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.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
