I am concidering a p3at and remember discussions about older and newer models and there were improvements, ergo:
How do you tell if a p3at is from the old series or the new series?
What is the difference?
Is one better than the other and why?
Thanks for the info.
new series.
you can call keltec and they will tell you what the latest serial numbers are
The Kel-Tec serial numbers are a modified 34base. *The KT system doesn't use "I" and "O" since they would be confussed with "1" and "0". *Also the two least significant places are base 10. *
the first charector disingates what model
"J" for P3AT around fall 2006
"P" for PLR16
"A" for P11
"R" for PF9
"C" for P32
