Kel-Tec P-3AT with Crimson Trace Laserguard
This configuration couples the ultra-compact Kel-Tec P-3AT .380 ACP pistol with the Crimson Trace LG-430 Laserguard. The LG-430 was specifically engineered for the P-3AT (and P-32) platform to address the challenge of aiming a pocket pistol with rudimentary sights under high stress. The unit attaches seamlessly to the trigger guard, placing a laser diode immediately below the muzzle for improved low-light sighting without significantly altering the pistol's profile.
Key Features
Instinctive Activation: The defining feature of the Crimson Trace Laserguard. A pressure switch is located on the front strap of the grip (under the trigger guard). The laser activates automatically when the shooter establishes a firm, natural firing grip, requiring no separate mechanical switch manipulation.
Seamless Integration: The polymer housing of the LG-430 is contoured to match the P-3AT's frame texture and lines, ensuring it does not snag during the draw.
Enhanced Sighting: The P-3AT is known for having very low-profile, machined-in sights that can be difficult to see in dark or dynamic situations. The laser projects a bright dot (typically red) on the target, allowing for "point shooting" without needing to align the eye behind the slide.
Adjustability: The laser unit is user-adjustable for both windage (horizontal) and elevation (vertical), allowing the point of aim to be zeroed to the ammunition being used.
Battery Efficiency: Powered by a single 1/3N lithium battery (or two 357 silver oxide batteries), providing approximately four hours of continuous runtime.
Specifications (Combined System)
Platform: Kel-Tec P-3AT
Laser Model: Crimson Trace LG-430
Caliber: .380 ACP
Capacity: 6+1 Rounds
Combined Weight: ~8.5 oz (Unloaded)
Laser Output: 5mW Peak, 633nm, Class 3R Red Laser
Activation: Front-located pressure pad
Dot Size: Approx. 0.50" at 50 feet
Holster Compatibility: Requires holsters specifically molded to accommodate the "P-3AT with Laserguard" profile.
Common Applications
Low-Light Defense: Ideal for scenarios where identifying the sights is impossible due to darkness.
Non-Standard Shooting Positions: Allows the shooter to aim effectively even if they cannot bring the gun up to eye level (e.g., firing from the hip or while on the ground).
Dry-Fire Training: The laser provides immediate visual feedback on trigger control; if the dot streaks across the wall when the trigger breaks, the shooter knows they are pulling the gun off target.
Training Note: For instructors, Ring's Manufacturing produces a specific "Blue Gun" replica of this exact configuration (Part # FSKTP3ATCT) to allow for safe holster fitting and retention drills with the laser profile.
