Well I fixed the problem I took off the bottom floor plate and sanded it down so it would go just a little farther in and they now lock in place.

How do they function? Did they cost less than the factory mags? Keltec quoted me $21 or so, but that's plus shipping. If my dealer had them, they would be $25- $30( for the factory mags). I'd thought about getting the Meggars; as you say, they make the ones for the Keltec factory.

I saw somewhere about somebody having to do that with the factory mag as well.

I bought an extra factory mag from Kel Tec for my p11. Didn't have to modify anything, but that's just my experience. BTW, Kel Tec customer service is superb.

If you have a P3AT and have had the unfortunate and scary experience to have to use your pistol, and have exhausted the cartridges already in your magazine and gun, I would think that an additional magazine in this situation is a moot point and very wishful thinking --considering the circumstances you have probably been totally disabled one way or the other. I can appreciate purchase of additional magazines for target and practice shooting. Hey to each his own--if it makes you feel better or more confidant than pimp the gun with a laser, with a light, colorize it etc etc and buy more mags but being a realist, I feel (my opinion which certainly can be disputed) the gun is what it is--a close-in, mouse gun for pocket self protection, where its use is over almost before any confrontation started.
