So I have been watching you for a while now. Well 2 months ago I joined US LawShield. Upon joining I received a free copy of this book titled "Louisiana Gun Law-Armed and Educated", written by this guy who I was told was the top self defense attorney in Louisiana named James J. Reeves. I was looking through some US LawShield videos earlier and saw video on how to avoid becoming a headline during this national crisis. On it is this Louisiana attorney James J Reeves. I hear his voice (because I was listening and not watching) and his voice sounds familiar. I look down and see your face. It was at that moment that I realized that "you" James Reeves and "that" James Reeves are one in the same. Never made the connection before this. I am not too sure how I feel about my life and freedom one day possibly being in the hands of someone who owns not 1, not 2, not 3, but FOUR Kel-Tec P380's..... a total gun snob at that😂😂😂 Must be stopped 😅😅😅👍👍👍
I’m definitely not a “Keltec fanboy” by no means but I got a S2K a couple years ago and that thing is pretty damn cool other than the rough trigger. Got a couple awesome upgrades for it and man that things is a great backpack bug out PCC now! And I’ve never really needed or wanted one but I think they’ve pretty much perfected that P32 and P3at by now after like almost 20 years!?! 👍🏻Lol 😆
Personal fan of the P32. Even smaller and lighter, and it locks open on the last round. Yes it is .32ACP (place hate for me to ignore below) so shot placement is very important. Those of you who appendix carry a M1 Abrams can read something else. That being said, it is good for its intended niche: very concealed and better at range than your pocketknife. It is truly a "forget it is there" pistol. For me, the .380 version is too big for its benefits. If it works, I will wear my Officer sized 1911. Bottom line: Carry what you want, but carry. Keep it cleaned and maintained. Feed it good carry rounds. Practice regularly. Stress drills. Placement is key.
when the host of the video says you can throw it in your pocket and go to the corner store, is he shoving it in there loaded or unloaded? i thought there should always be a trigger sheath like a clip draw on a loaded gun carried IWB, or is it really safe to put any pocket gun, loaded, into the front or back pocket without any trigger guards??
I've met to many people who have a great Glock 19 in their car. My TCP or my 637 is in my pocket unless the place in no ccw posted. Places like post offices, gun shows, and liquor stores here in Texas.
@@baird329 Ditto I may not have the coolest new gun but I always have a gun that works on me....and sometimes I "forget" where Im not allowed to carry it as well, it happens haha

Yeah man, last year I picked up a Ruger LCP2 in 22LR (basically a just for fun gun). But this past summer I found myself pocket-carrying it on a fairly routine weekend basis because I'd be out jogging (shirtless), with my daughter in her stroller & 2 dogs on leashes. Not a lot of room for concealment, so one day I threw the little Ruger in my gym shorts & it was perfect for the task. I know Hop didn't care much for his copy of the pistol & spoke negatively about it in his TFB review, but mine has been extremely reliable after thousands of rounds using exclusively Remington 36gr hollow point, so I do trust it to poke holes in villainous people when I'm out on a jog & can't carry my 43X. Don't feel bad about owning 4 Keltec .380's, James-- I'm a 235 pound 6"1' grown ass man & I just admitted to carrying a LCP2 in 22LR. We're all tough guys... "*+*"Together"*+*"
I had one once. I had to send it in to Kel-Tec twice for the same issues. Second time they sent me back a brand new whole complete slide assembly. Good customer service overall. I documented several fails to eject and or extract. Exact round count, ammunition type(s), malfunction...all of that sent to the company. When I got the new slide assembly I shot several rounds through it without any issues. But, in my mind I just could not get passed the issues it previously had. I just could not get passed the mindset of it not being reliable. Even though I test fired it and there were no issues I sold it. Fast forward to Ruger and their version. I bought one and it has been flawless through hundreds of rounds. It is a perfect little carry gun for the reasons mentioned in the video.
James, you had such a beautiful relationship with Glock. Now sure she wasn't the most gorgeous on the block, but she would never fail to be there for you. Then you started a relationship with Sig Sauer, the German Beauty that had almost everything you could ever want. And now you tell us you had bastard children with the one eyed wench of the gun world? You left all that for KelTec? What were you thinking?!
He was thinking Glock and Sig's were like a door knob everybody gets a turn, and thought I know exactly what to do I'll get the ugliest, skinniest, yet smelliest wench I can find I'm certain she'll never cheat because no one else would have her.
