is "OK", it's dry cycling (ejecting rounds by hand racking the slide) that isn't recommended. They also recommend if you're practicing to load with 6 but only shoot with 5 help prolong the life of the magazine followers.

If you haven't found it already, try joining the Seecamp forum. Larry Seecamp is a regular member and there are guys who've been shooting with years of experience who can better answer your questions. And if it turns out you don't like it, you can post it there to sell - they usually don't stay on the market for long.
