For the past 15 years, the tiny locked breech .32ACP pistol made from South Florida has proved itself time after time. While some would deride them as ‘cute’ or ‘too small to carry’ these neat but effective little guns have been unseen in the best places.

George Kellgren, the Willy Wonka of affordable polymer pistols has since the 1980s produced a number of interesting and well-received guns. From his first company, Intratec, to Grendel, to his current Kel-Tec, he has always concentrated on guns in .380ACP, 9x19mm, and .22 rimfire. Well in 1999, he decided to see what could be done for the ultra-compact, ultra-light CCW market if he downsized his already well-known line of .380 pistols and went with an even smaller .32ACP. If it could be made small enough, it would be a contender as a BUG (back up gun) for law enforcement officers concealed in ankle holsters, as a deep-concealment piece for plainclothes or undercover detectives, or as a super light defensive pistol for civilian concealed carry practitioners.