I love my 2nd gen P32, I upgraded the guide rod to steel, upgraded the springs to stiffer ones, and also upgraded the take down pin to a steel one. Just need to upgrade the trigger and mag release, nice little carry gun! I also put 3/4” mag extension on both magazines. Very solid and easy to shoot.
I was shot in the back one night leaving work with a CO2, .177 from a car about 8 yards away. If it had been a .22 LR I would be dead. So a .380 is fine as is a .32. As always, shot placement is key.
@ I did not say I would carry it, but I keep an NAA 22LR with the Rosewood grips in my night stand for emergencies, and at the range it's never failed to go boom, or hit the target at 25 yards, or less, which is fine for aiming down my hallway at an attacker if I can't get to my shotguns fast enough.
@@CommodoreFan64 I'm right there with u! I have an NAA revolver, and love it. Love shooting 22's period. I even went as far as getting the NAA Guardian 32acp.
@@markedman3990 Nice choice, and I want a NAA Guardian 32ACP, but after having to buy a new (all died this year in order starting in June - just a few days ago), dishwasher, tankless water heater, all new plumbing for my old house that was still on copper(the plumber would not touch the water heater otherwise as the copper was a ticking time bomb about to pop at any moment, and did 1/2 way though the job the night of day one after he left for the day), then a new fridge, and chest freezer to go with it for space, as nothing else was in stock my girlfriend liked till Feb/Mar of next year(everything had to be Whirlpool black matching the stove), it's not in the budget ATM lol.
@@CommodoreFan64 Holy Moly! That's a lot of stuff to have to replace in such a short time! I totally get it. To be honest I have the Kel-tec P32, and it was way less$$ but shoots just as well...maybe even better. Sure, the Guardian will be around in a 100 years(it's made so dang well)my P32 probably not. They're both great pocket options. Hope u get back on budget fairly quickly. Safe shooting my friend.
Don’t feel too bad. I still carry a Kel-Tec P-32, and I’m a CZ/ Walther snob. In fact, this weekend I have carried the P-32, a CZ P-01, and a Walther PPS M2.
I EDC the very similar Kel-tec P32. The trigger pull is long but smooth, and the sights are minimal, but they work. For some reason I can shoot the Kel-tec as accurately as any of my other handguns, particularly that critical first round, within 15 meters.
Went on vacation with Lindsay and forgot my razor. We were indeed on an island and I couldn't find anything but those cheap Bic single blade disposables which I refuse to waste my time with. So have an official like for your pretty-much-accurate comment.
i love the p3at. it always goes bang when i pull the trigger. and has never ever failed to feed, fire or eject. the very definition of a good defense gun.
I've had a first generation Kel-Tec P32 for many years and shot it quite a bit. I consider it the single best ultra compact .32 ACP ever made. It's in a unique category in terms of extreme light weight and thinness. Mine ran everything I put in it out of the box, except for balking a little with Remington ammunition. A small radius on the bottom corner of the extractor cured that. Perfect function since. The Cor-Bon load is too hot for it, and the slide will cycle too fast to pick up the top cartridge. This also happens in some traditional steel .32s like the Colt 1903. The first generation guns had a truly excellent and innovative sighting system and slide profile. It was perfect for raising the gun to eye level while focusing on the target. Shots will go right where you're looking. Probably the single best sights ever for an ultra small short range handgun. Unfortunately Kel-Tec took a big step backwards with the second generation and switched to conventional sights, which are unremarkable and not very good. Unconventional sighting systems seem to be little understood or appreciated. The SIG P365 SAS is another example of an ingenious and excellent sight that just hasn't caught on or gotten the appreciation it truly deserves.
The P32 is far softer shooting, smaller, lighter, and locks back. Lucky Gunner did some great ballistics comparisons for the 32 acp. With the right ammo, you’re not giving up much to the P380. I have a Ruger LCP II which I do not like to shot.
@@raypaget815 love my P32 and underwood xtreme defenders make it even better. It does lockback after the last round and he was wrong by saying the lcp locks back after last round, it does not. The lcp2 does not the original lcp.
Thank you James! My KelTec shame has been vindicated. I'm still a working cop after 35 years and (much to your dislike), a 1911 carrier both on and off duty. I usually carry my KelTec while on my daily walk with my dog. I wear lightweight shorts and a T-shirt for this and find the p3at perfectly fits my needs. It has even proven a lifesaver (for my dog anyway). Once when my 65 lb. Chabrador was attacked by an estimated 85-90 lb. Pitbull mix, and after exhausting an entire OC canister trying to break up the fight, I ended it with a single .380 round.
