Other than the keltec, whats a good pocket .32??

[Opie]

My father in law is looking for a good pocket .32 for everyday carry. His line of work requires a very small gun, even a Glock 26 or Kahr MK9 would be too large.

I showed him my Keltec, but he didnt like it. I am unfamiliar with other .32s on the market so I would like some opinions on what works and what does not. He seems to like the Beretta Tomcats, but I want to make sure we dont miss other good options.

His budget is around $300.

Thanks! Opie

I highly recommend the NAA Guardian .32. I also had a KelTec .32 but sold it after owning both for a couple of years and alternately shooting/carrying them. You should be able to get a new one for close to $300 or maybe just a little more. Mike

The tomcat is a great little gun.
Mine is very reliable and very accurate for a pea shooter.
You might also check out NAA THeir Guardian 380 is abut the same size as the Tomcat and more punch.
They also make a Guardian 32 which is smaller yet.
All of the NAA's are great solid guns that are VERY reliable and if ever needed service is second to none.

NAA Gaurdian (.32 and .380)
Seecamp (expensive)
Autagua (sp?)
Kel-Tec (P-32 and P3-AT)
Beretta Tomcat

That is all I can think of right now. I have the P-32 but I wouldn't recomend it because of all the problems I have had. If I were going to buy another, it would be the Autagua because it seems well made and they are selling them cheap right now ($199).

fyi - the Tomcats are known jammers.

Not that the Kel Tecs don't need a good fluff and buff b ut once the kink is smoothed, nice guns.

I don't like their looks either but at that price, I'll Dremel and carry in my pocket.

Autauga MKII, same price as a Keltec (199 from CDNN) SMALLER than a keltec (but heavier), all stainless, and a flawless performer. Here is a pic of mine, and you cant have it, get your own.

I'd take the NAA Guardian. I don't care for the quaity of the Kel-Tecs.

My vote goes to the Guardian 32. Mine has been totally reliable. If it has a problem NAA will fix it! That is something to consider.
