About the Gun

The P-32 is a semi-automatic, locked breech pistol, chambered for the .32 Auto cartridge. The firing mechanism is double-action only (DAO). The magazine has a 7 round capacity. The P-32 is one of the lightest .32 Auto pistols on the market. Thanks to its locking dynamics and superior ergonometry, perceived recoil and practical accuracy are comparable to much larger guns. The P-32 is mainly intended for plainclothes police officers as a secondary weapon, or for concealed carry by licensed citizens. The small grip size and light trigger pull make the P-32 ideal for female shooters.

About the Cartridge

Initially introduced in Europe, this semi-rimmed centerfire cartridge came to the United States when Colt introduced its 'Pocket Model' semiautomatic pistol. Like the .25 ACP, the .32 ACP is considered by many as too weak to be an effective self-defense round. But it has been an extremely popular caliber, notably by the fact that practically all minor and major manufacturers of autoloading handguns in the world have built millions of small pocket autoloaders in .32 Auto.

Great reliable gun
By Pocketgunner on 01 Jul 2019
At 6 1/2 ounces and about 10oz loaded with 8 rds of Underwood Plus P, this makes for a great light weight carry. Very easy to shoot. Can hide anywhere. Parts are very cheap, And you can get a complete grip assembly with trigger, springs etc. for a min. price. Life time Warranty. Mine has proven to be very reliable.

Great 365 carry
By TriggerCreep on 14 Dec 2018
After buying the p32, it replaced my Seecamp 32 as my daily carry. Accurate! Reliable! Its so light, I forget its in my pocket. Feeds and eats any ammo, including the latest (2018) hps and Glasers. I have the 380 version and the Ruger in addition. I prefer the 32 recoil, but belive the 380 is a better (my minimum std) defensive round.
