340pd-

Do u have the 380 or is that ur only one? I cant imagine shooting the 380 with that recoil...

[ripley16]

While on vacation, I saw a new one for sale in a gun shop, listed for only $399. I was tempted to get another. I love my little Seecamp.

Small evolution of parts. Replaced some of my old worn out parts with new a few years ago. Note the differences in some. Even with a broken spring the gun still functioned.

My Seecamp stuff. Homemade take-down tool in the lower left side.

Old mag style versus new. The old one worked but it was messed up and hard to take apart.

Ripley-

I also fpund an old used one at my lgs. Looked like it had been shot a lot and never cleaned. Also something very wrong with trigger. The slide was so sticky that when u pulled it back it stayed that way! I think someone pilled trigger with the mag not inserted. The worst part is they wanted 500 for it!

Needless to say i passed. Got this new one for less then there old crappy one including custized serial number.

y'all are driving me to do something I don't "need" to do:D

stop with the pictures... I need to spend my limited funds on reloading and load development for the guns I already have.

At the moment there's only a couple of firearms on my "short list" ahead of the LWS32, so it is in the near (relatively speaking) future.

[Bawanna]

I've always been kind of enamored with the Seecamp too. The 32 for sure, not the 380 which I'm told needs a recoil spring about every 100 rounds. The 32 would suit me fine.

Maybe someday right after mr surveyor gets his ifffen he don't get the last one.

I been running my reloading press and plan to do a lot more this week, took the rest of the week off. Actually beat all the girls I work with for the first time so I got it. No sense in having bullets and powder that aren't ready to launch.

Working on 45 Colt to start. Out of 45 ACP bullets, that sucks for a 1911/ PM45 guy, gotta tell ya.

[scotty_MK9]

Bawanna- did u ever buy that 1911 norinco that one guy was sellin. Looked like a slick piece. Nice addition to anyones collection...

[Bawanna]

Naw, I think he found a buyer though before he even listed it. I didn't have the marbles or I'd have probably gave it a home.
Man can't have enough 1911's although my quest is to find out just how many is enough. So far, not even close.

I'm wearing my Ruger SR1911 with my Buckeye Burl grips for Sunday go to meetin today with the PM45 on the ankle as usual.

Be nice, be kind, have a plan to kill everyone you meet. Good motto.

Got a bunch of family coming over so the whips been cracking all day and soon I'll be on the barbecue. I think God created barbecues so women could boss men around while they cook and tell them every error of their ways.

All except my cyber brides of course, they would never nag, right?

the sea camp 32 is a cute gun but for me lacks firepower compared to the 380 which are about the same size and far far more ammo round choices to. Just sayin

[340pd]

340pd-

Do u have the 380 or is that ur only one? I cant imagine shooting the 380 with that recoil...

Mine is the .32. These guns are "elevator guns" Surprise, and up very, very close. If I ever need to shoot this thing, the caliber won't make any difference. The powder burns will be very visible on both of us.

[scotty_MK9]

Yep its a stick it up there nose and pull the trigger gun. A lot off ppl say 32 acp isnt enough but i think for the guns inteaded purpose it would work. Better then no gun for sure.

[scotty_MK9]

Jocko- yes i agree the 380 would be better in some ways... But i also would hate to deal with the recoil. Kinda like how ur always sayin u would pick the pm9 over the pm40, well thats kinda how i feel with the seecamp. I know they are not meant for much range use but even twice a year practising with that 380 would be too much for me.

The LWS380 is the Muhammad Ali of mouse guns. Floats like a butterfly in your pocket and stings like a bee in your hand. If you can score a Matt Del Fatti pocket holster, you've got a hand me down that will serve you and the lucky bugger you pass it down to.

Totally personalized with SN of my initials and year of birth.

I sold my .32 (Beretta Tomcat) it just didn't make much sense to me, when you could have a .380 in just a little larger package. I am kind of intererested in that .32 NAA round, with a .32 on a necked down .380. The ballistics look pretty good on it, but I'm not that interested in it that I'm going to buy one. There is only one ammo maker for it (I think) and just a couple pistols chambered for it, one of which is a Diamondback, and I've had my fill of Diamondbacks. The NAA .380 might make a good choice, seems like a solid little pistol, I'd like to see them make a .32NAA conversion barrel for the .380 so you could try it out, without investing in a new pistol. There is some argument as to whether this round is more effective than a .380, I look at it kind of like the .357 Sig. A smaller bullet with more propellant should give you a hefty increase in velocity and penetration, the .32 is a small bullet for a pistol, but if it's going fast enough it should get the job done. It would be most likely a BUG for me, and not my main line of defense, which is either a .45 or 9mm, Just something more effective than throwing rocks if your main gun has a problem.
It's not a big deal to me, just like kicking the idea around.

[jocko]

kel tek used to make a 32NAA semi but dropped it. I think ur right about the ammo maker and that round is certanly not cheap either. To be honest I can'tsay I ever read alot of reports on the reliability of the 32 NAA in the kel teks either. I think those that had um just never realy tested them out to much as there was no range fodder cheapo rounds. I think the novelt of it suckered some in. Would not be something I would want to own..

If I am not mistaken, if u owned the kel tek 380 then the 32 NAA barrel would just drop right in and u could use the 380 magazine, as it was basically a 380 brass necked down to 32 caliber--I THINK.:7:

Last year when I got my DB9, I pretty much had no use for the DB380 any longer. Then they came out with the .32NAA conversion barrel for the DB380 and breathed new life into the pistol for me. I did a write up on the .32 and .32NAA here. http://mousegunaddict.blogspot.com/2011/09/look-at-32-acp-and-32-naa.html

Overall, I was underwhelmed by the Corbon .32NAA ammo. The FMJ wasn't bad at 1000+ fps. The hollow points were only 30 fps faster than the regular Corbon .32 ACP with the same bullet.

.32 NAA ammo isn't too horribly priced. $27 for a box of 50 FMJ and $22 for a box of 20 JHPs.
