Is Keltec the Waffle House waitress of guns?

No Lorcin or Rohm?
I have owned Rohm snubs over the years. SOME of them were no worse than Taurus or Charter snubs from the same era. My Mom currently has my Rohm snub in 32 Long. She preferred that over my Charter snubs in 38 Special. And believe it or not it came with real wood grips. Not many Rohm guns had that. I still dig their guns in 38 Special and 32 Long. I don't bother with the 22 revolvers .
As for Lorcin, Jennings, Raven, Cobra etc. I'm out on all those. There's a few interesting videos on the lineage of those "Ring of Fire" brands but I don't want any of them.
 
Ah the Kel-Tec, what a long journey it has been for them. I for one think they are pretty “innovative” in the sense that most of their designs start off as good products, and the 3D rendering design gets corrupted or deleted, and then they just eyeball what they had on a piece of paper and start cranking it out.

In all honesty i love my P32’s for wearing gym shorts or ankle carry. Is it my primary choice? Absolutely not. But I liken them to a tiny teacup dog that you tell people won’t bite and as sweet as can be and then out of nowhere it’s ripping off flesh, clamping down and inflicting as much pain as possible.

Run the Underwood 32acp Xtreme defender +P, at 1050 FPS, you will then know exactly what I meant from the above example.

I ain't judging. I own 4 Kel Tecs, 5 Hi Points and 2 Taurus.
I have owned 4 Keltecs, myself. They were accurate. Two functioned well, the other two functioned well after I bent the extractor to provide more tension. When I traded or sold them I gave the buyers 48 hours to try them out. Nobody wanted to return them. I`ve had several Taurus in the past. I had to fix feed problems on some of them. I`m a Glocker now. Only had a problem with one of them, a 42.
 
When you look at both online they seem almost identical. But the P32 is actually noticeably smaller in person. I dig my P32 and the wife took the 380 a while back. I guess she figures it's faster than a mag change in the Bodyguard.
No 32acp is not as good a performer as 380 but it's not that far apart. My P32 is loaded with Winchester Silvertip rounds. They have a pretty decent reputation.
Have you ever had a problem with rimlock? I carry Fiocchi 73G FMJ in mine after watching a Lucky Gunner review/testing of 32ACP ammo on Youtube. Apparently they make a 60G JHP that is a little hotter than the FMJ. Thinking I need to get a box and hit the range.
