The P-3AT is a locked breech, double action only, .380 ACP pistol introduced by Kel-Tec in 2003 and based on the P-32. The frame is made of polymer with an aluminum insert, and the slide and barrel are steel. It is the lightest production .380 ACP pistol in the world,[4] weighing only 8.3 oz (240 g) empty, and is roughly the same size as many .22 and .25-caliber pistols.
