Any (other) Kel-Tec P32 and Taurus TCP owners here?

LoL. Ironically, I just now won an auction for a used P32. $156 didn't seem bad. :)
 
Only ammo that ever rimlocked my P-32 was that junk White box Winchester with the flat nose . Its same OAL as most HP. Carry S&B ball and press on. I have one mag set up for HP But seldom carry it. Their are 4 P-32 in my house.

You can load HP chamber Mag all ball except for top round that can be HP also . no rimlock problem 2 HP shots then ball
 
I paid $200 for this, with the zipper case, two mags, belt clip, Maglula loader, and a mix of Fiocchi, S&B, and Silvertip ammo. The owner's an old friend of mine who's had to stop shooting due to age. I'm not sure he ever carried the gun or fired it more than once.

That white box 32acp ammo is terrible. It managed to jam up several 32 autos my buddy and I were shooting. I had foolishly bought a few boxes of it and ended up shooting most of it out of my 32 magnum revolvers.
 
I have both and carry the P32 more than not. I can't find a good pocket holster for the Taurus. I have tried two or three but they end up feeling like a stiff book in my pants pocket. I bought the little keltec 16 yrs. ago and sent the original slide back to keltec for a chrome slide and it's been perfect for hot summers in the south.
 
I've had both but I had the TCP in .32acp, not 380. I no longer have the Keltec. The TCP is much better.
 
I treat the P32 like I used to treat a Star PD. The PD had ammo issues with anything other than FMJ Hard ball so I kept the magazine full of that and what ever HP I was using in the 1911's in the barrel for that first shot.

The KT P32 has a Silver tip up the snout and a mag full of FMJ RN.

I've owned and carried a Keltec P32 since mid-2006. I've had zero negative issues with it and runs like a top. With the belt-clip and a 10-round magazine, it is the one I carry when I can't carry anything else.

No experience with the Taurus offering though.

Ditto
Top of that, the stuff would feed or eject reliably either.
 
Just to add,
I have been collecting and shooting .32 acp pistols for 30+ years.
Hollowpoints are a waste of money in this caliber.
Most don't expand and if they do they don't penetrate well.
I have stuck with full metal jacket and rely on the hotter European versions.

Fiocci, Sellier and Bellot, GECO, and RWS are best if you can find some.
