How much have you shot your Kel-tec ?

[Bowlcut]

From what Ive heard most of the Nashville Metro officers carry a P32 as last ditch gun. It looks pretty sturdy, I dont own one ****YET**** but I will. Price is right and dad is looking for a pocket pistol. Think I might just have to buy a pair, and give him on being the good son that I am....

I'd wait for the keltec 3AT (380ACP) version personally. It's the same size with a better and cheaper round

"here we go again........."

My P32 (early ser #035xx) was box stock. I put about 1,000 rounds through it and used any and every type of ammo made for it. It was flawless. I even tried to cross it up by stoking mags with as many as 3 completely different ammo types. Still perfect.

Kel-Tec, for my money, makes the most innovative, affordable, mass-produced firearms in the industry today. They're especially adept at making small, lightweight guns that are reliable and durable. I'ved owned the P11 and P32 and am eagerly awaiting the rollout of their new P-3AT, which I anticipate will be another winner.

I carried my P32 for three straight years and never had any apprehensions about it's ability to go BANG, over-and-over.

I've put ~two or three hundred rounds through my P-32...

Mostly Fiocchi 73gr FMJ's. But a lot of Gold Dots and Silvertips too. My P-32 is an old one. Ser #078XX. It's pretty nice. Gray grip frame, hard chrome upper, silver metal trigger shoe, smooth extractor. I like it. I purchased a DeSantis "Pistol Rug" which has a strap to hold a spare magazine. 12 rounds on tap. Thin, light, I keep it in my flight bag. And NO it doesn't go on the airliners. It goes with me as I fly myself. Nearly forgot it was in my bag.

I've got about 300 rounds thru mine. I had a few FTFs at first but it's doing okay now.

In the last 6 months

Ive put between 500 and 1000 32 rounds through my p-32. I usually put at least a box of 50 through the gun each range sesson. As far as the expense of the ammo, i found it online for 5.49 a box, for some german 73 grain ammo, which makes it a little cheaper than 9mm for me.

I have at least 600+ rounds through my P-11 9mm and its just as tight as the day I bought it. Excellent little shooter!


These guns are inexpensive, not cheaply made. The materials and design are good.

First (very early) P32 has a slide crack at 1200 and frame crack at 1500 rounds. Kel-tec replace the gun with a new one.

Second I've fired around 900 times before gifting it, no wear noted and the gun has had about 100 more through it since.

Third I've fired about 600 times and expect it to last much longer -- QC and design have been improved notably by Kel-Tec. I'll shoot mine as much as necessary to stay proficient (about 20 rounds per week, on average)
