« on: July 10, 2008, 01:06:06 PM »
I asked Haz about this the other day in the Chat Room, but he wasn't sure.......

So here is a very nice run down on the differences between the Gen 1 &. Gen 2 complete with detailed pictures:

1st Gen on left. 2nd Gen on the right.

You have your left and right mixed up...atleast that's the way I read that link.

Thanks, I e-mailed KT 3 days ago and have not received an answer.  Good to know.

I love my P3AT with Speer or Corbon, these guns like to be kept clean, and a "fluff and buff" of the slide, inside the trigger guard, (thanks Haz!), mag extensions, good lube, and these things work great.

Sights are crude but effective, as the gun wasn't designed for shots longer than a standard mousegun. It is great here in summer NC, and am glad to have it.


P.S. I liked the blue! ;D
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Yes, the second generation has the improved external screw and extractor spring.

The first generation looks like an LCP.
