Description

The Kel-Tec P-3AT is a polymer-framed, double-action-only .380 ACP semi-automatic pistol. The frame is made of polymer with an aluminum insert, and the slide and barrel are steel. It is the lightest production .380 ACP pistol in the world, weighing only 8.3 oz (240 g) empty, and is roughly the same size as many .22 LR and .25 ACP pocket pistols.

Available finishes include a black, grey, navy blue, or OD green frame, and a blued, parkerized, or matte chrome slide.

The DAO trigger has a pull weight of 5 pounds. This combined with the very compact and lightweight design makes the P-3AT a popular choice for civilians with concealed-carry permits and police officers as a backup pistol.
