Might want to ask the question over here... L W Seecamp Forum
I have a Seecamp .25 (same size as the .32 as well as the .380) that I haven't shot in 10+ years. Recoil wasn't a problem, don't recall the slide being overly stiff, trigger pull wasn't especially long or heavy. Except for the recoil I would expect the .32 model to be at least as good (and maybe better since manufactured later). Seecamp has/had a very good reputation for quality. Recoil for the .32 probably is typical. (I have an Autauga .32 that's about the same size as the Seecamp .32, recoil is sharp and the trigger pull takes forever, definitely not a gun to shot for fun.)

I have both the .32 and the .380. Small gun run flawless while I have the .380 sent back as it won't run any ammo I have tried.

I have a keltec 32 so thats the only 32 i have to compare it to and ive read here and there that the p32 is abnormally soft shooting.

I wasnt even going to consider the 380.
Have you shot the keltec p32 for comparison? What pistols have you fired that were similar in snap?

What is your proposed use of the .32 ??

For its day (which has passed) it was a fantastic pocket pistol. Designed for a specific purpose, really to deliver a specific cartridge in a self defense in extremis situation.
But, one would be better served by the subcompact, polymer pistols in full power 9mm, IMHO.

I have never shot any other .32 except for a Beretta and never considered it at all. I was told about the Seecamp and then did some research and as others have said it is only a pocket gun. Without sights or safety it is designed for close work and with that being said I think it's the best out there for that type of work. If I ever have to use it I would expect the muzzle to be touching or no more than a couple of feet from it's target.
That type of gun has it's place, for most of my CC I use the Ruger LC9S, Commander 1911, Standard 1911, and Ruger P90DC for the truck gun.

This is for my wife CCW. Which is why there is a concern for the stiffness of the recoil spring. With such a small mass slide it usually requires a stronger spring to compensate but then again my P-32 isnt too hard to rack and its really a soft shooter for its light weight. My Taurus 905 Instant Backup in 9mm is like 3 times the weight of the P-32 and even with Winny White Box target junk it hurts to shoot.

I considered them. Theyre still under consideration with the Kimber Solo Carry, S&W Shield and the Springfield XD-S 9 3.3 in the lead. Shes handled most and the S&W Bodyguard in .380 was her favorite hands down. She hasnt shot any of them and we cant find a NAA or Seecamp in .32 or .380 for her to get her hands around.

I would think that most SD situations that a woman would find themselves in would be within a couple feet. Purse snatchings, attempted rapes, etc.
