Pocket 32's are popular but does anyone have any real-world experience in trying to stop a BG with one?
 
Yes. It was actually with a 25. It did a dandy of a job. The Bear took off like a bat out of hell when he heard it. It's not the caliber most of the time, it's the noise and the presense of the gun that scares them. I don't know of very many criminals who will look down any gun and say, "Hey, that's only a 32!" I'm sure somebody will bring up the 'drug crazed attacker' scenario. Let me tell you, not even a 357 will stop somebody sometimes.

I'd personally like to see the .32 necked down to .22 caliber with a good hollow-point in it.

God made us in his own image.
Thomas Jefferson made us free.
John Browning made us equal.

Without Browning, we might not know about the other two...
 
Personally, I hope I never find out if my Keltec P32 will stop a bad guy, but if the need arises, it'll be way better than no gun.
 
I'm with Johnwill. The P-32 (andother pocket-guns) are made for times when you cannot carry anything else. At that point, how can you qustion it's capabilities, since you don't have a choice? It's certainly better than yelling for help and not getting any.
 
I don't care what kind of fairy powder you are stuffing in your ears, 3 or 4 .32 slugs rattling around in the ole brain pan will cause you to cease and desist all hostile actions.
