I will just have to wait and see how this all works out.

Please keep us posted.

I have put 330 rounds through mine, cleaning it twice in the process, and have experienced no problems.

For me, if it will fire two mags (+1 in the chamber) repeatedly, it's serving the purpose of a BUG just fine.

I've had a Llama, a Bersa, and a Davis in the past. None were as reliable as my new P3AT, but each would function through a few magazines full of FMJ before the dirt and heat started taking their toll.

This gun is much more reliable than those were, and it eats Gold Dots and other hollow points just fine.

The first thing I noticed with my P3AT was that if I didn't really "slingshot" the slide on the first round, it wouldn't go into battery.

It only took a couple of times to figure that out, and the gun has performed flawlessly since I learned how to load the first round.

I can get by with gently racking the slide on other pistols, but this one requires a very solid pull to the rear and quick release to chamber the first round.

I don't know if that's the same as your issue, but it's the closest thing mine has had to an issue, and I consider it merely a matter of technique.

BTW, I ran 200 rounds of WWB through it in the past two days, and it hasn't failed once. I failed to properly chamber the first round a few times, but that wasn't the gun's fault.

Picked mine up today at Shooter's Depot here in Corpus.

I had George sell my Egyptian AK thumbhole sporter on consignment, and used part of the cash to buy the P3AT.



I plan to test it at the range tomorrow. I'm gonna fire at least 50 rounds through it, probably 100, then give a report.