That's as honest as you can get. I feel the exact same way. I've had for over 15 years on the .380 and PF9 carry guns. Couple of hundred rounds through each and zero issues so far.
I laughed so hard while drinking hot coffee at the Clint Smith line of not carrying a .380 up his ass if he had room for a tugboat that it came out my nose. Hurt like hell but I kept laughing 🤣🤙
Kel-Tec's are amazing guns James! I own 3 of them! Never had a malfunction out of them. Wish there were more aftermarket parts for them though. I carry a PMR-30 proudly sometimes. I switch it out with my Glock and Diamondback pocket gun.
That was my first edc, I shot tens of thousands of rounds through it Kahr's gunsmith new me well it wasn't quite 100% so I shot it alot to begin to trust it but eventually broke a bunch of shit, the slide broke where they mill the slot for the extractor. They wouldn't fix it :(
I still can't believe a tiny Kel-Tec P-3AT has the same capacity with the 7+1 extended mag as my mother's old Beretta Cheetah 83 (which is around an inch and a half shorter length wise and less than an inch shorter heigh wise than a standard Beretta 92). Kel-Tec did a great job with making such a tiny and light weight gun to that's still unmatched in it's category (unless you care about sights).
They seem to be hit and miss, a friend of mine and her boyfriend each purchased a G2c and hers would crack casings and jam and his had trash accuracy. Needless to say they traded them in on a couple of hellcats.
@@yabbadabba9889 their QC is garbage. I have Taurus G3, it jammed on hollow points. I got the ramp polished and it had no issues since. But I didn’t trust it, so I went and bought a Sig p320 X Compact (3.9 inch barrel instead of the 3.6). My G3 shoots well, and I have run more shots through it than I have on my Sig. I only fire new ammo on the Sig, but since the Taurus was only $400 I run old free 12 year old (beginning to rust) ammo given to me by my father in law (retired cop). Surprisingly, through 200-220 rounds of that old stuff it hasn’t malfunctioned. Apart from the ramp needing polishing I got a good one. Still, when a friend/family member asks me for a gun to buy as their first gun I steer them towards A Glock 19, P320 or an HK VP9. I want a Walther PDP by my local gun shop doesn’t carry it.
The weakness of the Ruger LCP is the lack of last shot slide hold open, which also necessitataes having to bang a loaded magazine into place against a closed side when reloading for the magazine catch to engage.
Paint the front sight. Wolff springs. Started with a G26 then figured out p3at could go anywhere no matter what I wore. Clip is nice for inside the waist band carry if you are willing to not have the trigger covered.
Mine broke, unstaked firing pin took Seecamp 3 months to get it back to me (pre covid). Can’t DIY it since all of the parts are “hand fitted.” Finicky with the ammo. Heavy, no sights, expensive. But other than all that, yeah they’re kind of cool.
Great video. An inexpensive item (gun) that works as well as an expensive one is a smart buy. Carry guns are survival tools not family heirlooms and the cheaper they are the better they are. I'm not a fan of the 380 ACP but I may try to find one of these for myself. Thanks for the video.
I know the Ruger LCP MAX came out after this video as you have reviewed it as well…….When I pocket carry the MAX with the right ammunition and the 12 round mag with 1 in the pipe I don’t really feel undergunned…. If it goes bang when it is suppose too and you are comfortable that is key in my book…… Great confession by the way!!😎👍
Yes the sights are garbage, same goes for the LCP. But it's not like you're gonna qualify at the 100 yard range with them either, both are point shooters. I agree they are great for a backup, my license dose not restrict me to carrying one gun!
I had a PF9, and loved it! Expected it's recoil to be noticeable at only 12.9 ounces empty....but it was milder than both a PPK/S in .380, and a .45 Auto Officer's ACP, at least in my hands. Even shooting it one handed was pleasant.
a couple years ago i bought one from a buddy. he’d had it for years so i knew it was reliable. he also cleaned up the trigger so it isn’t too bad. he also made a holster and pocket mag pouch and it has a laser which i’ll probably remove. i bought it for the same reason james did and it just works.
it was an early armalaser and was finicky. i’m thinking about a crimson trace but not sure i want to spend more than i paid for the pistol. i do have one on a kahr p9 which i like.
I'm 6'00, 320lb. I got a Talo ed or Cerakote Elite coated LCP ll .380acp & it was a hot mess, 🐐 %=÷× bad. The LCP ll would scuff, mar quickly. I would say a + is the small size, light wt. I used Underwood Ammo .380acp defense ammunition.
