    Pocket .32s?

    Hey guys,

    Do you guys think there is any use for a pocket .32 these days with all the .380/9mm pocket guns out there?

    I currently have a sig p238 and a 938. I was thinking of getting a NAA .32 guardian. Mainly for those days that i may have trouble concealing a p238.. like if I was wearing slacks and went a wedding...etc. The Sig p238/938 conceal pretty well in the pocket for most of my cloths.. they may bulge a bit when I wear slacks.

    Do you guys think of this? Is the size difference all that great? Do any of you guys carry any .32 these days?

    I carry a compact .40 and would buy a Keltec P32 if they were on the roster. Just my two pennies. I have shot a P 238 and love it. I don't really see you saving much space with a .32 over that pistol already.
    Buying a safe and sane firework is like paying a hooker for a hug. I do not see the appeal in it.

      Don't even waste your time and $ on a .32... Better off using a knife and harsh language... LOL

        The seecamp is a fine pistol if u can find one.

        No sights and it only runs on two types of ammo as FMJ and most ammo is too long for the magazine.
        Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

        Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

        Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

        Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

            With all the small and light weight .380s on the market I don't see much use for .32 acp.

            A .380 loaded with a Buffalo Bore Barnes +p load is going to put a hurting on a BG I don't care what anyone says. Save up for a Kahr P380, glad I got one.

              I picked up a Walther PP in .32 ACP and a Sig P230 in .380 recently. Great looking guns and very easy to conceal. If you can find either of these, get them, they're hard to find. Don't get into the caliber debate, it can go on forever. Hit your target, he'll go down.

                I have the seacamp in 32 and like it for the concealment. They also make it in 380 now also. I would not go looking for trouble with it but it would do the job. A few friends have gotten the small ruger in 380 and they like it.

                  I carry my seecamp 32 a lot. I switch between the 32 and my ruger 380.
                  32 cap Ammo can be hard to find but it a Damn fine gun. And they stand behind there guns.
                  I had my seecamp 3 years before I had my ccw permit and used it as a range gun. It put about 500 rounds or so through it and the slide cracked. I sent it back and they replaced the slide, recoil spring and grip free of charge.
                  I will never sell my seecamp.

                    Going to a wedding with a bulge in the pants may not be a bad thing!

                      I believe the new Beretta Pico is .32.

                      Edit: it's a .380 with the ability to switch to a .32 with just a barrel change.
                      I'm interested in. Will definitely be checking them out.

                        I have had a couple of Keltec P32s and a P3AT for several years. Considering that even the .380 is underpowered I decided that the extra round of the P32 makes it a better choice. My wife has settled on the P32 as her normal carry gun. I don't complain, I'm just glad she went to the trouble to get her CCW and carry.
                        People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

                          I like my Keltec P32, it was my daily carry when I lived up North, and now is a regular with me to the range. Yes, it has a pretty strong bite, but it's insanely small, extremely reliable, and a 32 ACP is still a potent little round (as was just about any round designed by JM Browning).

                            How does a naa guardian 32 compare in size to ruger lcp or sig 238??

                            I ask bc I have a 238 and seen plenty of lcps but I ve never actually seen a seecamp or naa 32? Are they considerably smaller?
