Kel-Tec P-3AT Second Generation .380 ACP Micro Pistol – 2.7" Barrel, 6+1 Capacity, Early Serial
The second-generation Kel-Tec P-3AT is a locked-breech micro pistol chambered in .380 ACP and weighing just 8.3 oz unloaded. This example carries an early K0015 serial number from the initial production batch and retains the updated extractor design that defines the Gen 2 series. Compact dimensions, a glass-filled polymer frame, and a blued slide make it a practical lightweight carry option and an interesting piece for Kel-Tec collectors alike.

This P-3AT features a 2.7-inch 4140 steel barrel mated to a hard-anodized 7075-T6 aluminum receiver, all housed in an impact-resistant glass-filled polymer frame. The result is a micro pistol that balances durability with minimal carry weight.
The blued slide includes rear diagonal cocking serrations and fixed integral sights—a small front ramp and drift-free rear notch—keeping the profile snag-free for pocket or ankle carry.
A true double-action-only system with an internal hammer eliminates an external safety lever, while the left-side push-button magazine release supports quick reloads. Capacity is 6+1 rounds of .380 ACP.
Discontinued in 2022, the second-generation P-3AT remains notable for paving the way for modern ultra-light .380 carry pistols. Its early-run serial number and clean condition make this example particularly appealing.
