first Kel-Tec
« on: October 26, 2011, 09:19:25 PM »
picked up a P-32, 2 nd gen. at a fair price, received 2 boxes of Rem. 71 gr FMJ and 2 boxes of priv partizan 71 gr FMJ. the Rems run through it great. the privs FTE about every other round, once in a while it will rechamber the spent round, it cocks the hammer, pull trigger, click, you think, FTF, rack the slide and out pops ths emty round.Why? any of you P-32 owners have any problems with priv partizan ammo? the old adage "you get what you pay for" seems to hold up in this case.

I've never used anything but Winchester Silver Tips in mine. Never had a failure of any kind with it.

In my P3AT and PF9 I've used a variety of FMJ and JHP ammo and again so far no failures of any kind.

I don't use foreign made ammo in my guns tho only US made so can't speak to what the brand you are having problems with does.

Pretty obvious it's the ammo not the gun. Use what works and toss the other.

Yep, always try different flavors so you know what not to use. I have used mag-tech HP's, Gold Dot's HP's,Silver Tips, remmie FMJ, S&B FMJ, and all have functioned reliably with my three magazines.  The S&B is good ammo but feels noticibly hotter and I don't shoot much of it in my pistols at all other than to check function and accuracy.  I prefer speer gold dots and winnie silver tips for carry ammo.

My PF9 did that "click" thing on the second shot usually until I held the grip firmly.  Has not since.
