Fail to Fires

[savynana]

I have a kel-tec P3AT I bought used that fails to fire at least once every clip. I have tried 2 different magazines and 3 different 380 ammo. It dimples the shell. What could be causing this? I bought this for my CCW as it is small enough for my purse and fits my hand nice, but it is to unreliable to carry unless I use it as a rock. LOL Does anyone know what could be wrong and is there a good gunsmith close to home? I live at Keystone Lake near Sand Springs. Also approx. cost to have this repaired? I cannot use it as is, and I refuse to sell it to someone who might be forced to use it and it not function. Shame on you that sold it to me. Thanks guys for the help

You should contact Kel-tec about it. They're customer service has been very good for me.

Sounds like it needs the "fluff and buff" described on www.ktog.org

I have one but mine performs flawlessly and always has. Is yours nice and clean?

I did not think to call them. I know kel-tec has a lifetime warranty but only to the original owner which I'm not. I'll check it out. Thanks

I doubt very seriously that they would do the research to find out if you were the original owner or not. Just send it in and let them take care of it for you.

Even if they charged you, it wouldn't be much. The most important part is that it would then be fixed and safe to carry.

I've heard nothing but good things about Kel-Tec's customer service and warranty repair people.

They usually don't ask if you are the original owner. So unless you volunteer up that information, then they won't know. I called them one time about some springs for my P3AT. I was the second or third owner. They didn't ask me anything about it. They just asked what was wrong. I told them which springs and which generation it was. They got my address and a few days later I had them in my had with a few extras to keep for spares.

Never have had to have Kel-tec look at any of mine.
They both work fine from day one.
