Just came home with my new P32! serial number 38XXX all black.

Taking it apart is a snap too. The gun is oily and a bit dirty and looks to have been fired a couple of times, but will clean up nicely methinks.

Now for the fun of customizing and polishing it up!

It's about time. You've been meowing about it for weeks now. Welcome to the party! Are you going to try it right out of the box or are you going to fluff and buff first? Did you ever get your HS2K from Leigh?

I am going to clean it within an inch of it's life and grease the slide and shoot it like that first. I don't want to fix something that aint broke!

As for the HS2K, I didn't get one. He ran out of pistols before customers, so I bowed out for the sake of the brother next in line. Next time. Unless I get a P11 first of course! :D

The gun is very dirty. oil running all over da place. can't have that! and the barrel is so cute! I just want to polish it mirror brite like a little peice of jewelry!

Now on to a carry pack for it. The Blue KT pack seems worthless to me. Boxster seems expensive for me, so I will most likely get one of those desantis jobs. fun to outfit a new gun!

Bill,

Go to North American's web site (www.naaminis.com) and order the Desantis pack for the Guardian. The P32 and one mag fits this great and it's only $19.00.

Take a look at the other thread by Cruzer for some additional product reviews.

Excellent! Congrats Bill. I'll be praying for that little sucker...helps almost as much as lube. The DeSantis pack is very nice...if maybe a little big, but I love it. NAA has excellent service too. To date I have

1) Exchanged slide/barrel for chrome
2) Bought DeSantis pack
3) Bought leather pocket holster/mag holder from Graham's leather
4) Bought Uncle Mike's #1 pocket holster and did the "Pussball" mod to fit extra mag
5) Bought two extra mags
6) Modified one mag with NAA extension
7) Modified other mag with +1 extension
8) Shot 100 rounds silvertips, 100 rounds PMC, and 200 rounds Fiocchi (no hiccups)

Good luck!

I'll second the recommendation for the Desantis Belt Pack. It really is great. It fits the P-32 & one extra mag perfectly. I also ordered it from NAA for $19.00. By the way, Desantis makes excellent gun belts which are very inexpensive.

Scromer,

You bought the DeSantis pack from NAA? How do you like it? I'm sure glad you, Mike, and I figured this thing out. It is an excellent deal for $19.

Cruzer,

I love the DaSantis pack. I tried to buy one directly from DeSantis as listed on their website. They said I would have to buy it from Beretta (private labeled for the Tomcat). I called Beretta, and after telling me twice that no such item existed, they quoted me $39.99 - ouch!!! I had looked at the one on NAA's website several times, and after seeing you and Mike post you reviews, I ordered one. I like it because it is perfect for carrying your P32 in a brief case. Where did you get your +1 mag extension from? I have considered ordering a couple from Kel-Tec, but instead I ordered the NAA extensions when I ordered the pack. I may switch back to the KT extensions since they will fit better in the DeSantis pack.

Stephen

Scromer,

Got my +1 from my local dealer for $14.95(they have been on backorder at Kel-Tec for at least two months). The +1 extension definitely helps, although it isn't as good for control as the NAA extension. I'm keeping both (1 on each mag) so I can pick and choose, and practice with both.

Are you guys talking about NAA part # RUG-32? The little guy that looks like a daytimer? That's the only thing I see from DeSantis for $19.

If this is the one, I don't see the point. Do you carry your P-32 like this or do you just use it for storage?
===========================================
Just saw the other thread on this pack. Now I get it.

I'm assuming you are honestly interested in the uses of this pack:

1) Great way to carry in my briefcase (doesn't say Kel-Tec on the front, isn't baby blue, and looks like a Palm Pilot case; clips to a side pocket)
2) Great way for my wife to carry in her purse (keeps the lint and dust out of MY gun), and clips upright to a side pocket)
3) Holds 16 rounds total (8 in gun, 8 in 7+1 mag)
4) Goes from briefcase to safe without having to handle the gun or mags (unlike my leather)
5) Goes from my briefcase to the glove box, my desk at work, my wife's purse, safe, etc. without anyone ever wondering what it is (it's a PalmPilot right?)
6) Yep. Sometimes I carry it on my belt (when my pockets are full w/ keys, wallet) or clip to my shorts that have no pockets
7) I have been known to clip it to the sun visor in my car
8) I can lock it for storage in plain view, knowing that a cheap pair of scissors won't cut into it like the crappy KT pack
9) Fits my P32 with a +1 extension on it
10) Great for carrying to the range...carry it dirty, from the range, in the KT pack

There, whew, 10 points for buying a $19, ballistic nylon, pistol+extra mag, DeSantis Belt Pack.

Just ordered the $19 rug-32 from NAA. I could not find the magazine extension thing however.

Bill,

The magazine extensions are two items below the gun rug on Guardian accesories page.

Hey BilltheCat
Picking up my P32 at noon today! Ive considered one for a long time. Finally ordered it and paid for it. Dealer said it would be in in 4 days. Its been 4 weeks. He was going out of town to pick one up for me yesterday (cause hes tired of me calling) and said I could pick it up today. Can't wait till lunch hour (yes, Im at work now..shhhh). Got to be perfect for pocket carry, which is the best way for me to carry daily at work. I work in an office and wear casual/dress with shirts tucked in. Hard to carry my P11, G26, S&W, or anything else that way. I carry a NAA 22LR now, but just dont feel good about it. Had a Beretta Tomcat for a while, but did not like it at all.

I've got a Grahms pocket holster for the P32, and it looks great. Of course, thats just the beginning. Theres the pocket clip, extra mags,other holsters, etc., etc., etc. I'll do the fluff n buff this weekend and try and get some shooting time in.
