My New P3... Thanks Flyer! (a.k.a. The Great .32NAA thread)

[rhinokrk]

Yesterday, I received my new 32NAA conversion from Flyer. It came just as advertised, unfired. He forgot his son had fired off one of the boxes so he through in a Hedley mag carrier, spare mag, and a cool hearing enhancer, that can be used under ear muffs. Here’s a couple pics of my new baby.

NAA on the right, of course...

Shown with the Hedley mag holder stamped "KT 32naa"

To sum up, I got;

1 Unfired 32NAA conversion (Ultra rare, to say the least)
3 boxes of Corbon 60gr JHP
1 Hedley mag holder
1 spare mag
1 cool hearing gadget

For the hefty price of...











$206

THANK YOU Flyer, you gave me the most amazing deal I have yet to find on a pistol. IMO.

It's a little late to go to the range, so look for a report tomorrow.

Glad ya like it, rhinokrk!
If you're like me, you might start leaving the .380 version at home. The .32 NAA is a flamethrower!

Rodger that.
As soon as I get more ammo through this rocket, it's in my pocket. This is one loud MF, and more controllable to shoot. Is it just me or is the 32naa more shoot-able than the 380?

Range report:
Last night I put 60 32naa rounds and 50 Santa Barbara 380 downrange, through the same frame. The only issue I had was only 60 rnds of 32naa.

Pre-firing prep work:
Polished the feed ramp and chamber, replaced the old school "ribbed" recoil spring guide rod (nice to have extra parts), and cleaned with Hoppes #9, soaked and heated with Militec-1, and lubed as required.

Grouping:

both were within an inch of each other
3 yrds, largest group 5"
5 yrds, largest group 7.6"
all rapid fire drills.
funny thing is the 32naa double taps almost touched each other. While the 380 were "spread" out.
0 malfunctions.

Overall thoughts:

The ONLY reasons Kel Tec doesn't produce this, In my mind anyway is: 1~NAA is a direct competitor to KT, with a specialized round. 2~related to 1, local ammo availability, in this price range many would not be willing to special order Corbon ammo.

You waited for it for a long time. Congrats rhinokrk, you must be fired up to get your hands on one!

Who is the manufacturer of this conversion? North American
Arms? Or KelTec?

Kel-Tec CNC.

Thanks. Stop over at Rick's for a cure for that indigestion.

A while back, KT put together some FG uppers with barrels made in .32NAA, and sold the conversions to KTrange regulars. About 10 were made, a few have been sold to other members.
