Seecamp questions

[Bob79]

First off, I assume from what I have read here they are reliable and well made correct? I belieive they have been making them for a long time.

Are the CNC-ing them now? What were they doing before?

Has anyone used other ammo then the silvertips and had success with it?

Does anyone have any info on when the .380's are gonna be a little cheaper? It just seems insane that they .32 is about $450 and I believe they want $900 for a .380!?!?!

Also where else can u get one besides seecamp32.com???

I'm sorry for all the questions, I'm going nutz on finding a CCW carry weapon, and I'm leaning towards the seecamp, .32 is better than nothing, and if the gun is too big I won't carry it. I have ruled out Kel-Tec, .32 NAA is about same as .32 seecamp (but bigger/heavier), NAA .380 way too heavy, Rohrbaugh costs too much, and Tomcat is a little big, although to me its my second choice.

Can't answer all of your questions, but...

I have one, and it is very well made. It has been reliable for me. I personally have only used Silvertips, but I have heard of others successfully using Hornady.

I got mine at a gun show.

I carry it in a pocket holster. It's very heavy, but it's stainless, so that's a given. I think it's a good choice for a BUG or primary when you can't carry a "real" gun.

Right now its all I carry...back pocket in an Azrael pocket holster..its all the armed citizen needs....

I use silvertips..

I will be getting the 380s tho dont want one myself...

Seecamps are all cnc machined...they are smaller caliber Rohrbaughs

Chipperman/Wild Alaska

Chipperman, you say that the pistol is heavy? The info I saw said it weighed only 11.5 oz, is that correct? I had an Airlite that was the same weight (if it is in fact 11.5oz) and that didn't seem heavy at all.

Wild Alaska, you said you will be getting the .380? You mean to sell? If you are, are the going for $900? Also is it true they will have the exact same dimensions at the .32? Seems to me the gun would have to be at least slightly larger to account for the bigger caliber. Also you said you wouldn't want one, what is your reason(s)?

Thanks for the info guys, any other info that anyone else has is very welcome, especially in the area of the RELIABILITY and my options on places to get them from.

p.s. are there any pinky extensions for them?

 

[Wildalaska]

Hi I have 5 or 6 380s on order...dont want one myslef since I have a 32 and am getting a Rohrbaugh...

We will be selling the 380s for about $749 I think

Seecamp has been making them with CNC machinery for a good number of years now. The owners manual says Sivlertips only but Larry Seecmamp has said some other ammo like Gold Dots JHP is fine also. Prices have fallen considerable with the introduction of the KT P-32 and NAA Guardian. They used to have a 2+ year waiting period and $500-700 price range due to their scarcity. Now you can get one in the low to mid $400s.

I love my Seecamp,it is my constant companion.
I have never had a failure with Silvertips or CorBons.
Carries nicely in a Hedley front pocket holster.

Where to Buy???

Is seecamp32.com just about the only place I can order a .32 from? Everytime I try to search that's all I find, is that a good dealer?

Also, are these dimensions right from the above website-11.5oz, .72 for slide thickness (.91 @ grips), 4.25 length, & 3.25 in height?

Thanks also for the info thus far.

I bought a "new in sealed box" Seecamp LWS32 on http://www.gunbroker.com, for under $400 shipped. Or you can go to http://www.tannerssportcenter.com/, that's where mine came from via Gunbroker.

I have one and IMHO it is a very well made easily concealed pistol.

Mine is carried in a Kramer pocket holster.

I have used only Silvertips but have never had a failure.

It's an excellent weapon for its intended purpose.

 

[Bob79]

I got one on order

Well I'm in the processing of getting my seecamp .32

I found it at gunbroker.com after it was posted here, THANKS. And it is $390 plus $20 for shipping, and an extra mag is $45 (gotta have @ least 2 mags). My local dealer is gonna charge me $30 for the whole transfer (taxes, background, & fee) not too bad (-:

I was serious contemplating the Rohrbaugh, but I didn't because 1.) cost-$950 vs. $390 2.) reliability-they've been making them for a long time and I hear almost all good things about them 3.) size-I know the Rohrbaugh is no brick, but its still smaller. I had a Tomcat once, and of all the CCW guns I had I did carry that most often because of the size.

Downside is Caliber of course, but I figure since its so small I'll have no reason not to have it with me, and a .32 cal is better than NO cal.

Well thats what I did, and now I have a FIST IWB holster on order for it.

Bob also check oiut a pocket holster, I carry mine in one made by Azrael (hes on the Board) and its the nicest carrying method I found yet

Holster/Mag extension?

Wild Alaska...I can't stand having stuff in my pockets though, I have a wallet, keys, and eye drops, thats it. When I had my Tomcat I carried it same way, IWB, on my right side, and I hardly noticed it was there. But thanks for the info.

Also do you or anyone know if there is a pinky extension for the mag? Or is that impossible with the euro mag release? This is my first gun with the euro mag release so I don't know.

Thanks.
