32 ACP, the company brought the true pocket pistol into modern times. I have to wonder how many of them, purchased with the good intent of daily carry, will ultimately end up at home in a drawer because they just aren’t small or light enough.Ībout 15 years ago, when Kel-Tec introduced its polymer-framed P-32 pistol in. They are significantly smaller than their full-sized brethren, but they are by no means small when compared to true pocket pistols-guns that fit within your open hand. 40 S&W pistols are currently very popular for concealed carry. Second, the production efficiencies of the material generally reduced the cost of firearms.Ĭompact, lightweight, polymer-framed. First, the weight reduction realized with polymer grip frames makes it easier to carry larger-caliber handguns than in the past. From a concealed-carry standpoint, the polymer era has had at least two major effects. Have dies and a mould, so one of these days I'll load some myself.In the last few decades, the use of polymers in firearms manufacturing has revolutionized the industry and dramatically changed the types of firearms Americans carry for protection. Have a box of American Eagle to try, but one thing and another I haven't yet. It runs fine on Speer Gold Dot premium, but that's too expensive for everyday. It isn't happy with Magtech ammo one or two Failures to Eject in every magazine-full. Yes, mine likes the ammo loaded a bit hot. The lug on the barrel is a very tight fit in the frame. The more spares I have, the less likely it is that I'll need them, is my theory. My spares kit for the gun has three, plus one guide from Numrich and two that I made on the lathe. I found one in a hardware store selection that works, though. 32ACP pistol?Īt last viewing, Numrich had firing pins and the guide. Maybe because nobody else there wanted a. (In frustration I eventually drilled a 1/16" cross hole in it so I could insert a pin to hold it while I put the slide back on. FURTHERMORE it is essential that the grip safety not be compressed while reassembling, which is next to impossible to do. If it slips, and I guarantee you it will, the spring and the guide will be fired across the room to fetch up in some invisible spot under the furniture. Getting it back together by the book involves compressing the spring and catching the rear of the spring guide in a shallow detent in the slide, which is chancy at best. As you lift the slide off the frame the mainspring will launch itself and the spring guide if you forgot to pull the trigger to relax it. Those Chermins must have had good eyes the sights are tiny.ĬAUTION: The takedown of the gun is tricky, and reassembly trickier still. Reading up, they were supposed to be a popular target gun during the interwar years.
