KEL-TEC P32 ~ A MAN'S GOT TO KNOW HIS LIMITATIONS XI

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Here's the link to my review of this little pistola- kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYipfnyFrM5nfrs

[@unitedstatesirie7431]

there is information on the Internet that shows how to install a 1/16" inch steel wire into the KEL-TEC P32 magazines to stop the rim-lock problem.

[@abc-wv4in]

@@unitedstatesirie7431 From what I've seen and heard, the rim lock problem is only for shorter rounds such as hollow points. FMJ doesn't seem to experience it because they are longer. Also some of the European brands like S&B and Fiocchi have a little bevel at the bottom. I don't have a .32 (yet), though.

[@Charlie18tc]

You're a better shot than me. The Keltec P32 has been my pocket gun for 25 years. Never had a malfunction. I wouldn't be confident at more than 15 yards.

[@taofledermaus]

Again I am impressed with your shooting.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thank you. 🔫🔫

[@fyisense9312]

He certainly has the knack. I'd be hard pressed to do that with my custom S&W .44 mag with my handloads. It's easy to shoot out to 100 yds from the bench; now stand up and try that offhand with no optics in double action (as you know he does that). I was expecting him to max out at 25 yards Great shooting! considering caliber and sights.

[@theovaissie2480]

I too, he is good, he is very good.

[@freedomfirst5420]

Alot better than I could do, that was really impressive!

[@BillB23]

With that pistol I'd have done better throwing it than shooting it.

[@robertleslie2467]

I have been carrying a P32 in a remora pocket holster daily for many years. I don't look at the sites. I look at the target and point shoot. The P32 is an up close and personal self defense get off me gun. I have 2 P32's and both have been 100% go bang ever' time. Mahalo!

[@kicksnarehat4393]

Well done sir! As the owner of a P32 and a P3AT I can testify to the worthless sights those pistols offer, and you hitting steel at 45 yards is very impressive.

Awesome. Two that I really hope to get one day soon.

[@codybill24]

I've been quite happy with my P32. It's a first-gen, with the even worse sights. Still love that little gun though!

[@scubaguy007]

@codybill24 mine is a first gen too. I bought it when they first dropped at my favorite gun store at the time. My P3AT is the same.

[@codybill24]

@@scubaguy007 oh cool, that's awesome! I think the first gen ones are cooler than the newer ones, something about the bolted on extractor just doesn't do it for me.

[@kfs173]

This guy is the best shot I've ever seen on the internet, he consistently hits the target with multiple firearms and calibers and at multiple distances. Good job brother keep it up you are a pleasure to watch!

[@christownsend316]

Where can you buy the Keltec p32 I have found zero online they are sold out everywhere

[@nthnmonkey]

Compact Short Barrel Pistol + Small Calibre + Small Gong + Kentucky Windage + Wind + WAY more hits than misses at Long Range = AWESOME SHOOTING!!

[@sotoo9645]

Fiocchi has ended the rim lock issue for me, as the base of the cartridge is more chamfered in the rear allowing the rim locked round to slide over the round beneath it. I have purposely induced rim lock and usually the force of the recoil spring alone will still chamber the round. If it doesn't, a light tap to the rear of the slide will send it home. During shooting, the force of the reciprocating slide easily handles rim locked rounds. Fiocchi FMJs are great and show good performance in Lucky Gunner's tests. Fiocchi loads their XTP round to almost the same cartridge length as their FMJ, so no flyer wires needed in the mags. Again, no rim lock issues with either. I haven't tried S&B yet, but it appears to me that the heavier chamfer is present and the Europeans wanted to solve the biggest problem with .32 acp. Check your ammo for that small detail... you'll be happy you did. BTW... I avoid PMC Bronze, as it will rim lock if you just look at it wrong... and that was FMJ.

[@Hornet135]

Right, the European ammo tends to have the bigger chamfer. I’ve had good luck with Fiocchi, Geco, and S&B in my CZ-70. Loaded on the hotter end for .32 and no malfunctions. No issues with PPU either, but it’s noticeably more anemic than the others.

[@brianwarzeha2731]

I love .32s, and I agree on the European ammo. Mauser 1934, Beretta 82 & 3032, Ortgies, CZ-50/70... They all receive an exclusive diet of Fiocchi, Geco, & S&B. Only the Berettas could ever digest American .32ACP, but not without an occasional hiccup.

[@myvenusheeler]

I bought a brand new P-32 in 2011 for $225. It is a very nifty little pistol and has never malfunctioned.

[@jackiemartling5321]

Never misfired? How many rounds have you put through it?

[@myvenusheeler]

@@jackiemartling5321 I have over 600 rounds through the little pistol.

