A few years ago, I went to a large LGS looking for a P32. The dealer said he didn’t have any, but there was a defective P3AT I could have cheap. I like to tinker, so I got it for $75 out the door. At the range, I found it wouldn’t hit the primer hard enough to ignite.
At home, I found there was a big kink in the hammer spring. One call to Keltec, and a new hammer and hammer spring assembly was sent, free…
Carried that P3AT for a couple years, and it functioned fine. Still, I wanted a P32. The guys on the keltec forum seemed to really like them. Plus, having an extra round in the mag, and having the slide lock back after the last round, it has advantages.
Found one on Armslist just before the pandemic, sold by a local LEO.
This little pistol is just great. So thin and light, yet shoots really well. I only wish it had real sights. I’ve toyed with the idea of drilling a hole at the front sight nub, and mounting a tritium shotgun bead.
Anyway, I load it up with some milspec S&B euro spec FMJ, which it likes very much.
