I carry my LWS32 often. It has given me many years of service. :D

wjkuleck, does your .45 carry the Seecamp conversion mark?

[JeffSSig]

Love my LWS.32
For me it is one of my keepers!

[MikeinLA]

I'm curious, how is the felt recoil on these? Controllable for repeat shots?

It's marked "TSW." Here's the explanation that I received from Seecamp:

"If the serial number is on the side of the pistol, which it appears to be, we did not do the conversion. The TSW seems to indicate the conversion was done by Tom Stathes Stan Walenza ~ TS standing for Tom S and S W standing for Stan W, hence TSW.

"When we stopped doing conversions around 1980 there were other folks who carried the ball. Among these was TSW.

As you may imagine the recoil is prominant, especially in the .380acp. It isn't a gun that is fun to blast through hundreds of rounds per range visit, but that really isn't it's purpose. The recoil comes straight back into your hand, and with such a short barrel, there is little "flip" so that shots can follow as fast as you can pull the trigger. At 3 to 7 yards it is possible to quickly put all the shots into a desireable group. Most people that shoot my LWS32 for the first time remark something like; "that wasn't as bad as I expected".

I have both the LWS32 and the LWS380. Both are controllable but the LWS32 is much easier to shoot than the LWS380. However, the LWS380 is still more than acceptable as far as accuracy and shootability goes. Add that to the fact that they are simply the best made mousegun on the market today or at any other time and you have a real winner.

The Seecamps truly are like having little custom made firearms that can slip into a pocket with ease. Each one of them is a finely crafted marvel.

Here is a target from a range report I did on mine showing a grouping obtained from rapidly unloaded the gun into a target at 20ft. You can read the range report by clicking HERE (http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=246774&highlight=range+report).

After waiting all those years for the prices to come down, I have a .32. But, alas, the old arthritis makes it impractical for carry these days. It will probably become a family heirloom for one of my kids or nieces or nephews. "This belonged to that crazy old Uncle Chesster!!!"

Is one of three of my most carried. It's not a whole lot of fun to shoot, but it is a great small carry.

I got my .32 from Ken, and I love it. I wish I could get a .380 at a good price.
