I am looking in to buying this gun for my gf so she can keep it in her house. We dont live together and when I'm not over there I worry about her security.

Does anyone on here have any feed back on Kel Tech pistols? This seems like the best choice for her, its a small caliber .32. If I do buy it she will definitley be going to a weapons training class, to learn how to properly handle it.

So any feedback guys? Here is a link to the pistol. http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/p32.htm

For a woman, I would consider a Sig P230 (now a Sig P-232 model) or a Bersa Thunder .380

I like the extra little oomph that a .380 has over a .32.

Or go for the classic "Bond, my name is James Bond!" Look, and get her a Walther's PPK .380.

If you go to Shooter's Express, they will probably let you try at least one model of each out and see which she likes best.

I have had 2 different GF's carry.

1 preferred a hammerless .357 Taurus revolver, the other preferred a S & W .40 cal with a modified spring to be able for her to pull the slide back. (Don't rag on me people, but most women find it hard to pull back the slide on a 9 mil and especially anything over it.)

Better still, why don't you pay for her to do some self-defense classes. Guns are always seen the only option for personal security, but there are many situations where a gun won't help at all. If you ask me, guns are a band-aid. If you're worried about her safety, teach her how to defend herself, not what to defend herself with.

goddamn, i love the internet.

take self defense courses, get her some bear spray, if she still isn't comfortable get her a 20 gauge shotgun. This is about her feeling safe. If she doesn't feel uncomfortable in her area and she doesn't want a gun, you putting one in her hand or convincing her she needs one is not going to help the situation and certainly won't make her safer.

snub nose .357 lol.

What's so funny? Please elaborate, and be loud, because it may be hard for me to hear you since you are way up there.

The one Kel-tec i shot jammed a lot. Get a revolver. Girls have problems trying to rack a round. She just needs to be able to point and shoot. Really, she should get a shotgun but if she wants to hide it get a revolver. You can even get her the one with the pink grip. :D

it's just that i wouldn't think of a snub nosed .357 magnum as the appropriate home defense weapon for someone's girlfriend who was unfamiliar with guns.

maybe i'm totally wrong though. it'll certainly blow big f*cking holes in things.

I don't know if standing there in a karate stance while someone is crawling through her window at 3am is ideal either.

Would rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

I own four kel-tecs and swear by them. It's the only brand of weapon I will carry concealed. The reasons being they are 100% reliable and can conceal anywhere. The p32 (the 32 cal you are looking at) will give you just as much penetration as will a similar sized gun chambered in .380. You have to realize though that the barrel of the gun is only 2.7", that;s including the chamber. That, coupled with the light weight of the weapon is going to produce some heavy recoil for the ladies. If you are seriously considering going with the p32, PM me and we will have her shoot mine and see if she can rack the slide and handle the gun.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
