A .32 in the pocket is better than an empty hand.

I bought the soon-to-be-ex ball & chain a Beretta .32ACP and it works fine....................one thing though with these semi-autos, many factory loads don't feed well - they seem a little under-powered. The Win Silvertips, CCI Gold Dots & Fed HydraShoks all are dependable feeders. I handload them now on the high side and NEVER have any feed failures anymore.

BTW -- the Kel-tecs are OK. They are definitely not gonna last forever, but will probably last forever as a carry piece as long as you don't put 100rds through it every week for life.
