P32 slide crack

[blue32]

$7.35 to ship upper assembly. Didn't provide proof of purchase. Received new slide with fresh bluing, updated barrel with polished feed ramp, and RSA for free! The rear sight is even milled straight. Turnaround from ship to receive was 11 days. Good job KT; I'm saving up for another.

That crack was caused by limp wristing.

Impressive CS, a bunch of other companies need to follow suit.

I'm glad to hear about the good customer service!

I have a P32 also. I haven't had any problems with it, but I also don't shoot it very often.

I had a PF-9 that exhibited severe peening on the front edge of the ejection port after only a few hundred rounds. Kel-Tec sent me a new slide.

That is good to hear about the excellent customer service. I too have a original gen P32 that's still going strong.

Glad they took care of you op!

Nice to hear about the good CS at keltec. I just ordered a p32 myself. I'm looking for a reliable pocket pistol to take on vacation.

Recently took a 12 hr. (each way) road trip to visit my son for Army Basic training. Looked at all my small 380's and Micro 9mm and ended up choosing the Keltec. 8 loaded rounds of Underwood Defender Plus P and only 6 1/2 oz.and 10oz fully loaded. I had bought the gun about a month earlier, but had put over 400 rds ammo down range and the gun proved to be totally reliable. A remarkable little light weight gun. It was a great choice for a long trip and staying in a Hotel etc. Small enough you can actually carry in the palm of your hand and not be noticed. And a gun in the hand is about as fast as you can get. Love this little gun. And weight does matter.

Which gun would I take?
The Pico and Kahr were strong contenders. But I would have to hide the gun before going on to the base. The Keltec besides weight, got a few points because of less replacement cost if it were to get stolen. But still the size and weight were ideal.
The Keltec is not fancy. Not a great gun to just hold and admire the the fine tooling. It is a Tool and a darn good one at that.

(missing in the Pic is my Kahr CM9 which I love)

Jeb-
Nice collection of small guns.

Yes it is.

From a different thread...

Ultimately, this and other statements like it moved me to purchase the P Thirty Two on Saturday. On Saturday evening I ditched my bike. (Bicycle. I was looking at tractors instead of the road. Drifted over the decayed edge and scuffed it in the sand. ) I dumped the sand out of my pocket and pistol, (noting that a JD STwo Fourty would be perfect for my lawn) and went home.

Sunday I blew out the pistol and test fired it. Left handed, as my right shoulder is now slung and taped. Two magazines into the dirt at the foot of the wood pile. Worked great and got hot one in my collar. Courtesy of the huge funnel created by the sling.
I have a neat holster for awhile, too.

I bought this specifically for biking and it looks to be perfect. I'll actually clean and lubricate it soon. I have to see if I can work today. It's coming with me.
Really like this little guy so far.

I didn't make it to work. But I did clean the pistol. I took an X-acto knife around the flashing and a nail file. I polished the barrel throat, ramp and the top of the locking lug, too. I was bored.
Fluff and Buff performed, She is now nested in my front pocket for the foreseeable future. (I was wrong, it's a she.)
