Wish I had found this site before I bought the P-32 so I would have known a litle more about what to look for in a new K T. I bought one #43xxx from another dealer, went to range & it wouldn't extract -thought perhaps a good cleaning would help & thats when I discovered the chamber had numerous deep score marks (gouges) from the chambering reamer. Went back to dealer & checked another gun-same problem-looked at 3rd(& last) gun he had & it looked O.K. -swapped barrels & back to range. Shot better but stil had extraction problems and the cases had a very obvious bulge on one side. Called Kel-Tec - sent top end (slide,bbl,recoil spring) back & got it back in one week with a new bbl. Works much better. Did the F&B & yesterday only had one failure to extract so perhaps a few more rounds will make this bbl. right. Problem is that 3 barrels in one shippment of guns were bad and got sent out.

My P32 was rough in the chamber also. It would not chamber the last round in the clip sometimes. I took sandpaper on a pencil and put it a drill press and smoothed out the chamber. I also installed Wolff 11 lb recoil spring. Also installed Wolff 10% heavier spring in the magazines. WORKS PERFECTLY NOW.

Who sells the Wolff springs for P-32? Will try anything to improve reliability because I really want to be able to carry this gun.