@@DavidLLambertmobile Why do you care about a carry gun getting scuffed? Regular .380 ball ammo will put a hole in someone and make them think twice just as much as any other pistol caliber. I'm not pretending to be special forces or anything.
Subhuman Taurus owner here. Millennium PT145 Pro and PT 22 Poly. I also have a Ruger SR9C, but most “gun snobs” admit those are awesome. James got me wanting a P3AT, but I might favor the Keltec P32 instead.
I've had my TCP for about 4 years now and it had performed well with everything except Monarch steel case ammo. I had 2 stove pipes with the monarch range ammo. A cheap carry option isn't bad as long as it is reliable with defensive loads. Carry the cheap pistol it'll make it where you are even less likely to brandish the weapon unless it is absolutely necessary. A Kel-Tec or a Taurus is like a Vespa scooter. It may do the job and be a lot of fun, but you don't want your friends to see you with it.
I love ❤️ my keltec p3at.!! It always works.!! The new innovations in ammo make it very effective.!!! That plus my Glock 26 and a few extra mags ... very smart.!!
As a handyman running around all over in nice and bad neighborhoods in and out of peoples houses I have to say I appreciate 380 pocket guns especially AIWB
I had one about 15 years ago. Loved the size, but could never get it to feed reliably. So I sold it, though it was eventually replaced with a Ruger LCP 2. That gun has been perfect as a no excuses gun. Though I generally carry my Shield more often.
James....This is like looking at fart porn...You don't wanna tell anyone you watch it without laughing...After the laughing stops theres something kind of hot about a girl farting on a chocolate cake😂.....Kind of like your secret love of the Kel Tec.
I feel the same bother. I have an LCP I use for those pocket only occasions. It runs like a top. I get very amused at some of these tactical nut jobs who don’t like the way it “feels in the hand”, or they just can’t hit anything over 25 yards because of the terrible heavy trigger. It’s a pocket gun fellas! Lol
I'm not going to shame you. I sympathize with a junkies struggles to get clean but you do need to be mindful of justifying self destructive behavior. You spent the last half of the vid doing that. A 12 step program can give you alternatives. Go with God and remember......one day at a time
Made a lot of valid points. I also agree, we all tend to get caught up in "caliber war" arguments when the people you see being victimized have no firearm...period. When things go wrong you need something that goes bang.
I carry the p3at’s little twin the p32 on a regular basis. I call it my church pistol. My edc is a Taurus GX4. But the P32 is just so easy to hide in a front pocket it’s almost criminal. Like you said I carry it when I know I’m going to a safe place where the odds of needing it are almost non existent. I just feel it’s better to be armed at all times and the little P32 is better than nothing. The best thing is I bought it brand new in 2001 for 125 dollars. I have shot probably 200 rounds through it and it has never once failed. I can’t say that for any of my other pistols. Even my Glock 19 is not 100 percent reliable. I have shot thousands of rounds through it and occasionally it has had its issues. Oh and by the way my Taurus GX4 has around 450-550 rounds through it without a stoppage. So don’t go hating on Taurus so much. They have really stepped up their game in the last 3 years.
Carry a Kahr CW380 everyday. Only had jams in the first 100 rounds. The past 300 rounds have had no issue. It shoots winchester whitebox and remington green box flawlessly. Shoots Hornady Hollow points too and that’s what I keep in it.
I carry the Glock 42 every day with and ulticlip holster it’s the perfect size/weight to carry with no belt and I was able to up the capacity to 8+1 with magguts and a hyve +1 baseplate without impacting the size virtually at all
Not that great of a story. I think I already had the black one and I was like, "oh shit, the gray ones are on sale for $175, Lindsay do you want one?" She's like "oh yeah, cheap purse gun, I'm in." I'm thinking it won't hurt for me to have a spare at that price. Boom, next thing you know we have 3 P3ATs in the house.
My S&W air weight 642 fills this roll for me on a daily basis , it is my back up gun and my walk my dog in the dark run into a big black bear while taking the trash out or run to the corner store or mail box gun , I carry it in a pocket holster and it’s fed Sig V-Crown defense .38+P , I just can’t do the .380 thing , I’m with Clint on this one and ask Clint about the snub .38 hammerless he has some great things to say about that gun! Fun video as always! 😃

"May as well introduce you to the kids, I've got a black one..."
I have a similar love for North American Arms 22lr revolvers
Same here, and just 22lr in general.
