A customer of mine asked me to do some work on his P-32. After doing the necessary research, I discovered that Kel-Tecs can tend to be finicky. The P-32 can, sometimes, be plagued with a condition known as "rim lock" (a magazine problem in which hollow points will not feed and ball feeds). I further discovered that there is an ernest band of Kel-Tec'ers who have all learned to do their own work (as opposed to sending it back to the KT factory). Witness the fix for the rim lock situation:

The 1st Generation P-32's tended to have extraction problems. Now that the 2nd Generation ones are in circulation, that seems to have been solved.

The P-32 and the P3-AT do share a common problem though: grip bulge under the area of the Disassembly Pin. The illuminati inform me that most of grip bulges are due to not placing one's left thumb on the polymer grip under the Disassembly Pin while wiggling it out and removing the pin.

My customer's weapon had both grip bulge and ejection problems; I managed to solve both problems for him with free parts sent from the factory and the judicious use of a hair dryer on the grip unit once the internal frame had been removed.
