If you didn't like the PPK in .380, you're really not going to like the P3AT.

I have not fired the LCP yet, but as it's essentially a carbon copy of the P3AT (okay, two ounces heavier), I can't see where it will be any less unpleasant.

The P-32 is quite pleasant to shoot, but I view the .32 cartridge as "anemic" at best. On second thought, make that "inadequate". JMHO.

And I won't comment on Kel-Tec reliability except to say that:
a) I've owned four of them, and;
b) I have one right now, and as soon as I get ahold of an LCP, the K-T count will go to zero. And will remain there.