@ I did not say I would carry it, but I keep an NAA 22LR with the Rosewood grips in my night stand for emergencies, and at the range it's never failed to go boom, or hit the target at 25 yards, or less, which is fine for aiming down my hallway at an attacker if I can't get to my shotguns fast enough.
@@CommodoreFan64 I'm right there with u! I have an NAA revolver, and love it. Love shooting 22's period. I even went as far as getting the NAA Guardian 32acp.
@@markedman3990 Nice choice, and I want a NAA Guardian 32ACP, but after having to buy a new (all died this year in order starting in June - just a few days ago), dishwasher, tankless water heater, all new plumbing for my old house that was still on copper(the plumber would not touch the water heater otherwise as the copper was a ticking time bomb about to pop at any moment, and did 1/2 way though the job the night of day one after he left for the day), then a new fridge, and chest freezer to go with it for space, as nothing else was in stock my girlfriend liked till Feb/Mar of next year(everything had to be Whirlpool black matching the stove), it's not in the budget ATM lol.
@@CommodoreFan64 Holy Moly! That's a lot of stuff to have to replace in such a short time! I totally get it. To be honest I have the Kel-tec P32, and it was way less$$ but shoots just as well...maybe even better. Sure, the Guardian will be around in a 100 years(it's made so dang well)my P32 probably not. They're both great pocket options. Hope u get back on budget fairly quickly. Safe shooting my friend.
Don’t feel too bad. I still carry a Kel-Tec P-32, and I’m a CZ/ Walther snob.
In fact, this weekend I have carried the P-32, a CZ P-01, and a Walther PPS M2.
I EDC the very similar Kel-tec P32. The trigger pull is long but smooth, and the sights are minimal, but they work. For some reason I can shoot the Kel-tec as accurately as any of my other handguns, particularly that critical first round, within 15 meters.
Damn James u alright u looked like u were stranded in a island lmao
Went on vacation with Lindsay and forgot my razor. We were indeed on an island and I couldn't find anything but those cheap Bic single blade disposables which I refuse to waste my time with. So have an official like for your pretty-much-accurate comment.
@@tfbtv So, which type of razor the real connoisseurs use? I'm looking to upgrade my Bic game.

@@markh.6687 Only if they're Japanese businessmen!
i love the p3at. it always goes bang when i pull the trigger. and has never ever failed to feed, fire or eject. the very definition of a good defense gun.
I've had a first generation Kel-Tec P32 for many years and shot it quite a bit. I consider it the single best ultra compact .32 ACP ever made. It's in a unique category in terms of extreme light weight and thinness. Mine ran everything I put in it out of the box, except for balking a little with Remington ammunition. A small radius on the bottom corner of the extractor cured that. Perfect function since. The Cor-Bon load is too hot for it, and the slide will cycle too fast to pick up the top cartridge. This also happens in some traditional steel .32s like the Colt 1903. The first generation guns had a truly excellent and innovative sighting system and slide profile. It was perfect for raising the gun to eye level while focusing on the target. Shots will go right where you're looking. Probably the single best sights ever for an ultra small short range handgun. Unfortunately Kel-Tec took a big step backwards with the second generation and switched to conventional sights, which are unremarkable and not very good. Unconventional sighting systems seem to be little understood or appreciated. The SIG P365 SAS is another example of an ingenious and excellent sight that just hasn't caught on or gotten the appreciation it truly deserves.
The keltek 32 is a 6 ounce gun and with Underwood ammo is a serious weapon. It fits in your shirt pocket.
Completely agree. I feel just as confident with .32 Underwood ammo instead of .380. Slightly smaller and lighter.
Hell yeah! The P32 w/Underwood ammo maybe the perfect carry gun.
The P32 has been harder to find cheap, found a P3AT at the pawn shop for $129
The P32 is far softer shooting, smaller, lighter, and locks back. Lucky Gunner did some great ballistics comparisons for the 32 acp. With the right ammo, you’re not giving up much to the P380. I have a Ruger LCP II which I do not like to shot.
@@raypaget815 love my P32 and underwood xtreme defenders make it even better. It does lockback after the last round and he was wrong by saying the lcp locks back after last round, it does not. The lcp2 does not the original lcp.
Thank you James! My KelTec shame has been vindicated. I'm still a working cop after 35 years and (much to your dislike), a 1911 carrier both on and off duty. I usually carry my KelTec while on my daily walk with my dog. I wear lightweight shorts and a T-shirt for this and find the p3at perfectly fits my needs. It has even proven a lifesaver (for my dog anyway). Once when my 65 lb. Chabrador was attacked by an estimated 85-90 lb. Pitbull mix, and after exhausting an entire OC canister trying to break up the fight, I ended it with a single .380 round.
