ive only shot the sucker a few times the first time with winchester white and the slide locked up with an empty case and had to send it back for warranty. got it back and tried shooting S&B fmj and it choked on every 3 or 4 rounds. just wondering if im having ammo related probs or is this thing just a dog? amazingly the winchester was very accurate out to 40 yards.

The P32 can be a little trouble at first, but you must be sure to break it in or fluff and buff it since it is run rough off of CNC machines. S&B is good ammo but, has hard primers and you may need to go back to WWB or send it back to Kel-Tec with a note that it is failing with S&B. Check out KTOG.com an Ktrange.com for a wealth of info on the P32. If you get that gun running it will be a loyal dog. Be patient, polish the ramp, break it in and you will a happy camper.

I've always run the hottest ammo I could find. Before I handloaded for the 32acp, I used Fiocchi or Dynamit Nobel. My current load is either a 60gr HP at 1050fps or an 85gr HP at 950fps.

My wife's P32 is stoked with 60gr Winchester Silvertip.
It runs with no problems that I can think of!!

NO Kel-tec P-32's here, but I use the 65 grain Federal Hydra-Shok's in my
Seecamp LWS-32. Larry recommends these over the newly designed W-W
Silver Tips. :) :D

got one and ran 400 rounds of speer lawman thru it without a hiccup what so ever.it really likes that round and pretty accurate.the gunshop in my area is the one who turned me onto speer when i bought the pistol.

I, and my P-32s, prefer Fiocchi's 60 grain semi-jacketed hollow point load.

Shoots to point of aim for me, and is noticeably warmer than most domestic loadings.

Don't have mine anymore, but... I had one malfuntion in my p32 in the first 50 rounds, and never a problem after that. I shot mostly fmj for practice and fun, and carried and shot gold dots with 0 malfunctions.
