More Gun Stuff?

Anyone have an opinion on the Kel-Tec P32? was looking at one today for CC and it is small but kinda looks cheap, looking for something that is light,small and reliable for carrying while hiking/running.

Many of our officers carry that and the P3AT for backup guns. They work fairly well and are reliable from what I have seen. The only Kel Tech I have is a P11 9mm that I carry as a BUG. It shoots well enough and goes bang when I pull the trigger.

I have 3 of the P3AT's, love them! Mine always have worked well, practically wore one out and bought another one recently, that is one concealable little gun. I would look at the 380 over the 32, same price, and almost the same size.

I've got the P3AT and the P-11. Love them. The .32 and .380 are almost the same size. Go for the .380. Very light and concealable.

I've only gotten rid of 1 firearm in my life, the rest are tucked away in their little safes. I don't sell, I don't trade, I only add to my collection. With the exception of a keltec .40 I had. I would have gladly paid someone to take it from me, but eventually traded it on a .444 marlin.

I hear the 9mm are better than the .40, but that pistol ruined the brand for me.

Go for the .380. These are little" pocket protectors". You will hardly know you are carrying one.

http://www.fobusholster.com/catalog/ Any of you with the p3at, get an ankle holster from Fobus, they are great. You will forget you even have that little gun there.

By the way, Kel Tec made a generation 1 and gen 2 model. The pic Scotz posted are gen 1's, the top of the slide is angled, the newer gen 2's are squared off like a glock, if you order a holster be sure to get the right one, they wont fit in the same holster.

Friends and I have had several. All but one was a piece of crap. Nice form factor, but poor overall quality. Look at the Beretta Tomcat instead.

Its a $200 gun, and a backup gun at that. Mine and every one we have shot goes boom when you pull the trigger. The demand for the Kel Tec is huge here, and you usually have to wait for one.
