Customer Reviews for Kel-Tec P-32 32 ACP Semi Auto Pistol 2.7" Black, 7+1

Gun is very quality, small. Just put ~ 75 Rounds down range no issues. Shoots level, I was missing low of target but I'm a newer shooter so prob user error. I'm skinny, gun fits in hand though it feels a little awkward compared to a normal sized handgun. The gun does 'bite' me a little bit when at the range and has noticeable more kick than a .22 but not as much kick as a 9mm. Overall would recommend nice reliable well built little center-fire pocket pistol.

Super fast shipping from Buds! Ordered Saturday night and was at my FFL on Tuesday! Came in hard case. Only 1 magazine. I ran 4 mags of 73 grain fmj through it with no issues. Supposedly these are prone to rim lock with hollow points. I carry with fmj in favor of better penetration so I haven’t experienced any rim lock issues. Recoil is light but sights are crappy so it is a 7 yard gun. With pocket holster it disappears easily in front pocket. I owned 1 years ago and it ran fine. So far this one does too. Good little pocket pistol for the price. And very lightweight

Fits my hand and my wife's received it quickly.will buy Buds again.

Purchase and shipping was what I've come to expect from Bud's...quick and easy. I price shopped this pistol and, as expected, Bud's was competitive. It fits nicely in my pocket, is accurate for a pistol this size, and is very pleasant to shoot with PMC ball ammo. The S&B ball is loaded a little hotter and starts to wear on your trigger finger after 25 rounds or so. I would buy this again.

Positively and pleasantly surprised. I’ve gone through about 5-6 different “the one”s by now, each with its own strengths and drawbacks. I have an injury that makes prolonged appendix carry problematic. This is the ONLY gun I will carry in that position anymore. After a couple weeks of solid carry, I can confidently say that I have finally found my EDC. The gun looks much cheaper and simpler than it actually is. Every detail has been painstakingly thought out and designed for practicality and reliability. I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but this is probably the single best, modern CCW ever made.

I did not enjoy the Kel-Tec P-32 32 ACP Semi Auto Pistol. I can deal with some long trigger pulls, but this was way too long for me. After shooting it on the range twice, and allowing my colleagues the opportunity to fire it (they didn't like it either), I quickly sold it. The positive thing about it is it's very compact and so easy to hide in your pocket. I wanted to like it but I just couldn't deal with the trigger and I wasn't going to try to make changes to it.

This was the first time I've ordered a firearm from Bud's and I was very impressed. They had a good selection of participating FFL's in my area and the process was smooth as glass on price, ordering and delivery. Now, the P32 appealed to me due to increasing arthritis in my hands...at the same time, I remembered some of the issues with Kel-Tec's in the past, but all the current reviews showed improvement, so I ordered one (also note, P32's are hard to find anymore). Bud's price was GREAT! I always breakdown and clean any new firearms, which I did. I primarily used S&B 73 grain FMJ on my first trip to the range, and experienced several instances where the slide did not return to battery...it fed and ejected just fine, but the slide would not return all the way. After about 50-60 rounds, this issue seemed to go away. After I returned home, I cleaned all surfaces paying close attention to the slide and frame rails. I cycled the slide several times and it seemed to be working. I returned to the range today and it ran flawlessly with the S&B and Speer Gold Dot 60 grain HP; however, I did experience one rim lock with some PMC Bronze 60 grain JHP. Overall, I'm very pleased with the pistol, although the PMC is now going to be range ammo. If you can find a P32, it's a good purchase. Thank you, Bud's!

I have wrist arthritis, and cannot easily handle 9mm or 380 ACP pocket pistols. I have been carrying a Ruger LCP 22lr for a while since I could shoot it with both hands. The P32 is almost identical to the LCP. My only concern is the lack of a manual safety, but I have not had any problems shooting it at least once a week.

Problem brought the P32 to the range it would not fire. I have another P32 and it still runs like a champ. The new P32 will not even put a mark on the primer.Yes it was new factory ammo.

Love how concealable this pistol is weather in my pocket or on my waist it is not visible and of course buds has the best prices.

Excellent pistol. Outstanding service

I want to like these little guys sooooo bad. I have read where others swear by them, but unfortunately that has not been my experience. First, it took me a while to figure out that the only way I can keep them cycling properly and minimize failures is to load them with the hottest ammo I can find (Fiocchi). Then, the added recoil has caused them to bite my trigger finger. I have come home from the range with my trigger finger bleeding from the bites. I've read where others have filed some off of the trigger, and that has helped. As soon as I can get to Lowe's and buy the proper file and sandpaper, I'll probably try that too. Woe is me and my P-32s. Maybe I'll get then straightened out one day.

So I purchased this back in Feb of 2022 and took it out once to test it out. I only ran a box of 50 through it and had several malfunctions, keep in mind this was most likely due to it breaking in. Others have had no issues at all which is great and I would say if it becomes more reliable as time goes on I would trust it as it is the smallest and lightest pocket pistol I have owned.

nice pistol, accurate easy on the hands with recoil

Quick shipping from Bud’s to my FFL. I brought the P32 to my local range and ran 250 rounds of assorted .32acp ball ammo through the pistol without a hiccup. Much easier to control than the .380 LCP and much smaller than my S&W J frames. Accuracy was good despite the small sights and long trigger pull. Controlled shots at 25 yards on a 1’x1’ plate were repeatable. Fit and finish isn’t as great as the LCP, but the last round slick lock back is great. In a backup pistol role this thing will do just fine.

KEL-TEC CNC P-32 P-32 7+1 .32 ACP 2.7" Wow so light weight. Easy to conceal. Upon arrival i gave the firearm a good cleaning and oiled. This little firearm has hardly any recoil. I also changed the guide rod to a metal rod for better reliability. My wife wants one now. I carry this firearm when i wear cargo shorts. Some say the 32acp is not the best for personal protection. I believe shot placement is the key. Thanks Budsgun for the smooth order and delivery process.

Excellent carry gun. It is easily concealed. Getting ammo was a bit challenging. I finally found some at a local gun show. Service from Bud's was great.

I bought this in 2015 for deep conceal / back up carry. Bud's had the best prices and great customer service. It's obviously for up close use given the very short sight radius and nubby sights. Carry it in an Uncle Mike's Nylon Open-Top Inside-The-Pocket Holster. Love the ability to carry w/ zero-print in front pocket when a larger IWB carry gun is not an option.

Really a outstanding firearm. I enjoy it weighing about 6 oz, you can carry it and almost forget about it. It has cycled and fired European ammunition flawlessly. I've only shot European ammo because they have the better case dimensions to avoid rim lock. I also purchased from buds a clip that works great on the pocket.

It works. The downside is the trigger on this thing. It's like all cheap guns and has a long trigger pull but that is an understatement for the P32. It's so long if I had to shoot it a suspect, they could run across the room and never get hit. Partnered with a small trigger guard, I have come to the conclusion that I could never carry this for personal defense. Which is a bummer because I wanted a cheap ankle pistol. The search continues.. as always Buds is/was the best.

Excellent backup gun extremely delighted with this purchase extremely delighted with the service a pleasure to do business with Buds Gun Shop

purchased this Kel Tec 32 for my wife purse carry, she like it for it small size.

LOVE IT. very light easy to shoot. Whenever I first show it to somebody, they chuckle. After they shoot it, the expression on their face is priceless. It is my carry gun.

This one conceals very well but don't expect much in the way of sights and the trigger pull is very heavy.

Very reliable and very lite, so lite in fact that it's possible that you may forget it's there!
