How does it run?

Did anyone ever hear any more about this gun? Would be highly interested. Arthritis is playing heck on the old hands.

The Kel-Tec P-32 polymer framed .32ACP came out in 1999.... 24 years ago.
werywin@reddit (OP)
P-32 was low capacity (7+1) so we thought to come up with something at par with Glocks

Who is “we”?

Sorry I meant my company

Why make it in 32? 25 has a niche because it’s more reliable than rimfire and guns can be much smaller even though the round is underpowered. 32 is close enough in size to 380 but significantly less powerful so it doesn’t make sense.
So why not just make it in 380?
werywin@reddit (OP)
380 ammo is expensive in some countries compared to 32ACP, BTW 32ACP is centerfire ammunition.
Batttler@reddit
Yeah, 32 is pretty expensive too, and I know it’s center fire.
I was saying that 25 is almost as small as 22, but it’s more reliable because it isn’t rimfire like 22 is.

There is a Glock 42 in 32 acp
Civil_Charge2153@reddit
Actually Glock 42 is chambered in .380
Icy-Ask-2308@reddit
There is a glock 42 version in 32 acp. google it
Civil_Charge2153@reddit
Well I’m sure someone has made one in the past, I guess I misread your comment. I googled it but couldn’t find any could you possibly send me the link to some builds
Icy-Ask-2308@reddit
There is a zev z32 glock 42 conversion in 32 acp and a salient arms. I also found this on youtube https://youtube.com/watch?v=UdnQJWdJxXA
Civil_Charge2153@reddit
Interesting stuff may I ask what are the benefits of 32 acp compared to 380?
TacTurtle@reddit
Suppresses quieter
werywin@reddit (OP)
Certainly

Sure will, check out www.werywin.com

Is it the same size as a Glock 19 or more Glock 43 size?
werywin@reddit (OP)
Same size as a Glock 19
UnhappyLibrary1120@reddit
So it’s lighter when you have to throw it at someone?
werywin@reddit (OP)
And lighter recoil too, just incase you decide to fire it :-)
Riker557118@reddit
Didn’t Keltec already do that with the p-32, or was that an internal hammer design?
werywin@reddit (OP)
I assume P-32 is an internal hammer design but with lower magazine capacity. This model has mag capacity comparative to a Glock
NotAGTCSockPuppet@reddit
They use a hammer.
NotAGunGrabber@reddit
Great.
What is it?
werywin@reddit (OP)
A Glock 19 platform configured in 32 ACP with decent magazine capacity.
TacTurtle@reddit
Looks like a Lone Wolf Dist. Timberwolf frame.
