Question Good deal on P32?

My dealer has a like new P32 with the box, pouch, one mag and belt clip for $225. He's holding it for me. I like more power than the 32, but it's hard to conceal anything much bigger in hot weather. I usually use a 638 S&W or a Glock 26.
Plus, he'll honor the Keltec warranty on the gun. I've read that the 32 ACP has pretty good stopping power in the Silvertips or equal.
So, do you men/ ladies think this is a good deal? Please, I need your input.

Personally, I think the 32 APC is a little light for a carry weapon but the 32 you have with you is better than the .45 you left at home.

My wife carries one. She has very small hands (think 6 year old child) so she has a hard time getting a grip on anything much bigger. She likes it a lot and its better than no gun at all. I'll tell her to think of it as really strong pepper spray.

I haven't shopped around lately, and I know prices have soared since the last gun I bought, but $225 seems fair to me. I think I paid $180 for hers a couple years ago. You should try to get him to include an extra mag if you can. The only way to lock back the slide for disassembly is with an empty magazine.

To me, the P32 is too small. I feel like I ned tweezers to shoot it. The PF9 is more comfortable to me, fires a more powerful round, and conceals just fine for me.

Yes its a good deal , I just bought a 380 and it was $260. The "experts" claim that a 32 with silvertips is better than a 380 with standard ammo. So if loaded with defensive ammo (Glaser safety slug, Winchester silver tips etc.) you will be better off. I loaded Hornaday 90 gr. XTP's in my 380. You have one advantage with the 32, you can still find ammo. I see 32 ammo all over but no 380.

I have a P32 and shoot nothing but silvertips out of it. I have the extended 10 shot and a 7 shot magazine.
