Anybody else have any problems with thier p32 slide not locking back?  I figure its the mag, but this is a brand new pistol and mag.

I don't own a P-32, but have tried several 2G at gun stores/shows that didn't lock back.  The discussion I read on the problem seemed to focus on the follower in the mag and debris in the locking mechanism.  I suggest inspecting/cleaning up those areas first.  If not, try the KTrange or call the Kel-Tec factory for advice.

Mine does the same effing thing. I've tried every fix you can imagine to no avail.

I just live with it now...

With empty mag after inserted with the slide closed?
I found mine locks back everytime when at the range but to get it to lock back when empty i need to hold the slide back and insert the mag, then pull the slide back after it locks and push down on the follower to let the slide go forward, then you can rack the slide and it will lock back.

I think this is a known problem with P32s.  I ended up sending mine back and the replaced the slide stop and spring.

The problem seems to be with 2G P-32s early in the production run.  Some seem to not lock back, others are fine.  The ones that have come in with more recent orders from the distributors seem to all work fine, but that is just my impression from handling them in gunstores/gunshows, and reading on the forums.