[@ratdad48]

If you go to gun shows, see if you can find a walther Mod.4. (Old). Once you fire it, you'll likely set that berreta aside.

[@conleyhennigan8113]

​@@myvenusheelerI'd be curious to know if yours makes it to 1,000+ rounds. Both of the P-32's I've owned started having issues not much beyond where you are (failure to feed and fire), after about 700-800 rounds. I've owned four P-3at's but I didn't find them to be super dependable so I never kept one too long and finally gave up and went to the Ruger copy which I greatly prefer over the kel-tec. I really wish the .32 ACP got more love, I think it makes more sense than .380 in a pocket pistol.

[@myvenusheeler]

@@conleyhennigan8113 We will see one day in the future as I have on hand at least 1150 rounds left of Italian made Fiocchi ammo as well as several boxes of S&B. This little pistol has never once malfunctioned. I can tell you in the past I owned two DB .380's that both went to total hell in less than 600 rounds. I say two because number two was a factory warranty replacement that died in about 450 rounds. Good thing about Kel-Tec is they will repair or replace if it dies. This question you posted has encouraged me to get it out of the Amsec safe and start shooting it again!!

[@unitedstatesirie7431]

That .32acp caliber pistol is very accurate💥 ! I bought my KEL-TEC P32 new in the year 1998. I carried it while I was working at Microsoft in Washington State.

It occurred to me a few years ago there's an industry incentive to continuously talking down like Kel Tec's & Tauruses, the Sig's and Springfield's of the world don't want you to know functioning guns can be made for under (can't say a price or KZbin bans you) blank amount.

[@CalebKennizzite]

Phenomenal marksmanship!!!

[@strib3144]

I've been carrying the P32 for years, and for me it's pretty accurate, but I've only shot it at the indoor range. I'm confident with it and it slips into the font pocket of my jeans and I don't notice it's there. I've never had a misfire with mine, but I only shoot FMJ. Hollow points cause rim lock.

[@owenlaprath4135]

In 1999 I bought a P11, similar pistol in 9mm, but a little bigger. It was possible to control and get accurate with some two handed effort holding the grip downward to brace against muzzle flip, but the 9mm round in the light frame polymer design was slapping my watch maker fingers uncomfortably, and I never fed it a whole box of 50 rounds in any one range session! Firing that pistol felt like somebody slapped my palm with a ruler. I bet the 32 is a lot more comfortable to shoot! This may also be the reason, why it is still in the catalogue, and the 9mm got dropped. The OTHER and more important reason I got rid of it was this: The internal hammer was actually deforming the rear of the slide, where the hammer was getting cocked! The slide was slowly getting an ever larger groove where the hammer was getting pushed down, with the displaced metal bulging out to the sides at the rear lower edge of the slide. This never happened on my Beretta 92D, which was also very comfortable to shoot. That kind of soft metal deformation on that KelTec was uncomfortable to see, and I have never considered another KelTec after that!

[@jamiemitchell9733]

I love my P32. Back when they were made by RTK I got an aluminum trigger for the P3AT called the Sweet Spot trigger. I wish they were still made, I'd love to have one or two more P32s with that trigger.

[@alanpage1916]

[@Frugalphilly]

You are the only sniper I know who uses a P32…OUTSTANDING

[@sorino2817]

Excellent shooting

[@donaldseymour6340]

Ive carried my P-32 for years. Ive always liked how small and easy to carry it is. Only thing i have done to it was to polish the feed ramp up nice, and put a MAG extension with a spur on it to help with my grip. I only carry it when i dont want, or dont think i can get away with something larger. Polishing up the feed ramp, and being careful when loading the MAGS to avoid rim-lock has kept it pretty reliable for me. Ive never considered it much more than 10 yards for any kind of accuracy. Youve got me now going to have to practice more to get it out further. Thanks Buffalo!

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

That last set of shooting looked like a POV from the Zapruder film and the grassy knoll.

[@royorkesjr.8386]

[@ihavenoaffinity]

no clue why Kel-Tec isn't making more of these. They go out of stock as soon as they get in and the prices are always high these days. Obviously there's some sort of demand.

I'd have to call that Illinois windage, the state to the left of Kentucky. Most people would have been out at 20 yards. Nicely done 👍

[@captainobvious1721]

I am thoroughly impressed with your shooting ability and what a great exercise to assess one's abilities. I am going to remember this for a long time.

[@MDformernavalperson]

This is more an example of your shooting skill than the quality of the pistol. It proves that a skilled marksman can compensate for a firearm's intrinsic flaws. It does not induce me to buy a Keltec P32. Good show!

