Had my P-32 for a few weeks now. So far, so good. I REALLY like the gun.
I noticed when a friend shot it that it tended to jam or FTE. It was OK when I shot it. It appears to be sensitive to limp-wristing. I suppose that is to be expected in a semi-auto that is that light.
For what I wanted, the P-32 seems about perfect for me.

I've had my P32 for 1 year this month. Had the hard-chrome upgrade done (I had it back in my hands 3 days after I mailed it to them ... how'd they do that?).
I've shot about 1000 rounds through mine and have never had a single jam or misfeed. I shoot Fiocchi (ball) ammo. It just shoots first time, every time.
Damn, it sounds like I'm describing one of my beloved Glocks!
Anyway, mine has been pretty darn reliable.

Telewinz,
I forgot to mention ...
You don't say where you live but $265 seems really steep for a P32. I see them NIB at gun shows all the time for $200-$215 here in Texas.

I live in SE Ohio and rarely over the years have I been able to get a great deal on buying a firearm. I go to the the gun shows and such but around here they start there prices about $50 over fair value. Got a Colt Trooper MKIII 3 months ago at a show and had to wheel & deal just to get it for $350. Got my used P-11 for $190 and the dealer thought he was giving up his 1st born son. I keep looking for the drunk laying in the gutter who is willing to sell his Python for a bottle of wine. In 30 years I have't had any luck, life is hard

Telewinz---Buckeye Outdoors in Buckeye Lake has P32 for $219 so does T & K guns in S. Zanesville
I've had mine for over TWO years
Thus far, mine has approx 700-800 rounds through it, primarily Winchester Silvertips, Fiocchi 73 FMJ's and CorBon 60 gr JHP's. I have had only ONE malfunction: a fail to feed with one Fiocchi FMJ.
My serial is 035xx........don't know what they are at at present.
Mine is absolutely box-stock, other than polishing the feedramp.
I keep thinking about selling it but cannot bring myself to do it because it is easily the most comfortable and concealable gun I have.
Yeh, it's a keeper, until someone comes alone with a smaller, lighter, more powerful item and that's probably not going to happen.

I've owned one for over two years now. When I first brought it I had to send it back for Kel-Tec to replace the trigger bar as it was mal-functioning. After I got it back it has functioned reliably. My wife just brought one yesterday. Unfortunately, its a jamomatic. We will be sending it in for repair on Monday. I am confident that Kel-Tec will repair it in a timely manner and that it too will work fine after they do. FWI. I think another poster is correct, $265.00 sounds very high for this pistol. We paid $204.00 for my wife's and I paid $157.00 for mine two years ago.

I don't have a chrome slide. I just plan to use the P-32 as it is and not get the chrome slide until I decide I need it. If it is just a swap, could I wait until I see the beginning of corrosion (IF that happens) and send it to KEL-TEC then or would KEL-TEC likely pronouce the slide damaged and make me pay for a new slide? Any ideas?