That's as honest as you can get. I feel the exact same way. I've had for over 15 years on the .380 and PF9 carry guns. Couple of hundred rounds through each and zero issues so far.
Having four of a small model of gun takes you from a New York reload to a full fledged John Wick reload.
I laughed so hard while drinking hot coffee at the Clint Smith line of not carrying a .380 up his ass if he had room for a tugboat that it came out my nose. Hurt like hell but I kept laughing 🤣🤙
Clint has far less of a filter than I usually do.
Ass carry will be more popular if Biden becomes president.
Clint says a lot of stupid things.
I always carry, cause one time you don't will be the time you need it.
@PennsyltuckystanBooj That's how i always say it, so true, fucking matrix man ! XD
Congratulations, James, admission is the first step in recovery ❤️🩹
Kel-Tec's are amazing guns James! I own 3 of them! Never had a malfunction out of them. Wish there were more aftermarket parts for them though. I carry a PMR-30 proudly sometimes. I switch it out with my Glock and Diamondback pocket gun.
I feel so close to you right now.
Kahr CW380, real sites better trigger lower bore access and you don't have to be embarrassed showing it to your friends.
Love my kahrs. Stainless steel is always a plus
@Whitebread Crackerman Blame talk to text
That was my first edc, I shot tens of thousands of rounds through it Kahr's gunsmith new me well it wasn't quite 100% so I shot it alot to begin to trust it but eventually broke a bunch of shit, the slide broke where they mill the slot for the extractor. They wouldn't fix it :(
I'd still be embarrassed 😳
The lcp shits on that gun lol
I still can't believe a tiny Kel-Tec P-3AT has the same capacity with the 7+1 extended mag as my mother's old Beretta Cheetah 83 (which is around an inch and a half shorter length wise and less than an inch shorter heigh wise than a standard Beretta 92). Kel-Tec did a great job with making such a tiny and light weight gun to that's still unmatched in it's category (unless you care about sights).
Heard Kel-Tec is introducing a new handgun for 2021 that’s supposed to be like an updated P-11. Also I have 4 Kel-Tec P-32s
I didn't like the dumping on Taurus (again) since the G2 and G3 guns are good shooters for budget guns.
They seem to be hit and miss, a friend of mine and her boyfriend each purchased a G2c and hers would crack casings and jam and his had trash accuracy. Needless to say they traded them in on a couple of hellcats.
Tcp equals garbage
@@yabbadabba9889 their QC is garbage. I have Taurus G3, it jammed on hollow points. I got the ramp polished and it had no issues since. But I didn’t trust it, so I went and bought a Sig p320 X Compact (3.9 inch barrel instead of the 3.6).
My G3 shoots well, and I have run more shots through it than I have on my Sig. I only fire new ammo on the Sig, but since the Taurus was only $400 I run old free 12 year old (beginning to rust) ammo given to me by my father in law (retired cop). Surprisingly, through 200-220 rounds of that old stuff it hasn’t malfunctioned. Apart from the ramp needing polishing I got a good one.
Still, when a friend/family member asks me for a gun to buy as their first gun I steer them towards A Glock 19, P320 or an HK VP9. I want a Walther PDP by my local gun shop doesn’t carry it.
We Taurus owners stand proud holding up our guns high Sabrina! No amount of brow beating will stop us. Browncoats unite! 😃
"Full Sabrina" or "Half Sabrina" (one hand or two hands on gun pointed skyward, with arms bent at the elbows).
The weakness of the Ruger LCP is the lack of last shot slide hold open, which also necessitataes having to bang a loaded magazine into place against a closed side when reloading for the magazine catch to engage.
Paint the front sight. Wolff springs. Started with a G26 then figured out p3at could go anywhere no matter what I wore. Clip is nice for inside the waist band carry if you are willing to not have the trigger covered.
LCP II w/extended mag, my fav.
Same here, one extended mag in the weapon, with another ready to go.
This makes me feel less bad for sometimes carrying an LC9. Less, but not by much...
Have a p32 in my pocket edc for 2 years as my second gun. Forget it’s even there.
Now you've got me thinking about whether I need more 380 pistols in my life. Argh. :-)
Pretty soon you're gonna start hearing acronyms like SAWC and SAPR. But the real question is, is it first or second type of cool?