[@t.davidgordon2425]

The only thing better than your solid information is your pleasant demeanor. I'm a native Virginian, and your English is closer to mine than the "Pittsburghese" here in western PA. Be safe, and enjoy shooting. Thank you!

[@jeffjackson2196]

This is the series that doesn’t need to die all of these videos are great

[@donskiver]

I've got a P3AT with a crimson trace on it (bought it that way from a pawn shop, lucky me!). It's not pleasant to shoot for fun, but it's my go-to for deep concealment and I carry it to work every day.

[@williambaker4417]

Amazing shooting as always. Possibly a record for distance and accuracy for the little Kel-Tec. Some shooters may not be familiar with the .32acp. It was the standard cartridge for US general officers in Colt pistols in the early 1900’s.

[@edgarburlyman738]

That's because officers only need a gun for two things: executions and suicides.

[@Coltbreath]

Precisely!

[@jackiemartling5321]

As well as the issued sidearm for European cops, railroad cops, etc. Ask William McKinley if a .32 can kill you!

[@MrPercy112]

European and British .32 ACP used to be just a wee bit hotter; not quite near a +p, but there was a discernible difference, if you ran both side by side. Fiocchi softened their loads when they relocated to America - cost saving perhaps? If anyone knows the answer, I’d welcome it, ta.

[@search4truth104]

[@nickhosford7801]

I find painting a verticle line on the front sight in white paint really helps me find it faster.

[@BrokeBoy912]

I like DAO pocket pistols I carry my Sccy Cpx-2 everyday.

[@DK-gy7ll]

That was phenomenal shooting. BTW short JHP ammo is especially prone to rimlock in a .32ACP. You probably wouldn't have had the same issue with ball ammo.

[@dplanet8292]

I agree. fmj in my opinion, reliable in the p32. I've had issues with jhp and hollow point style like hornady critical defense rnds due to rimlock

[@Just1American1966]

Yep. If you like HP, then load one in the chamber and one in the topmost position in the magazine. The rest should be FMJ for maximum reliability (and penetration.) I learned about rimlock the day I got my P32, having gone straight to the range with it and two boxes of Winchester Q4255 ("white box") ammo, which is a flat-tipped FMJ round.

[@Miata822]

Steady hands! The P-32 can be rock solid reliable, but not out of the box and it takes more than just breaking it in. I hope it's still out there, but years ago there was a Kel-Tek owners forum that discussed in some detail what they called a "Buff and Puff" treatment that dramatically improved reliability. At least that was the case in my experience. Mag springs like it if you unload them from time to time. My wife now keeps the one I bought and rotates which mag is loaded every 6 months or so to ensure reliable feeding. I was able to find a nicely made leather holster that looked like a wallet in the back pocket, perfect for summer wear. 32ACP hollow points lack the energy to expand. FMJ rounds have better penetration, and that's all you can ask from a 32. I paid about $200 about 15-ish years ago but a quick peek at GunBroker shocked me with what these go for today.

[@ChipMautz]

It was called fluff and buff. Btw, I am a Kel-Tec collector and have many function reliably, I've never done a F&B. P32, 3AT, pf-9, p-11, p-40. The only one that gives me grief is my pre-KT Grendel P10 .380. occasional feed failure.

Dude. I had a P3-AT and I couldn't hit anything beyond like 3 feet! I found it painful to shoot. A friend recommended the 32 but I decided to get a snub 38 instead. You are an amazing marksman.

[@bdokey2]

Hey Buffalo, I've had the P32 for many years , never had a rim-lock. I use Fiocchi ammo. Probably put at least 700 rounds by now - works great but I can't hit long range like you. Bill / Michigan

[@deucedeuce1572]

I knew it was possible, but I've never actually seen it. Usually hard to do, because each round is loaded from front and pushed back... so it's hard to get the top rounds rim behind the lower rounds rim (esp with the angle of the mag too). Not sure if it's possible for them to move and lock up while shooting though.

I really like this concept and would like to try it with a few different pistols of mine.

[@mrhalfstep]

That gun reminds me of a Grendel P10 that I owned in the late 1980s. It was .380 ACP, but it didn't have a removable mag. Looked a lot like that gun though. It was loaded down through the open slide and into the grip. It held 10 or 11 shots and had what the company called an "inertial" firing pin and used a coiled spring instead of a wound spring. It was single action only and the "inertial" thing meant that you couldn't throw it on the ground or smack it with a hammer and make it fire, you had to pull the trigger. It was a nice simple gun. I think it was one of the first guns to use polymer in the frame, as well. Unfortunately I turned a lead acid battery over onto the fishing tackle bag that I kept it in and all the metal parts got ate up.

[@mrmicro22]
