I have a P32 that I really want to like, but in the first 200 rounds (PMC) i have several light primer strikes.  Maybe hard primers, but i dont like it.

Just looked at a few cases today and noticed bulges in all of them. I know it partially unsupported in that chamber but live rounds drop in and are very loose and wiggly in the chamber.

Normal for p32 or chamber out of spec?

I have two P32s, one I bought used, and it had light primer strikes.  I pulled out the firing pin from both and compared.  The troublesome one was too short.  I called KT and they sent a new firing pin for free and it solved the problem.

Do the cases extract without problems?
Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

General education should not be mere job training, but training in how to be fully human.

Yes the gun appears to function fine except for those misfires.

Uh, I wonder if your chamber is actually 380? Do you have a 380 round you can drop into the chamber, just to see if it fits? If its not headspacing correctly because its actually 380 chamber, and the extractor is all thats holding it, that may explain the light primer strikes as well.

Looking at your picture again, thats kinda far up the case for a feed ramp to account for that. Thats a chamber issue, whether its a 380 chamber or not.
