The main reason was at that time there were very few choices for a concealable gun, other than a snubby or a ppk. The 25 Bauer, colt, and Baby Browning were the preferred backup guns or off duty guns in the 60-70's for many LEO's. But to me I could buy an older one for a lot less if I wanted one. Precision arms make a new version "copy" of the 25 Baby Browning, they are quite expensive, and would be nice if you had an extra 600+ to throw away at one. 25 is, but more expensive (typically) than is. When it does, the round whose rim is behind that of the next round will not feed from the magazine.Ĭareful attention when loading can prevent this, as can spacers made for and inserted into the magazine (Kel-Tec even offers one for the P32.) But, if they're shorter and there is room for forward/back movement/rattle in the mag, it can happen. This condition is known as "rimlock." If the rounds are long enough (such as FMJ-RN), there won't be room for this to happen in most mags. But, it also may become lodged behind the rim of the case beneath it in a pistol magazine. This allows it to be fired in revolvers chambered in. The cartridge has one cautionary detail: its rim is slightly wider than the case shell is. My initial-impression of it is the subject of this thread: I'm very pleased with it, for its intended purpose. I have the Kel-Tec P32 as a deep-conceal piece that is only carried while traveling to and from my no-carry job site.
