How's Kel Tec 32 performing, Oleg?

Mine is great! No hang ups, easy to clean, and oh so easy to conceal. I think I may send my slide to fellow KTOGer Jack Fuselier to get it nickel plated. He does a fabulous job as is evident in my P-11's wonderful finish.

I finally learned to shoot it accurately. Have four magazines for it now. Last range trip I fired off 50 rounds of weak FN ball, 50 rounds of Fiocchi ball and 50 rounds of S&B ball. No malfunctions. Normally, I just fire off the four magazines and replace the ammo. I have, however, shot about 350 rounds once in one session. It keeps on ticking. Stayes surprsingly clean, too...
 
A lot of people say the P-32 looks and feels like a toy. However I love mine. I've not had one malfunction since I've had it. It chambers everything I've tried, but I usually use Federal Hydra-Shoks. I like the Hydra-Shoks in my .40 cal Glock, so I figured that I'd like them in .32 cal also. I was right.
I looked for over a year for a P-32 in something other than the blue finish. I couldn't find the chrome or the parkerized version. I got tired of waiting and purchased the blue. A few days after the purchase I received an e-mail from Kel-Tec stating that for $20.00 I could exchange my blue slide for a hard chrome slide. I jumped on the offer and now I have exactly what I wanted in the first place. The little Kel-Tec is a good pistol. I'm glad I added it to my little collection.

Other than one failure to feed in the 1st clip, mine has been flawless. There are times that even a j-frame is too bulky but I have yet to find an instance that the P-32 wouldn't work. Still not thrilled with the balistics but it's better than nothing. What we really need is a more potent round (9mm or .40) in something this size. It would have limited capacity (3-4 rounds) and no fun to shoot but for a carry gun, I'd get one.
 
Mine is a relatively early one (SN 3xxx) and beyond some misfires and misfeeds with the first fifty rounds of UMC ball, it has been flawless (with Fiocchi ball and Silvertips).

Got a Kramer pocket holster last week so it's actually being carried now! Guess it's time to mothball the NAA Guardian. :)

Mine is "relatively" early too- 1xx. :D

Mine had a few malfunctions between rounds 50-80 or so. Much fewer, though, than Spartacus' NAA Guardian. I took the P-32 to the range two weeks ago and put 150 rounds of FN hardball through her. There was one apparent malfunction, but I wasn't shooting at that point, so I could not verify. It looks like the piece is "breaking into" being super reliable.

It's great for those with recoil tolerance probs, too. I'm in the glasses, in the background:

Anything else?
Guns, so they can't take the freedom away!
I'll see what I can do-
And grenades, mortars, and mines, so they can't take the guns away!
 
Ball over post.

Honestly, I raise the piece to about eye level and point more than shoot. No problem getting rapid-fire (gun empty in 2 sec or less) groups easily covered by a hand at 7 yards.
 
I bought one about a week ago. I've put 100 rounds through it, mostly ball. I've had 1 FTF, no other problems. I use an Uncle Mikes front pocket holster and take it everywhere I go.
 
I have owned my chromed slide P-32 for about 3 weeks and its a keeper. I bought a Ken Campbell pocket hoster for mine and it really adds to the total concept. Mine is 100 percent reliable thus far and once you get accustomed to the trigger it will do the job. In fact I carried mine to church this morning. I consider mine the gun that you carry when you are going to be unarmed. I also use mine as a backup for my duty weapon as a LEO.

I shot my keltec for the first time. After putting about 50 rounds through it I started having failures to feed. I fieldstripped it and wiped it down and shot another 25 rounds without any problems. Anybody else experience this.
 
Me & MY P-32

1. Failed to fire about 1 round in 5. To me, looked like light firing pin strikes.
2. Call to Kel-Tec - they told me to back off on the firing-pin allen screw a turn or two. I did, no change.
3. Call to Kel-Tec - they'll send me a new firing pin.
4. New firing pin never arrived - I call them again and they sent me a new firing pin and barrel which I installed. No change.
5. I call again, they tell me to return the piece and to enclose the shipping receipt and they'll fix it and reimburse me for the UPS shipping costs (25 bucks).
6. Three weeks later, I get the P-32 back and take it to the range and try it out with three different kinds of ammo. (UMC, Sellier & Bellot, and that FN surplus stuff)

Two hundred rounds later - perfect in every respect! Well awright!

btw, seems that the S&B ammo is the most accurate of the lot.

regards to all...

And they indeed sent me a check for the 25 bucks.
