Anyone have an opinion on Seecamp LWS 32?

[mightymouse]

Just got this one today--Seecamp LWS 32 in .32 ACP. Anyone had any firsthand experience with one? They've got their fan boys on the Web, but I am looking for the good and the bad about these little guns. No one will be flamed for an inflammatory opinion, I just want to know what YOU know about this gun. Regards,
Ron

You have a 416 or 17-4PH stainless model. Nothing wrong with that, just an older weapon. Typically, these are carried much and shot little, but since it is new to you, I would buy a replacement slidespring, and an extra trigger spring.

They are absolutely a best-of.

You'll want to go to the Seecamp forums, and see what the latest recommendations are on ammo. Pretty much, ammo issues relate to OAL of individual manufacturer's loads, and given the price of .32ACP HPs, trial and error gets expensive. I believe CorBon Powrball and GoldDots are on "the list". I have a store of Fiocci JHPs that I laid in some years ago, so I haven't shot newer stuff.

I have a pair. Wouldn't trade or sell them.

It would be hard to do much better. They are like a Rolex. You can feel the quality when you pick it up and handle it. They shoot real smooth also, perhaps due to the all metal stainless steel construction.

Round-nose bullets are too long for the magazine, which is why most of the ammo recommended is hollow point. But for something cheaper you can usually do well with the FMJ Winchester which have the flattened nose.

Thanks for the replies, gentlemen. Haven't had the chance to shoot it yet, but I do have a box of Hornady XTP rounded up, which is on the recommended list for the newer guns.

I have never shot anything but WW Silvertips in mine. It works well. I has the .25 cal version and now the .32. I am looking for a good deal on a .380.

I have had mine for about 12 years with no problems at all. I always carry Silvertips or GoldDots and have never experienced a jam.
