Kel-Tec P32

[OK Corgi Rancher]

I picked up this little Kel-Tec at All Pawn & Surplus in McAlester a couple of weeks ago. I'd been looking for one...for a reasonable price...for a long time. This one looked pretty rough when I got it and the magazine catch needed replacing. But, I got it for a song: so, I got it home, ordered a new mag catch, took it apart, cleaned it (this may have been the dirtiest, nastiest gun - internally - that I've ever seen), did a quick cold-blue finish on the slide, hit the barrel with some 0000 steel wool, got the new mag catch, reassembled it and here it is.

The little thing probably looks as good as new (we all know Kel-Tec's finish on some of their guns leaves a little to be desired) and works perfectly now.

I'm happy with the results. Before and After:

Looks good. I found a used one in excellent condition some time ago for what I thought was a decent price to shoot some ammo I'd ran across. And since the ACP ammo fires in my revolver but accuracy is out the window, the P32 is quite accurate at the 10 yd range.

I really like mine, have carried it for a long long time.

I carry mine quite a bit. Loaded up with Buffalo Bore 75gr hard cast flat nose.

I have a P3AT that I carry when I need something that size. It's virtually the same size as the P32...and it's a .380, so there's that.

The P3AT is on the right. It's maybe a 1/16" longer and just about 2 oz heavier.

Took the P32 out to function check. Worked perfectly with Prvi FMJ ammo.

14 rounds in just about 2 3/4" from 7 yards. Good enough for an 8oz pocket pistol.

Looks great! I have two of them , one for me and the other for the wife. I’ve carried mine for years and still do. Great little pistols. I heard keltec has quit making them. Does anyone know if that’s true?

They discontinued the P3AT in 2022. As far as I know they still make the P32 and it's still on their website.

I just like Kel-Tec guns in general.

Wish they still were making the 10 round magazines as they were a better fit for my hand, not really a big deal though. I do see that they now have a 1 round extension available, might give it a try.

I had one of those that I let a "friend" borrow and never saw it again.... I did buy me a pocket pistol today.... a New Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0....
