Tell him he needs to read the manual.... like 3 times. Otherwise he -will- break the gun. The manual of arms on that gun is backwards compared to everything else out there. (You have to have the mag partially inserted to retract the slide, for one thing... )
It won't eat FMJ, it's too long to fit in the mag. Premium defense ammo only. It used to work with Win Silvertips but I think Seecamp is now telling people to use Gold Dots and Fed Hydras in it instead.
Tell him to use a very firm grip on it when firing. At least with mine, anything else below "painful death grip level" would cause the gun to jam.
One upshot of it is that if he gets sick of it, he'll probably get most of his money back. Seecamp only produces a limited number of the guns every year, so that keeps prices on the
used market higher than they would be otherwise.
After owning one for a year I don't think I could bring myself to ever owning one again... especially not when there are guns like the Ruger LCP out there that can be found for less money (even in MA, despite its lack of compliance) and fire the .380 instead of a .32. My LCP is also far, far, more reliable. It still requires a firm grip, but thats more to keep it from shifting around in your hand than a matter of function.
IMO the LWS32 is a gun you don't impulse buy. You really have to -want- one, and I would suggest that anyone thinking about buying one, try to test fire someone else's first before doing so. There is no middle ground on these guns. The people that have dealt with them either love them for what they are, or hate them.
