(Which was actually a very good deal at the time.) It became my off-duty gun, and backup gun, worn clipped to the inside of my ballistic vest. It was a marvel, in that it was at the time the lightest 9mm that I knew of. The actual serial-numbered receiver was an aluminum insert that set in the plastic body. The 'frame,' as I thought of it, was a plastic body that saved a lot of weight. It was at its time something of an innovation. For under $200 in many shops, a citizen could buy a small 9mm pistol that weighed well under a pound, which would carry 11 shots.ĭouble action only, the was safe to carry, and it could be had with a nifty belt clip on it. If you were willing to accept another several ounces to the package, you could get a Colt Officer's ACP, but you would blow your budget. If you wanted a gun that weighed about a pound or less, you pretty much had J-frame Airweight S&W revolvers firing 5 shots of.38 Spl. Back in the mid-to-late 1990's, when we were first beginning to see the first wave of states (including Texas) making concealed carry by its citizens an option, the choice in affordable, concealable, lightweight carry pistols in a decent caliber was pretty thin. Never had the frame out of the grip, buffed the firing pin and hand spun a #20 drill through the tunnel, slightly chamfered the f/p hole.

Sorry to say will be sending it to Kel-Tec tomorrow approx 350 rounds through it, light primer strikes almost every mag, fails to extract sometimes twice a mag, takedown pin works it's way out of the frame, plastic is bowed out where retaining spring sits. That seems kinda short to be a serial number. There is something on the back above the handle that says- CHU20. RE: where is the serial # on the Kel-Tec p-32? I have a Kel-Tec p-32 and im not sure where the serial number is.
