Analysis

KelTec introduced the PR-3AT at SHOT Show 2026 as a new .380 Auto pocket pistol that pairs the rotating-barrel locked-breech system from the PR-57 with a top-loading fixed internal magazine. The design drops the detachable magazine so the frame can stay under an inch wide while still holding 13+1 rounds. It is the current .380 Auto companion to the earlier P3AT line, which used a conventional detachable magazine. Production is ongoing in Black, Green, and Tan frames. A shorter 10+1 version also exists as separate shorter frame configuration.
