what year did the lcp come out? what year did the p3at come out? read reviews for both guns from the year they were released to the public. the lcp has had a year of time to gain a repuation. Of course the first run guns recall tarnished that repuation. the p3at has been around for almost 5 years. i am willing to bet if you picked up a first run lcp, and pin it against a first run p3at you wouldnt be discussing this issue. yes i have owned and fired both. i am not bashing kel-tec yet, however i wouldnt run to Vance's and pick one up if you paid me to do it.
