kel Tec p32 issues

[santamonica9]

so I PPT'd a Kel Tec p32 from another calguner, he warned me that it jams allot and he was using hollow points mainly. So I went with the FMJ's to the range and I still had many failures. I went to the ten round mag and still the same jams, misfeeds etc

I sent to back to kel tec with the same report, after 6 months they sent it back with new extractor and new barrel. I get all excited and took it the calguns burro shoot BBQ and it still was jamming. Im going to clean it up, and try again at angeles wed.

I know I dont want to limp wrist and FMJ's work better in it - what else can I do?

Then again, there are people like me who have had zero problems with their KTs.
Both my P-32 and P-11 have been 100% reliable right out of the box.
SM9, I can take a look at it if you want.
It is important when loading any .32ACP semi auto to be sure that the rounds are correctly loaded into the magazine...the rim of the top cartridge in the mag has to be in front of the rim of the next lower cartridge, and all rounds are the same way throughout the mag.
Otherwise you will get "rim-lock".

The KelTec forum has a number of tech threads on "Fluff and Buff" and also a magazine modification to consider if you always use short OAL hollow point ammo.

thanks for the offer, I will bring it out for you to see at angeles range. I have been aware of the rim lock and have been trying to load correctly

the reason I like the gun is its light, packs a tiny punch still ( better than 380 or 22 for the size imo) rather carry my p32 than a j frame 38 or glock 19.....the kahr arms pm9 would be an option