Lol there's nothing cooler than chest carrying in a serpa holster
I’ll keep my Seecamp 32 thank you
Mine broke, unstaked firing pin took Seecamp 3 months to get it back to me (pre covid). Can’t DIY it since all of the parts are “hand fitted.” Finicky with the ammo. Heavy, no sights, expensive. But other than all that, yeah they’re kind of cool.
Great video. An inexpensive item (gun) that works as well as an expensive one is a smart buy. Carry guns are survival tools not family heirlooms and the cheaper they are the better they are. I'm not a fan of the 380 ACP but I may try to find one of these for myself. Thanks for the video.
I know the Ruger LCP MAX came out after this video as you have reviewed it as well…….When I pocket carry the MAX with the right ammunition and the 12 round mag with 1 in the pipe I don’t really feel undergunned…. If it goes bang when it is suppose too and you are comfortable that is key in my book…… Great confession by the way!!😎👍
Yes the sights are garbage, same goes for the LCP. But it's not like you're gonna qualify at the 100 yard range with them either, both are point shooters. I agree they are great for a backup, my license dose not restrict me to carrying one gun!
Reliable... a plastic trashcan is reliable, that doesn't mean I want a gun made out of the same material. My God man!
I had a PF9, and loved it! Expected it's recoil to be noticeable at only 12.9 ounces empty....but it was milder than both a PPK/S in .380, and a .45 Auto Officer's ACP, at least in my hands. Even shooting it one handed was pleasant.
a couple years ago i bought one from a buddy. he’d had it for years so i knew it was reliable. he also cleaned up the trigger so it isn’t too bad. he also made a holster and pocket mag pouch and it has a laser which i’ll probably remove. i bought it for the same reason james did and it just works.
Why remove the laser
it was an early armalaser and was finicky. i’m thinking about a crimson trace but not sure i want to spend more than i paid for the pistol. i do have one on a kahr p9 which i like.
Leave the house without a gun? I carry a gun inside the house. Seriously.
Same..
Me too
On at dawn off at bedtime!
Y'all get it. Well done. Carry on. :)

Just when I think 2020 can't get any dumber I hear James talking about wearing "regular" clothes
I'm a thin guy who lives in place where it's hot most the time and my edc is a Ruger LCP II. I don't feel bad about that all.
I'm 6'00, 320lb. I got a Talo ed or Cerakote Elite coated LCP ll .380acp & it was a hot mess, 🐐 %=÷× bad. The LCP ll would scuff, mar quickly. I would say a + is the small size, light wt. I used Underwood Ammo .380acp defense ammunition.
@@DavidLLambertmobile Why do you care about a carry gun getting scuffed? Regular .380 ball ammo will put a hole in someone and make them think twice just as much as any other pistol caliber. I'm not pretending to be special forces or anything.
I have the Ruger LCP2. Great little pistol for those lazy trips to the local 7-11. Great vid.
Subhuman Taurus owner here. Millennium PT145 Pro and PT 22 Poly. I also have a Ruger SR9C, but most “gun snobs” admit those are awesome. James got me wanting a P3AT, but I might favor the Keltec P32 instead.
Absolve your sins by making Boogaloadouts Part 3.
I've had my TCP for about 4 years now and it had performed well with everything except Monarch steel case ammo. I had 2 stove pipes with the monarch range ammo. A cheap carry option isn't bad as long as it is reliable with defensive loads. Carry the cheap pistol it'll make it where you are even less likely to brandish the weapon unless it is absolutely necessary. A Kel-Tec or a Taurus is like a Vespa scooter. It may do the job and be a lot of fun, but you don't want your friends to see you with it.
That guns not politics statement is underrated! 💯
LCP Max is my pocket pistol. 10+1 of 380 and it fits easily in most pockets.
same an love the 12 round mags also
I love ❤️ my keltec p3at.!! It always works.!! The new innovations in ammo make it very effective.!!! That plus my Glock 26 and a few extra mags ... very smart.!!
James just wanted to show off his shorts collection. I’m convinced.
As a handyman running around all over in nice and bad neighborhoods in and out of peoples houses I have to say I appreciate 380 pocket guns especially AIWB
I had one about 15 years ago. Loved the size, but could never get it to feed reliably. So I sold it, though it was eventually replaced with a Ruger LCP 2. That gun has been perfect as a no excuses gun. Though I generally carry my Shield more often.
James....This is like looking at fart porn...You don't wanna tell anyone you watch it without laughing...After the laughing stops theres something kind of hot about a girl farting on a chocolate cake😂.....Kind of like your secret love of the Kel Tec.
dude I haven't seen cakefarts in a really long time. I wonder how that girl is doing btw.
