I've been reading about this Kel Tec P-32. Anybody know anything about these guns. Are they reliable. I read someone saying that they are better made than a seecamp and 1/2 the price. Is there any truth to this. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Im always looking for that PERFECT pocket pistol!!
 
I have had my P-32 for several months. I initially had a problem with the slide not completely going into battery and the trigger not resetting quickly enough. I sent it back to Kel-Tec and now it works flawlessly. It feeds everything I give it and I now carry it almost everywhere. It's perfect with shorts and a T-shirt in this hot Atlanta weather. I carry it in a Jagwear pocket holster sometimes but mostly using the optional belt clip. Quite accurate at 7-10 yards, very little recoil. I had the slide nickel plated. Believe it or not I have used this little jewel to shoot bowling pins competitively and had very respectable results. This pistol gets a lot of attention when anyone sees it. They are very hard to find now as production is trying to catch up to the demand. If you find one, grab it! I paid $209 for mine.

Apart from the fact that any firearm carried is better than none, do you feel you can really stop an attack with one or two shots to the torrso? Is expansion and penetration reliable?
 
Not just a good buy, but the best buy in class. I have shot it against the Guardian and the Seecamp and I much prefer it. Of course the sights are poor (expected) but the accuracy is very good, even in rapid fire. Easy to carry and conceal. Constant companion!

I have one and had the same problem with the slide not going into battery. Got it fixed with turn-around under a week...they fluffed&buffed the trigger, too. Accurate, TINY, light, low recoil, well-made. I got three magazines for it and done some testing. Great gun. Uncle Mike's pocket holster is a bit tight but this is perfect http://www.detnet.com/fuselier/HOLSTERS.HTML Locked breech design means low recoil and much easier racking than blowback designs (it has no more recoil than GF's Walther .32 and is easier to rack). P32 works with all .32 ammo except surplus FN wadcutters (many light strikes and the duds are hard to eject). Based on reliability (100% with ammo other than FN) and handling, I heartily recommend it. And it is a bargain. For size, see pics at http://dd-b.net/olegv/north
 
I love mine.Over 500 rds. of ball and hollow pt ammo thru it without a stutter. I carry it every day and love it . it'll even fire with pocket lint in/on it! A great buy at 250.00.
