What are your favorite 32's?

johnwill · May 2, 2001, 06:58 PM

Well, it would be hard to pass by my Browning 1900...

A Walther PPK or PPK/S.

JBP · May 2, 2001, 08:35 PM

CZ50. For $85 it shoots to point of aim. What more can one want

**Mike Irwin** · May 2, 2001, 08:54 PM

Remington Model 51.

It's also my favorite .380.

Ledbetter · May 2, 2001, 09:57 PM

I'm surprised to be the first to claim ownership of a KelTec P32. At six ounces, a fine little gun, but don't put it in your back pocket and sit on it.

Regards to all.

Nothing like a 1903 Colt Pocket Pistol.

BobCA · May 3, 2001, 12:25 AM

Beretta Tomcat 3032

Ditto what Ledbetter said about a Keltec P32.
I just sent my slide back to Keltec with $20.
When it gets back, it should be plated with a nice hard chrome.
Once you get a P32 that works, it is can't be beat in the size/wt. category, for a .32.

Walther Number 4. Those ugly little things are NEAT! And accurate, and lightweight.

Walther PPK/S.

riddleofsteel, what's a "1908 Dryse Shemmeria"? Never heard of it.

shooter.45 · May 3, 2001, 05:17 PM

Another vote for the Kel-Tec P32. Love mine

Jeff OTMG · May 3, 2001, 05:48 PM

Walther PP

voodoo · May 3, 2001, 05:52 PM

It's a Keltec P32

ChickenHawk · May 3, 2001, 08:04 PM

I love my Kel-Tec P32. I did a little F&B but haven't changed any stock components. Great little gun for my front pocket.

Dryse was the manufacturer of the rifle called a needle fire rifle that was the offical rifle of the German Army before the Mauser. Around the turn of the century Dryse began to build several series of pocket pistols for the growing market in Central Europe. They were mainly chambered in .25 ACP and .32 ACP or 7.62 Browning. They were massed produced and total production figures exceed 300,000 on the Scmmerda alone. However, they exhibit a fine craftsmanship typical of early German engineering and manufacturing.
On mine the tolerences between metal parts is so small that you can hardly tell one part from another. It is a pocket pistol yet it is target accurate. It is striker fired and smooth so it draws from a pocket well. Looks odd, works well, deadly in application. All in all typical German.

ChickenHawk · May 4, 2001, 02:07 PM

Stoic,

I looked at the Guardian too, but it's more expensive than the Kel-Tec; weighs twice as much; is a bit wider; holds one less round in the magazine.

What's the advatage then? And don't tell me, "because it actually works."

Cheers,
ChickenHawk

NAA .32 (though it leaves a lot to be desired--trigger pull is too heavy).
