I have been looking for one of these things for a while now and I swear they have disappeared. Why are they so rare? KelTec needs to make more of these dang things. Anyone know where I could find one? |

I have one, and its been with me for 15+ years. A buddy has been looking for one for a long time too. Debated replacing with a ruger lcp .22 for ammo availability. Not sue the juice is worth the squeeze. Wish they would update the p32, but i doubt its a real money maker for them. Updated usuable sights and a better trigger is all I want, but moar rounds and an updated design would be nice. |

Extremely reliable and the combination of the usable sights and trigger allow very fast surgical precision at close range. |

I bought the only one I have seen in my area, that was close to 12-13 years ago. Still have it, it's the perfect jeans gun. It barks a bit but that's all the better. It rotates with the .380's from time to time. I wanted to see how it would do in wood so I put 3 1" pieces of heavy sap wood together and shot them at about 10-15'. 2 of the three went through all of them, the last one went 3/4 of the way through. Good enough for me. |

It took me 3 years to find a deal on one. New ones were $400+. Some guy wanted $300+ in a pawn shop. Guns was beat up and had dried blood in it. Finally I walked into my lgs and there it was in the used case for $130. Mine. Attached File |

| I have one, it has its place. For summer carry it can work and as one of GD's favorite athletes, a cyclist, they are perfect for carry in a jersey pocket. Best for pit bull attacks. When I run, I carry a 365, which is a better overall choice. |

I found a shop in Raymond, ME listing one and bought it directly from them. Not the only time I've used GB to find then buy direct. A shop in NC currently has one listed. |

Yes they are back, great news for those of us who know what the .32 will do. When I got mine I took it out and from 7yds put a magazine full of 32, into a 3" pitch pine board which is harder than hell to go through, that works for me. There is a very good blog on "The maglife" blog, (2-9-24) about the gen2. I am thinking about trading off a like new Ruger EC9S for another P32. Yes, I like them that much. |
