The Taurus PT732 is a compact, semi-automatic pistol designed for concealed carry and personal protection. It is chambered in .32 ACP and features a 6+1 round capacity. The pistol has a polymer frame with a stainless steel slide and barrel.
The PT732 has a double-action-only trigger system, which means that each trigger pull both cocks and releases the hammer. It also has a manual safety on the left side of the frame. The sights are fixed and the gun does not have a rail for adding accessories.
The PT732 is very small and light, weighing just 12.3 ounces unloaded. Its overall length is only 5.25 inches, with a height of 3.5 inches and a width of 0.9 inches. This makes it very easy to conceal, even in tight clothing or small purses.
Despite its small size, the PT732 is surprisingly comfortable to shoot. The grip is textured to provide a secure hold, and the recoil is manageable thanks to the pistol's low weight and mild cartridge. However, the sights are small and can be difficult to see in low-light conditions.
Cleaning the PT732 is straightforward, although disassembly requires a bit of care due to its small size. Field-stripping involves locking the slide back, removing the magazine, pushing out two pins, then removing the slide and barrel assembly. The pistol can then be cleaned like any other semi-automatic handgun.
In conclusion, the Taurus PT732 is a reliable and affordable option for those seeking a discreet, easy-to-carry pistol for personal defense. Its small size may make it less suitable for range training or extended shooting sessions, but for its intended purpose it is an excellent choice.
