I carry the P32 on a regular basis when I cannot discretely carry my larger G42. It meets the most important minimum requirement of have a gun with you not back at home. It is also much more of gun than any similar size .22 or .25.
 
I often carry a Kel-Tec P3AT .380 in my hip pocket behind my billfold.
Which is (the P3AT) almost exactly the same size as a P-32.

Go big or go home I always say!!! :D

PS: I think the P-32 does have a better track record of out-of-the-box reliability though.
My early P3AT took a lot of tuning before it was 100% reliable.
And they are definitely harder to shoot.

I've carried my P32 almost every day (when not at work) for a good number of years. If I'm going someplace with a generally higher risk factor I can upgrade to whatever level I feel comfortable. I have never felt unarmed with the P32.
 
Mine is the 380 version. I carry it often and it has been perfectly reliable.
 
During yard work, that's all I ever carry. 8 rounds of plain-jane Fiocchi 73gr FMJ should buy me the time I need to get to a carbine or shotgun should I need more. Away from home, not so much these days. The least I feel comfortable with when alone is my Sig P238HD and my M&P 40c or XDm 3.8 (.45acp) when my wife and child are in tow.

Heck, even on those days I carry the. 380 when out by myself, there's always a Bersa UC9 (such an underrated pistol) in a lockbox bolted underneath my seat.

As a bachelor, I did carry my P32 quite a bit as my primary and felt just fine doing so.

I carry mine in a pocket while traveling to and from my no-carry work site, and have no qualms with it.

That being said, it's a little too small for me to carry on the belt; just not enough grip to grab, so my non-working carry gun is something I can get more purchase on, and it's usually a PF9.

I don't have a definition figured out yet of "minimum requirements." Any gun you carry will be "enough", or "more than enough", unless it becomes "not enough."

Everyday. eight plus years. Front right pocket in a pocket holster. Goes bang when I pull the trigger. Beats my service pistols in the safe at home every time. I do wish it had better sights, but for the seven yards and in I am most likely to ever need it for ( and that not likely either) what it has for sights will do.

I find I can carry the P32 even when my back is badly out. My chiropractor has seen my P32 a few times.

I still occasionally carry 'serious" pistols, but always carry the P32. Even had it at church yesterday.( Let he that is without a sword sell his cloak and buy one. In red letters yet.) Only don't carry it where I am not supposed to carry.

I like the kt p32, it didn't kick as much as the p3at. wish I never sold it.
 
I have a P3AT that I carry from time to time in my right front pocket. Have a DeSantis Nemesis holster for it and hardly even know it's there most of the time.
