#8536 - Kel Tec P32 Review

Let me start by saying I am in no way a "Gun Expert" but am merely a legal gun owner who enjoys a nice weapon when I see one. With that said, I'll move on to my observations about the Kel Tec P32.

Right out the box I realized some features amazingly different about this gun. At only 6.6ozs and just over 5 inches in length this gun fits like a wallet in the back pocket. When placed in the front pocket there's not much difference between it and a cellphone. The rounded edges prevent any sort of "snagging" that can occur with other guns. Also, this gun is SUPER thin. 0.75"!!

When compared to the NAA Guardian .32 my vote goes to the Kel Tec P32. The Guardian comes in at 13.5ozs(unloaded) making it nearly twice as heavy. Also, the Kel Tec comes in not only thinner but offers half the weight in trigger pull as the Guardian. Kel Tec has a 5lb trigger pull while the Guardian comes in at 10lbs.

I put 50 rounds of generic hardballs through this gun. This gun is "tight" out the box and will obviously perform "smoother" after a good break in.(As is with all guns) There were no misfeeds or misfires. I slow fired, and rapid fired with no problems. This gun was easy to "point and shoot". 15-20 yards and it was on target.

Finally, I wouldn't recommend this gun for an all out fire fight but if you're looking for something that can be perfectly concealed, very lightweight, You might want to take a look at the Kel Tec P32 for up close and personal protection. Not a bad bargain either at $259.00

Nice Review. I've been thinking of getting the P32 to keep in my pocket as well.

Not bad. I need a smaller weapon to carry in the summer. This just might be it. Thanks.

I have the kel tec 380 and have probably shot 200 rounds through it with no problems. I carry it concealed everywhere I go in my back pocket and it has never been noticed. Seen a great article in guns & ammo about it and decided to go and buy it about 2 years ago. Perfect gun to be carried concealed and or for a woman. I bought it originally for my wife but she would not keep it with her.

These things are hard to find in a 380. Have to get from internet pretty much and its on back order.

I just purchased a Kel-Tec 9mm last month and I'm very impressed with it.
