I've been carrying this little Keltec P32 for a couple years now. Many rounds through it, trusted, dependable, ect...Noticed a little rattle a while back but haven't thought anything about it. Figured it was a loose/misaligned round in the mag. Broke it down for a cleaning today and found the main/hammer spring is broken/rusted in two. Thank GOD I haven't NEEDED it! I will say, I'm not very good about regular cleaning, but I do blow the pocket lint out of the barrel and spray it with Remoil fairly often, not wanting rust on the barrel or slide. From now on, I will be paying more attention to the "hidden" internals. On the bright side, it's time for upgraded springs!

I had one of these for years. I really liked it I found it to be pretty darn accurate and went bang 100% of the time when I pulled the trigger. I guess anything given enough time and sweat will give up. Im interested to hear if the springs and replacement parts are available.

I have the P3AT. Goes with me EVERYWHERE. I will say this....In my experience, the P32s like yours are a good bit more accurate then the P3AT like mine. Got a buddy with the P32 and I am still trying to talk him out of it.
Keltec will send new springs for free- not too hard to install.
People will make fun of the cheap pocket pistols. I have had two of these with absolutely no issues with either one.
i think the lcp spring is the same. pretty much the same little gun..
About the same platform. The LC9 was design based on the PF9... Is the pic the 9 or the 380?
I like em, carry as EDC backup for 45 XDS, has crimson trace laser since sights are basically just speed bumps, goes bang though and with the new Civil Defense bullets, smoking at 1000 FSP.
