Well if nobody's gonna comment on this I guess I'll have to.

My wife saw one of these and had to have it so... I got it for her. It would mess up on every other mag we fed it so the feed ramp got polished up and worked great for the next 100 rounds. Three days later got me one too. :)
 
Had my Kel Tec .380 for 7 years now and it's still shooting just fine. Only thing I don't like about it is that you have to let the trigger go almost all the way forward to reset between shots. I'm used to my H&K where you just barely let it move forward and it resets, but you can't do that with the Kel Tec or it won't fire. Probably never would have noticed it if I hadn't gotten used to the H&K. Can't drop the USP in a pocket of my shorts and conceal it though.

The DB380 is a great little gun. The Diamondback company was purportedly started by a couple of guys that got fed up at Kel-Tec and left to start their own company. One of the selling points for them is that the DB380 looks kind of like a miniature Glock. I've got a customer that swears by them.

As far as the Kel-Tec P3AT goes, I hear that they run best when loaded with PowR'Ball ammo from Cor-Bon.
 
think the p3at's are cool little guns, and available at a good price. I have seen women have trouble with them, though. My wife can't make one function, but i can take it from her hand and run it 100%.

My guess is that due to the light overall mass of the the gun that they are prone to jamming without a good firm grip. that's just my opinion, of course.

I guess Ruger thought enough of it to knock it off (LCP)
 
My Glock 22 jams on my wife constantly and it's never jammed on me. She only shot the P3AT a few rounds and wouldn't shoot it any more because she said it had a "slappy" recoil.
