Danny Kedwell scored twice from the spot as Gillingham left it late to beat 10-man Plymouth.
The game was goalless 15 minutes from time when Ben Gibson was given a second yellow card for handling in the box and Kedwell converted the penalty.
Substitute Luke Rooney lashed home to make it 2-0 before Kedwell scored his second spot kick in injury time after Simon Walton brought down Dennis Oli.
Winless Plymouth's best chance came from Luke Daley's deflected shot.
VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Gillingham boss Andy Hessenthaler told BBC Radio Kent:
"I said at half time we are going to have to be patient with this one. They played one up front and five across the midfield and stopped us from creating and you have got to give them credit.
"There was a turning point in there and it went in our favour. We got the penalty, Keds got his first goal which I am delighted with.
"We got the second goal, we then looked comfortable. A good win, it keeps the run going so we're delighted with the start so far."
Plymouth Argyle boss Peter Reid told BBC Radio Devon:
"The first goal changed the game with the sending off and then we had to change shape.
"A big striker or a bit of pace and stature up front, we haven't got it at the moment.
"No use feeling sorry for ourselves."
