I am looking for a recommendation on a reliable pocket carry pistol in either .32 or .30. Either a semi or hammerless revolver. I tried searching by entering the calibers but came up with nothing. My current carry is a .380 Colt, but it is not a pocket carry.

Also, is ammo available in .32 or .30? I currently have a .380 and can find zero ammo. This is an infuriating situation.

Thanks,

Mike

Keltec and NAA both make interesting .32 autos.

The best I could recommend is the Walther PPk.

You could try an SP101 in .327 mag. . . .

Maybe a bit heavy for pocket, but would be fun to shoot. :)

I have a Keltec 32. I carry it all the time. I have never add any issues with shooting it or hitting the target.

+1 on Keltec P32.
Tiny as they get, proven design. I keep mine in a black leather manicure case, with a spare mag.
I like them in navy blue grip under a hard chrome slide, but basic black goes with any wardrobe :)

aimsurplus.com has S&B ball in .32 ACP for $5.50/25 right now

I have the keltek p32 and with the holster I have it fits in my back pocket and patterns like a 2nd wallet. During the winter months I take it out of the holster and put it in my jacket pocket but be careful doing that due to obvious reasons.

Have you looked at the colt 380 pony pocketlite?

a Tokerov in 7.62x25 would be a bit bulky in the pocket... that's the only .30 cal (somewhat modern) handgun type I'm aware of.... are there others?


Just curious about the op's original question

Hey man some WWB .380 is showing up at Wal-marts & Academys. Just scooped up 400 rounds from Academy. Also been seeing some Speer Gold Dots around at a few gun shops. Hit up the Gun Shows for .380 defense ammo, but be prepared to pay for it.

Finding .380 over the last year has kinda been my quest, got so bad making the rounds that everyone recognized me and would just shake their heads as soon as I would walk in.

No help as far as the .32, have not even shot one since I was about 10.

Let us know what you get and how it performs.

My BUG is a Seecamp .32. A tad heavy, but built like a little tank.

I have gotten Corbon and Speer gold dot 380 JHP ammo within 2 weeks of order from Grafs... It is dang expensive for practice ammo, but great carry ammo. PMC 380 seems to be somewhat available too...shop around and don't wait for it to show up online, order and take the backorder. Patience is rewarded...

I stumbled across 200 rounds at Academy the other day without even looking for it.
And yes , i snapped it up .

Ruger Blackhawk in .30 Carbine. You'll need big pockets, though. (Also, make sure your accidental death and dismemberment insurance has a nice payout for loss of hearing in both ears.)
