White Kel-Tec p32?

[WestKentucky]

I ran across a Kel-Tec p-32 that appears to be a white or cream colored frame that has been painted black. Price is not bad for the condition and I legitimately like the little gun. I just can’t figure out the white/cream/whatever. If it was rattlecanned as I suspect it to have been, would the paint have soaked into the plastic? Will stippling on white (once cleaned up) change the color where I work the polymer? I think I’m going to buy it next time I’m in the shop assuming it’s still there, I just got caught off guard by the way it looks.

You can buy a new grip frame from KT directly for $34 if you want to change it, they have four colors available.

I had good luck with the P-32 reliability wise. Over time I ended up gravitating to a j-frame for EDC, but enjoyed the P-32 a bunch when I carried it.

I justice how that line is crafted.

I had one in a desert tan color, new from the factory and the color on the frame looked to be molded in, and the slide cerakoted. It was a great pocket pistol, wish I still had it, never a failure to feed nor failure to eject, mine was very reliable.

I have a P32. I also have a green SU-16c. Kel-Tec cerakotes the colored frames. If your white P32 is a factory color, its cerakote.

The comment about a P32 being a jam-o-matic sounds as if the poster doesn't understand 32acp rimlock. It can be avoided completely by choosing the correct bullet type.

I wouldn't get it cause its a 32, the make and color are the least of the problems.

When making the choice between P-32 and P-3AT I chose the 32 for a couple reasons. First you get 7+1 rounds, and the slide locks back on an empty chamber...neither of which the 380 offers. The 32 with ball isn't much different than 380 in the penetration dept and I found the smaller rounds a bit easier to hit accurately with, though neither gun fits in my hand worth a darn and are difficult to shoot well. Their primary function is to be carried when everything else is too big to be concealed and at this they do very nicely.

32 is the only reason I’m considering it.

I have a gray frame on one of my P32's. It will probably go to one of my children. I carry a plain black frame with a chrome slide and have never had a hiccup with mine for 17 yrs.

There was a pink frame P32 that stayed in the display case at the local gun/pawn establishment for nearly a year and the price just kept going down on it. It was about to break under $100 where I intended to make an offer and then disappeared. I asked about it and one of the guys pointed to another shop employee and it was on his hip. He had done what I had planned, buy it and paint it black.

I had joked to my wife I was going to buy it for her and she had a fit. "You better not ever buy me a pink gun. I want gray, black or nickel but NEVER get me a pink one or I will shoot you with it!"

I'm pretty sure I've made this exact post before, possibly word for word.
