If they made one would it sell?
Same platform as the P32 and P3AT but in .22 cal. Is it possible?
They might have to use a different name though since Walther uses P22.

I've been calling for a .22 Mag on the P-32 platform since the P-32 came out. I'd like about 1" more barrel, and adjustable sights.

A 15 round 22lr the size of a P-32...I would buy one.

...A tad more barrel and a set of good sights would be a great plinker...I'd get one, but I'm definately NOT a major fan of .22mag for that kind of pistol, especially when CCI Stingers cost less than half as much as mags, and at the ranges that pistol would be effective at, would work every bit as well. Shoot, I bought my Hi-Point carbine because I can buy 9mm ammo cheaper than most .22mags!

I wouldn't buy one. Don't like small autos in rim fire, not reliable. The .22 is NOT an auto pistol round and the smaller the pistol the more problems it seems to have. I would not trust my life to one as a primary regardless even if it was 100 percent reliable. Self defense starts around .380 ACP with me. It might be useful, though, to the guy with a P32 or P3AT for cheap practice. I could see one in that roll.
JMHO of course.

Go buy a PT22 Taurus if U want one that size.
W/ the sights, I don't think it would sell. And, U generally don't see doublestack 22 mags - there must be a reason why no one does this - feeding issues...

I wasnt talking about trusting your life to it. Just for practice and plinking.
Dont need double stack mags either.
10 rounds would be enough.
As for 22mag, I dont think that would fly. Simply because the balistics and cost of ammo would be comparable to 32acp. That and its just not popular.
I was referring to 22lr. Cheap practice, cheap plinking, cheap fun.
Oh and the taurus pt22 is no where near as thin as the little Kel-tec.

No. I'd buy a Ruger Mark II or Mark III. They are reliable. But, I would not use it for CCW.

Well, the Taurus PT22 in 22 LR is about the same size - just fatter because of the wooden grips. All I can suggest.
After a while, U will tired of it, though... Get a Walther P22 if ya want something kewl.

Yes, I believe 2 models need to be considered by Keltec and they would sell.
I firmly believe shooting a .22 as similar as can to a centerfire improves one's shooting with that platform, be it handgun , or rifle.
1. P-11 size
2. P-32/P3AT size
These two offerings would provide quality practice with less expensive ammo, less perceived recoil, thus allowing for better shooting with Centerfire of similar platform.
In additon, these two offerings could serve as Field guns, Plinkers, and there is the Fun Factor.
One thing I wish Keltec would offer on all handguns - lanyard rings.
Granted most folks CCW these in Urban Settings - still many folks do use these in Farm, Ranch, Field, Woods and even around Water, such as canoeing, rafting, fishing...
Electrical tape works with a pc of cord around the grip ...has not failed me yet. :)
