Kel-Tec P-32
The Kel-Tec P-32 is a sub-compact semi-automatic pistol using the short-recoil principle of operation. Chambered in .32 ACP, it is popular for concealed carry in the United States. It was designed by George Kellgren, the Swedish firearms designer associated earlier with the Husqvarna, Intratec, and Grendel brands of firearms. It is manufactured by Kel-Tec CNC Industries Inc., of Cocoa, Florida. It is designed for concealed carry by civilians and by law enforcement officers as a back-up gun; all edges are rounded and smoothed and nothing protrudes from the gun to get caught on clothing.
Design
Manufactured by Kel-Tec CNC Industries (founded 1991) in the city of Cocoa, Florida, USA, the P-32 has a barrel length of 2.68 inches (68 mm). Trigger pulling weight is between five and six pounds (22 N to 27 N), and the pistol is hammer fired, with a long trigger pull. The trigger mechanism is not a true double action and the hammer must be pre-set to a half-cock position. Magazine capacity is seven .32 ACP cartridges in a standard, single-stack magazine, plus one in the chamber. Optional ten-round magazines are also available from the factory. The ten-round magazines also extend the grip.
