I got to the range today. The first couple clips I had the 7th round hangup on me but after about 75 rounds it started to clear up, only happened 2 or 3 more times.

As for accuarcy I was blown away. I was shooting from 10'-15'. I had nice 4"-5" group. Very impressive. Some of my groups were to the left for some reason. The sights takle a bit to get use to since they are so small I ended up looking over the sights to shoot & did pretty good that way. Any tips for better site alignment would be great?

I must say though I shot horrible w/my glock after shooting the .32, I think the difference in kick had a lot to do w/that.

I went to clean it today & got a really good look at it, wow this thing gets pretty dirty after 150 rounds. Very Happy The inside of the barrel will not come out completly clean yet. I am using a bore scubber to disolve the build up but after 2 applications it has not all come out yet.

The correct sight picture for the P-32 is to COVER the target with the triangular front sight, then balance the front sight on the rear sight. That'll put 'em on target.
As of for shooting to the left, you're likely squeezing the trigger with the first joint of your finger, allowing the base of the finger to push against the frame as the pistol fires, throwing it off to the left. Try using the first pad of your finger instead.
You probably had problems with your Glock because you were flinching a bit after the P-32. Some practice will make this problem disappear. Cool

Thanks for the tips.

When you say balance the front sight on the rear sight do you mean that the front sight will be on top of the rear?
I think what I was doing is putting the front sight directly on my target (center of mass) then looking at the rear sight rather then balancing the front sight. I also tried to use the sights like I do on the glock which most likely did not help me.

Now I just need to get it from catching that last round each clip. I am going to put a few more rounds through it then if it still catches on the last round I will try the F&B. I am hoping that the use will do some of the work. Or should I just sand it down a little my self?

Thanks

Yes, align the front sight up so it appears to balance on top of the rear - and ALWAYS focus on the front sight, no matter WHAT pistol you're using.
If it's gradually stopping the feeding problems on it's own, you might not need to mess with it... just shoot it some more and it'll likely take care of itself (break in). Cool

Thanks I appreciate the help. I hope do to the lack of replies from others that they did not get the wrong impression of me, I was not trying to be a jerk in my line of work I need the guns to perform on & off duty. I wasn't trying to piss anyone off or shoot anyone down.

I didn't think I would like this gun as much as I do, it just kind of grew on me real quick. Very Happy I may end up picking up a p3at in the future.
