Help me pick a new .32 - Page 2

Update...

With brand spankin' new Wolff magazine springs, I took it to the range on Friday. First shot fired; second shot did not because first shell did not completely eject. It was halfway still in the barrel. Am I having an extractor problem? In retrospect, I should have continued firing the P32 to try to replicate the malfunction, but I stopped.

I initiated a work order through KelTec's website and I am awaiting a reply.

"...first shell did not completely eject. It was halfway still in the barrel."

Not to nit-pick, but that was a failure to extract, not failure to eject. Extract is when the case is removed from the chamber; eject is when the case is kicked out through the hole (ejection port) in the slide.

I'd be looking at the extractor as the cause of that.

So, you didn't pursue it to see if the new mag springs cured the feeding problems?

if the magazines lips aren't buggered up, the recoil and magazine springs are new, let somebody else shoot a few magazines through it just to be sure it isn't you.
