Title: My new toy
Post by: tombogan03884 on April 02, 2010, 02:45:25 PM
Well, now that I'm back to work I can spend like a drunk sailor.  (I'll need a second opinion from Crusader Rabbit or Deepwater   ;D  )

Very good class of pistol.  You will find you will carry it more than any other gun you own.

If you have not already found this site, you should take a look at the Kel-Tec Fluff and Buff procedure.

As another joins the Kel-Tec group, check out goldenloki.com. He is the KT guru. Also get the mag extensions. Watch pt. #112, the extractor piece that can run off on the left side of the frame with the slide removed.

It just sits in there. The F+B is easily done, and does wonders... Mine has given me NO issues in almost two years, even though it's the .380.

Great pocket pistol.

Congratulations.!!!

Just looking at the Kel Tec website, has any one tried the 10 round P32 Mags ?

Little easier to carry than the 1911 isn't it! Good for you! Waiting one more paycheck to order up a pf9 or Taurus slim 9 for myself...

Did you go to Carolina She's Porters littleliefest last night?

Cheers,
Scott

I had to work till 10 PM so I missed  Carol's crapfest. Probably a good thing  ;D
As for the P32 being easier to carry than the 1911, I don't know yet, I'm carrying both  ;D

The 10 rounders work great, just stick with the factory mags (7 rounders too).... Mag Tec are 100% junk and are only a couple dollars cheaper.

I also forgot to mention the mag release in the PM. It is plastic and it will wear down to the point that it wont retain the mag if you are not careful. Always depress it as you are inserting the mag to keep from wearing it down. I also push the mag up a little when removing and then depress to elliminate the same problem on the down stroke. Did that make sense? After a while it becomes second nature.

Also, buy some snap caps. You cant dry fire these guns or it could break the firing pin.

Not yet.
My shooting buddies can only go on Fridays (girlfriends   ) but one of them got put on days and has to work Fridays so we haven't been out in months. Hoping to fix that in the near future though.
