If I did not have KTs I would buy the Ruger. However, the P32 and P3AT have been trouble free, shoot well, and I have no complaints. I realize that they would not last long at 300 rounds per week, and doubt the Ruger would either.
I am satisfied enough with the KT that I would not consider the Ruger. Regards, Jerry |

Love my LCP, no problems whatsover! Don't know what the fuss is from other people. Plus this little pocket gun feels like a well build gun and ruger reliablility, no malfuntions, and no jams. Much better feeling then the plastic feeling kel tec piece of crap!

I haven't shot one yet, or even seen one out in the world. Given the chance, I'd love to run a few hundred rounds through one. I know I'd be pleased - it is a Ruger.
However, unless the little pistol can give me winning lottery number, make me taller or thinner, or do my taxes for me, I'll stick with my P3AT. I've run at least $500 worth of ammunition through mine and I know it is reliable and pretty darn accurate.

I've had a 1st gen p3at for over 3 years w/ no problems and about 1000 rds or more. Don't carry a 380 much except as BUG, never as primary so just don't need another 380. Since I've got 8 p3at mags, I probably get another one if I needed another 380 but would check out the lcp too. Never seen one in this part of world. Would like to at least put my hands on one.

Completely satisfied. Several hundred rounds through already. Eats everything I put in it, with no jams, no issues whatsoever. Of course, I do take really good care of cleaning/lube after every use.

I'm still on the fence about one. I think my J frame still trumps it for now.

I love mine.....and a 380 is better than nothing when things get tight. I can hide this thing anyplace. Even in my Speedos

I also love mine. It goes everywhere with me too. One of the best investments I have made. You can barely tell it is in your pocket..

.380 can work if you do your work. There are a lot of variables in an individuals choice of what and how to carry. I like my New Agent .45 but there are times when I have to either pocket carry or use my smart carry and based on my frame/build, etc. that means my LCP as my J frame prints and is too bulky to be comfortable.
Life is choices, or I should say the result of all our choices. I can change jobs or dress if I want to. We all blend different priorities and choices and "fit" things into our lives like a pocket carried .380. Doesn't mean we're crazy or ignorant; I believe we know the .380 isn't the powerhouse round, but for certain times and circumstances, it's a great choice!! I'd have a big gap in my CCW if it wasn't for my P3AT and LCP. |

I agree.. If it were not for my LCP, I would not be carrying 8 hours of the day. I can not just strap a Glock 19 or a 1911 on my waist. They are to big and bulky. Same thing with a revolver, to bulky. It is better to have a 380 in my pocket then no gun at all. |