@Jones it is absolutely real but no one knows what happened to the video.

Uh, 50 Stitches, we really didn't need to know you look at things like that.
James has 4 Kel-Tecs, and all of them work? WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?! 😲
The 380 and 32 versions generally do, unlike some of Kel-Teks spectacular failures.
@@markh.6687 LOVE my Sub 2000 GEN 1 in 9mm....
Ive had 5 keltec's p32 autos over 15 yr period love those guns. I feel your love
Just picked one up at my local pawnshop. It’s awesome.
As much as I would like to participate in cyber bullying, I cannot as I am in the same boat with LCPs. Good video! 🇺🇲😎
I feel the same bother. I have an LCP I use for those pocket only occasions. It runs like a top. I get very amused at some of these tactical nut jobs who don’t like the way it “feels in the hand”, or they just can’t hit anything over 25 yards because of the terrible heavy trigger. It’s a pocket gun fellas! Lol
The Ruger LCP gen 1 made me want to start carrying a slingshot because it was SO BAD. I'd give the Keltec a shot.
I am with you. I was new into guns and didnt really understand what a "bad trigger" meant. The LCP 1 taught me. I heard the LCP 2 is an upgrade though
Bought a Kel-Tec P32 in green 16years ago. I know 32acp is not considered a defensive round, but it worked for Bond. Haven't shot it in 15 years.
I think this would be a decent boot gun, A good compliment for a nice full sized firearm.
I knew it was a KelTec P380! I've always heard they were pretty decent. And small little buggers.
I'm not going to shame you. I sympathize with a junkies struggles to get clean but you do need to be mindful of justifying self destructive behavior. You spent the last half of the vid doing that. A 12 step program can give you alternatives. Go with God and remember......one day at a time
Is this a general post??
@@kirkwest6654 yes. Tongue in cheek
Made a lot of valid points. I also agree, we all tend to get caught up in "caliber war" arguments when the people you see being victimized have no firearm...period. When things go wrong you need something that goes bang.
I carry the p3at’s little twin the p32 on a regular basis. I call it my church pistol. My edc is a Taurus GX4. But the P32 is just so easy to hide in a front pocket it’s almost criminal. Like you said I carry it when I know I’m going to a safe place where the odds of needing it are almost non existent. I just feel it’s better to be armed at all times and the little P32 is better than nothing. The best thing is I bought it brand new in 2001 for 125 dollars. I have shot probably 200 rounds through it and it has never once failed. I can’t say that for any of my other pistols. Even my Glock 19 is not 100 percent reliable. I have shot thousands of rounds through it and occasionally it has had its issues. Oh and by the way my Taurus GX4 has around 450-550 rounds through it without a stoppage. So don’t go hating on Taurus so much. They have really stepped up their game in the last 3 years.
I was waiting for you to admit that you love a Yeet Cannon.
The LCP 2 has the slide hold open, the original does not.
The original has a manual hold open only.
@@RickOAA yes, I forgot to mention the manual hold open. I meant to say last round hold open.
Carry a Kahr CW380 everyday. Only had jams in the first 100 rounds. The past 300 rounds have had no issue. It shoots winchester whitebox and remington green box flawlessly. Shoots Hornady Hollow points too and that’s what I keep in it.
I carry the Glock 42 every day with and ulticlip holster it’s the perfect size/weight to carry with no belt and I was able to up the capacity to 8+1 with magguts and a hyve +1 baseplate without impacting the size virtually at all
I carry a Taurus Spectrum when I need a pocket carry 500 rounds and not one hiccup
$165
But I don’t show it off
Its ok that you are on the Spectrum, i know lots of tards living awesome lifestyle.
Why two gray ones???
When someone says “don’t ask”, I can’t stop myself from doing just that.
Yeah!!.....explain yourself James!😵
Not that great of a story. I think I already had the black one and I was like, "oh shit, the gray ones are on sale for $175, Lindsay do you want one?" She's like "oh yeah, cheap purse gun, I'm in." I'm thinking it won't hurt for me to have a spare at that price. Boom, next thing you know we have 3 P3ATs in the house.
He just wanted two that matched his eyes...
My S&W air weight 642 fills this roll for me on a daily basis , it is my back up gun and my walk my dog in the dark run into a big black bear while taking the trash out or run to the corner store or mail box gun , I carry it in a pocket holster and it’s fed Sig V-Crown defense .38+P , I just can’t do the .380 thing , I’m with Clint on this one and ask Clint about the snub .38 hammerless he has some great things to say about that gun!
