Pocket/Purse .32acp
I am about to purchase a pocket/purse .32acp for my wife.
I know Seecamp is the Cadillac of this class but would a NAA Guardian or Keltec be an acceptable alternate given the price and availability of the Seecamp? (lets not get into the .32acp vs .380 vs 9mm)
On the auction side there is a very good deal available on a Guardian at a 'Blowout Price[:)]

Have your wife take a look at the Colt 1903.
Heavier yes, but slim and a nice grip. They go bang every time also.0 -
The NAA Guardian is well built but very heavy for its size.
Have her hold, and if possible shoot one of each.
Just holding each one may help.0 -
My wife is a loyal carrier of the KelTec .380 P3AT. Since it is the same size as their .32, she figured she would prefer the larger round. It is reliable, very slim, and light enough that she WILL carry it with her instead of leaving it behind due to weight or size. 0 -
My daughter carries a NAA Guardian .380 and loves it. It is heavy for size, but that does dampen the recoil. The Keltec is lighter, but I haven't had good luck with them. 0 -
I like the Colt '03 suggestion...solid as a rock, but not DA, so that makes it a bit of a challenge to work with in an emergency. Have some experience with both the Kel-Tec and NAA guns, and would vote for the NAA as I loke the added weight to soak up recoil. 0 -
I carried the Kel-Tec P-32 untill the P-3AT came out.
Both are reliable with most ammo. I had to do some feed ramp on both so they will feed anything.
I had a Beretta for a few years but went to the lighter Kel-Tec.
The Beretta might be one for you to look at also.0 -
I, my wife, and my daughter all carry Keltec P32s. We can afford to carry any gun we want, but the little K/Ts serve the purpose admirably.
I own Keltec P3ATs, A Beretta Tomcat .32, and a NAA Guardian .32. If she wants a .32 I can't recommend the Keltec more highly.0 -
I have a 32ACP Seecamp, it is very nice. Never has failed to function or fire. Forget the 60 gr JHP bullet, go with the Buffalo Bore 75 gr Lead FP bullet. They call it a 32 ACP +P. Snappy recoil. 0 -
Get the Beretta. 0 -
Been carrying a KelTec P32 for several years, see no need to change. Wife has one too, she prefers her Walther P22 to shoot but she doesn't carry so it's a moot point.
I would rather have a KelTec in my pocket than a SeeCamp on order. Heck, I would rather have a KelTec and a bunch of bucks in my pocket than a SeeCamp and an empty wallet.
As some have said, you might look at the PF9 or P3AT instead of a P32 but I've got two P32's and carry them almost all the time (well, not into the shower but........)
