So, semi serious question.

for carrying the 32 acp (that’s funny) would I be better off with just ball ammo? I’m afraid HP is too small, and won’t expand or penetrate good.

thoughts?

I absolutely ALWAYS use Winchester Silvertip in my P32 and the Wife's. It has a surprising record for being able to expand reliably in .32ACP, yet penetrate deeply enough to do real damage.
Back before I found some Silvertip, I bought other stuff I hoped might do almost as well, like Cor-Bon. That stuff has some SERIOUS recoil out of the .32, and will damned near take it out of your hand unless you've got the extended mags.

BTW, other thing that's great about the Kel-Tec in particular is that it's a delayed lock-breech, compared to others that are straight blowback. This means better velocity (even out of that tiny barrel), a lighter gun, and less felt recoil (because the slide is lighter than a blowback). Since their introduction, I think others have copied the idea - but mostly in .380, not .32ACP.

Carried the P-32 today at the bridge run. Stupid light. I think I’ll like this.

It's all you'll want to carry after you've carried it a few times. That's why I can't own a tiny gun like that anymore. I find myself saying "I'll just use it to go to the gas station or the store real quick." Then I end up saying "meh, fuck it, I'll just carry it for today this one time." Then that's all I end up carrying because it's just so damn easy. It took me a while to get used to carrying my P-07 again after I got rid of my last LCP II.
