I have a well used Kel tec p3at. I have put many rounds through it getting comfortable with the double action only trigger pull, recoil, and not accidentially bumping the magazine release. The last 2 times I cleaned it, I needed to cycle about a dozen cartridges through it, as I would initially have what appeared to be a failure to feed, which was remedied by tapping the magazine, which would get the slide back to the ready position and chamber the round. I cycled both winchester whitebox and speer gold dots though it today, to try to make sure it was not a specific type of ammo giving me trouble. I went a little heavier on the lube today, to see if that would help. While firing it today at the range, I had two failure to feeds which were not remedied by tapping the magazine. The spring looks pretty flimsy compared to a glock spring, so I am not sure if a new spring may be in order. The slide always seemed a bit stiff, but I had the same experience with a new p3at. Does this sound like I need the feed ramp polished? If so, how much does that usually cost?
