"It's so small" she laughed!

[Fjold]

Wifezilla didn't seem to impressed with the KelTec P3AT toy that I got but I like it. I don't know how I'm going to shoot it though, as only 1 1/2 fingers fit on the grip.

i would load only fmj on those things. hp might make it jam up.

[JawBone]

Yeah, that grip is small. Add a Hogue Jr. wraparound grip and one of the magazine floors that sticks out. Good to go.

if your wife thinks that's small, check out a Seecamp, she'll ROFL. when lined up with the "1" on left, it extends to the "E" on the ONE part pn the dollar bill.

(I know it's not a 380, but this thread is about being small, no? besides Seecamp does have a 380 version of the LWS32, the LWS38 but it's not approved in CA yet)

I've got a Smith & Wesson Sigma .380 that can enter the small derby.

Could be the backup to your backup.

I can't get any decent groups out of it past 25 yards though.

I have to bend my thumb all funny too, to keep it outta the way of my trigger finger as it comes back. And hold on tight.

Not true. I shoot Remington JHP though mine all the time. No problems.

A good resource for your new toy:

You can get a variety of finger grip extensions - check over at www.ktog.org. It's definitely a tricky gun to handle, and I hate the sights and the recoil, but I love slipping it in a back pocket with the belt clip on it.

Mine has digested everything I've fed it so far - FMJ, flat nose, JHP... I usually put a few mags of whatever FMJ I have on hand and a mag of Gold Dots through it. By the time I've got 3 mags through it, I'm flinching and my hand is shaking, so I always wait until the end of the range session, or it screws up my groups on everything else.

Mine has never choked on any of the 7 different types of .380 I've shot in it. While the recoil is noticeable, my wife doesn't complain about it. I've got about 500 rounds through mine now including some OLD speer and S&W hollow points with no complaints at all. I'll probably buy another for the my wife if she wants it for her CHL. I think it makes a great BUG because it disappears under the lightest clothes.

Bull on the FMJ only- mine has fed every JHP I've ptu through it, including the sharp conical Cor Bon JHP.

The small size is what you paid for! If you want something more hand filling, pick up a Kahr PM9 on the side

I don't know why folks complain about recoil on the KT, it's not bad at all IMO. My PPK feels sharper.
