A friend of mine and her husband each carry one of these handguns and I'm giving it some serious consideration. No other reason than I just want one I guess. What do you all think about them?

I've had a Keltec 32 ACP for years. It is a tiny thing and fits right in my pocket for social purposes. It is well made and dependable and I have nothing bad to say about it.

I love it, Dh hates it. It is light. Small. Fits into a fairly non noticable dayplanner type carrier so it is perfect for CC. To shoot it is another story! I don't mind it but I would not call it " fun" to shoot. It is too small and will try to twist out of your hand. Perfect back up or cc.

I also have a Kahr 9mm and got it as it was a "mini Glock" It isn't and I don't like it for CC as it is too heavy and won't fit under most female clothing.

I use it for CC and not a a fun shooter so I don't care. FIL have a huge hand and he also really can't stand it (to shoot). It is just about the best when it comes to size vs. weight for a CC. In the end we all agree it is just too easy and small to just tuck in somewhere and go.

I have had no problems w/ it and would like to try out the 9mm frame. Highly recomended.

There is a chap at this site who has a look at new offerings as they come along, and he happens to have done a review of the pistol in question:

I like my keltec 32 and have had it for several years.

As far as the Kahr arms goes I have BOTH the steel framed and polymer frames and the steel is to heavy without a good holster- the polymer kahr is a joy to carry. I shoot both well...

My wife has the Ruger version, the LCP. She likes it a lot because of its light weight, slimness, and compact size. Her LCP is super accurate too considering the rudimentary sights. Yes it does have some snap in the hand but it is for easy carry in a cc situation and fits that criteria perfectly. The LCP does have a recall and we are getting ready to send hers back. Ruger sent us a prepaid mailer. TnTnTn
