Wouldn't it be nice to have a 22 caliber conversion kit for the p32? We could practice with cheap ammo and reserve the more expensive 32 for carry and occassional practice. ------------------

Okay, I like your idea better... mine was just to make a P22 on the same frame as a P32... Alright, so who's buddies with Kel-Tec? ------------------ [This message has been edited by Onslaught (edited April 10, 2001).]

Why bother with 22 ammo, when you have very inexpensive ammo like FN surplus available for only aout $2.25 for 25 rounds? Mike ------------------

Well,I really wouldn't want to convert mine,I like the .32 for it's better ballistics in this size pistol. But,as small and light as the p-32 is. It doe's make me wonder where the bright mind's that conceived of the p-11 and p-32 could go with a .22? a 4 oz or 5 oz 11 round pistol? the thought boggle's the mind.{hope they are listening :) } I GUARANTEE I WOULD BUY ONE!! But,even if they build an identical model in a.22 I WOULD BUY ONE!! cheap .22 are $.02 ea. ------------------

Mike - Because I can get 500 rounds of .22 for $9.99 at WallyWorld! That's $.99 per box of 50, and I don't have to order it, wait for it, pay for hazzard fees and shipping charges... I just swing by Wally's and grab a box on the way to the range for a grand total of $10.69, including tax. Plinker - I'm with you...I would never carry it as a defensive weapon, because certainly the ballistics of .32 are better than any rimfire, but for me, .22 is the ultimate fun-gun to shoot. that's also why I would buy ANOTHER one in .22, instead of just a conversion.

HEY! KEL-TEC! LISTEN UP! Sounds like a great idea. I'd snatch up a "p22" yesterday if it existed ------------------

Well,actually,the 22 magnum in it's hottest loadings may beat the p-32 buy a tad.but the shells are so long I doubt a really compact pistol could be developed.and a.32 hole is a .32 hole even if the hollowpoint does'nt expand.I SURE WISH THEY WOULD REPEAL THAT STUPID A** over 10 round magazine ban.as all it has done is deprive poor people,sure hasn't STOPPED THE VIOLENCE!! now has it. ------------------

Before you count on .22Mag outperforming .32ACP, check the length of the test barrel. Most .22Mag is designed for longer barrels, and sucks out of a 2" tube. ------------------

Aaaaaghhh!! you got me!! You are absolutely correct. I stand corrected.The .22 mag needs that longer barrel.out of a two inch barrel it is no match for a .32 acp.please accept my humblest appology. ------------------
