Featured How do I replace the grip on my p32?

So the used p32 I am getting has a pink grip. I think I might want to replace it with a different color. I found the grips here on the Kel tec website. https://www.keltecweapons.com/p-32-grip-available-in-black-gray-or-olive-1058

How do I replace my pinks grip with one of these? I have searched for instructions on youtube and on this site but have come up empty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Nice! Thanks a bunch.

P-32 Grip comes with the following parts assembled in grip:

•P32-205 Magazine Catch.
•P32-208 Magazine Catch Spring.
•P32-272 Hammer Block.
•P32-273 Hammer Block Spring.
•P32-270 Hammer Block Axis.
•P32-202 Frame Pin (Quantity: 2)

So it should go pretty easy. I'll bet somebody will buy my pink grip to do one for the woman in their life!

 

Thanks a bunch folks! I'll let you know how it goes. They are supposed to be shipping the pistol today. Shouldn't take too long from Montana to Idaho I wouldn't think.

 

Well here it is in all it's glory! Nice tight little pistol. If you look closely at the picture, either the grip is dirty with carbon or the pink is kinda wearing off. I don't know if the kel tec grips are painted or solid color. Looks like that might be a chip in the grip near the muzzle. Looking at this one I might just remove the frame and paint the grip black with Krylon Fusion and call it good. I don't want to invest $45 for a new colored frame just to have the paint rub off in my pocket anyway. I talked 'em down a tad and got it for $135 so I may want to just keep it a bargain and not put any more money into it.

Before I do anything I want to run some rounds through it and see how it operates. I have a couple of boxes of Fiocchi 73 gr FMJ's to try.

 

Well, I took the slide off and these grips have definitely been painted. Also if you look at the lower pin in the grip it has been painted over. I think I will just paint it with some Krylon fusion and go from there.

 

I just realized it is a Gen 1. The new grips would not fit anyway. I hope it runs OK.

 

Gen 1 for sure:

 

I painted it last night with Krylon Fusion Ultra Flat Olive. Looks a lot better!

I'm going to let it cure for a few days before I re assemble it. Thanks everybody for your input and the instruction on how to tear it down this far.

 

I suspect I will have to touch it up from time to time. I have read that the longer you let the fusion cure, the durable it becomes. Surface prep is also vital of course. I put traction grips on it last night. That should help. I also have a sticky holster I will use so that might help as well.

I'll be sure to let you all know how it holds up. I will finish the fluff & buff tonight and hopefully get it to the range tomorrow.

 

Well the krylon is not sticking well to the old pink paint. I am going to try soda blasting the grips to remove all paint. If this fails, does anyone know where I can get gen 1 grips?
