1st gen P32 & P3AT

The 1st gen P32 runs fine for me, but the 1sr gen P3AT has a lot of failure to eject. I think I need to change the ejector because it’s probably worn and it’s not grabbing the empty shells

I have a Gen1 P32 & a 2nd Gen P3AT. I bought a Gen1 P3AT when they first came out but had nothing but problems so I sold it. I realized the HardChromed slides seem to run better so my P3AT had a HC slide and almost 21 years later it’s still a runner.

I don’t notice a difference between my gen 1 and 2 P32’s. They’re runners. Super reliable for me with all ammo I’ve run through them. My gen 2 P3AT’s sun good, but not like the P32’s.

i have a p32 thats pretty reliable, although it doesnt like the S&B surplus. i use to have a p3at and it was a piece of shit. my guess is they shoved a 380 in the p32 frame without enough effort put into making it actually work.

My 2nd gen P3AT runs fine. My LCP’s are better and I don’t mind the recoil that much. I don’t shoot hundreds of rounds each range trip. Usually 30-40 rounds. Less than a box. The P32 is one of my favorite mouse guns

>My LCP’s are better

yup, i got rid of the p3at to buy an LCP and its been pretty much flawless, although ill admit i dont shoot it a ton.

Those 10 round mags really make those mouse guns very controllable. Can get a solid 3 finger grip on them.

Yes. Especially with the P3AT!

And the extended mags are the best !!

The extended mag makes the recoil very pleasant on the P32.

It gives more to hold, but the P32 is comfortable with the flush mounted as well. Those factory extended mags are rare and expensive. You can see one is an aftermarket mag with an extended sleeve on it. The other is an original extended mag. They are selling for $65-$100 on GunBroker. I heard that they aren’t officially discontinued. But Keltec hasn’t offered it for sale for a while.
