Suferdaddy- similar thing happened to me. I kept having ftf or eject in two small 380 pistols on several occasions. Not every mag but every range visit I would get maybe 2-3 out of 150 rounds. I wanted my bug to be as reliable as my main carry and the j-frame has solved that problem. I know revolvers can and do fail but so far in the 2 years or so since I started carrying it as my bug it has not failed me in any way.

I am with you tam.the only reason I bought my p32 was for a deep concealment gun. If there was another gun that was that small and that light in better quality I would have bought it. My p32 loaded weighs the same as a lcp unloaded. It is about 9.5 ounces loaded. The p3at is about 11.5 and a lcp is about 13 to give you an idea.

I guess your right on the snubby for ankle carry. I carry it in an ankle holster sometimes but running down a bg jumping fences? No.My buddy who is a Leo has a backup built into a vest but I think he also has a small ankle carry. I think it is still an air lite ti. Weighs more then my p32 but it is lighter loaded then my snub unloaded by an ounce or two.

Once you get to the size and weight of a pf9 you might as well get a cm9 or nano Imo.

Only had my p 32 for a little over a year with about 500 trouble free rounds through it. Never any ftf or fte. That being said it is a cheap gun and I have never heard of someone not having a problem before a thousand rounds. For some reason it seems the p32 has less problems according to kel tec. Owners. I wouldn't even consider it a backup but an extra deep concealment gun for a last ditch effort scenario. I only carry it when going to the gym in a deep concealment body holster.

Gig I do have to wonder why a Leo would even carry this as a backup while on duty? It's. Not like they are going to get in trouble for printing! Why not just a tried and true 13 ounce j frame. The only purpose for a gun like the p32 or p3at is deep concealment.
