i dont know much about the p32 but i bought my GF a p3at with a ctc laser and she loves it. i told her how that many people think it kicks to hard, she just laughs. she wasnt into guns before i met her, now she just wants to go shooting all the time. i know that ctc sells a laser for the p32. this is only my opinion but i would consider just getting her the p3at. i would rather have a little more ooph in case she needs to use it. the p3at couldnt kick that much more than the p32, could it? all i know is that the GF usually out shots me with her p3at than with mine. i wouldnt mess with her. good luck on whatever you chose.
