Price check.....

[Palolosj]

Test fired Kel-tec p32 with box, papers two magazines $149? Good price?

 

[George P]

Sure, but have you priced 32ACP ammo?

 

[Palolosj]

Thanks, I thought it was good new cash price at Buds is >$200. I suspect ammo is little more than .380, but I will only need two boxes of 50. I'm pretty sure my Walmart has some.

 

[SharpDog]

You're gonna want to use FMJ of at least 60 gr. to avoid rimlock. I Use Fiocchi 73. gr.

Here's a bunch at $0.19 or less:

It should be a LOT more than .380 and most likely not at your Walmart - if yours does carry it, good for you!

The price is very fair I'm going to sleep on it. The only reason I want one is that it cuts down the weight of what I have by half.

That's a reasonable price. Not outstanding or terrible. If it's in nice shape, it's a pretty good deal. I paid $129 for mine, used but in good shape. But after I paid for shipping and FFL, I would have been better off at $149 face-to-face.

Winchester White Box 32acp ammo is bad doo-doo. It has some kind of flattened bullet that likes to cause jams.

I haven't had any problems with normal FMJ.

I'd probably buy a second one at that price if I came across it, particularly if it was a second-generation one (external extractor, flat-topped slide.) I love the one I already have.

Yes, .32ACP ammo is pricey, but who's gonna shoot a thousand rounds a month out of one of these? Or even half that? I'm content with a box or so at each session, using the Euro-FMJ stuff. Any more pocket-pistol practice gets done with a Taurus PT22 as a low-cost substitute.

 

[Palolosj]

The asking price is reasonable it's newest generation variant. The appeal is small size and low loaded weight. What I use now loaded weighs 1.1lb which is a drag on pant pockets.

Available at Walmart but almost $10 more than .380ACP....$24.44 for 50 Winchester 71gr loads.
Too much money. A box of 9x19 Federal Syntech Defense is only $11.47 per 20.
I didn't want to wait in front for few items I had in the cart so I bought some Federal 115gr 9x19 at $7.97 per box of 50. It worked out nicely.

My p32's eat that Winchester flat point like it was their lunch. It's ok ammo, but I think it will eventually give you a rimlock due to it's short oal length.

When it comes to cheap guns (anything under $200) I will buy it with another gun to justify the time and money of doing a transfer. Will be getting a Phoenix Arms .22 soon and there's no point driving 30 mins to do paperwork and paying $15 just for that, so something else will be bought with it.

Sometimes the timing doesn't work out tho when you're buying off gunbroker.

 

[MikeInOr]

My P32 is my most carried gun. I can't print at work and the P32 is perfect for that. Around town I will usually carry a bit bigger but all day at work the P32 is perfect for me!

I would not hesitate at $149. I think I paid $189 and never regretted it for a second.

P.s. the extended magazine is nice for practice at the range because it gives you a little more to hold onto.

I have the same piece and have carried it since 2001 and it's been flawless. I usually carry Fiochi or S&B and the first round a hollow point. I have about wore out the DeSantis pocket holster.

$149 is a fair price. If you can get a chrome slide I suggest doing so they are great for carry in humid weather. Years ago I got mine from Kel-tec. You send in your old slide and they sent me a hard chrome slide for $15, so you know it's been a while with that price.
