Just cause I've been thinking about this today, what are the current production semi-autos chambered in 32 acp (aka 32 auto)?
I can think of the following, buy can anyone add to the list?

Seecamp 32
Berreta Tomcat
NAA Guardian 32
Keltec P32
 
Cobra chambers their Standard Derringer in .32 Auto
Cobra FS-32
Jimenez JA-32 (this is not a recommendation)
Walther PPK
Walther PPK/S

Not much of a choice. Some of these may be extinct.
 
Seecamp 32 I think Larry sold out . not sure I want one at present also expensive

Berreta Tomcat Big ,heavy, Factory says no hot loads still some frame cracking

NAA Guardian 32 Copy of Seecamp heavy and recoil snappy for little pistol


Keltec P32 smallest , lightest, cheapest , soft recoil , shoot any 32 mild,hot or hotter and ask for more 4 in my house and not 1 has had any problem
Gen 2 way better than the older ones No fluff and buff needed I yet to see why these pistols get a bad rap other than gun snobs attitude.
 
The Colt 1903 General Officer's Model in .32 ACP. A beautiful reissue, parkerized with original markings. If you hold one, you'll want it. But, get your wallet out :D

It's unclear whether these are technically in production at the moment.

Production has been in limbo for months due to the S&W/Walther divorce. Walther Arms is in the process of setting up a production line in Ft. Smith, AR, but they have not announced when deliveries will start; the latest rumors on the Walther Forums state that production will be underway by mid-2016.
 
Re: Seecamp. Yeah, Larry sold the company; but he seems to be shepherding the new owner. And from my time on the Seecamp forum, owners (like me) don't seem to be griping about any changes to the original. The new owner seems deeply invested in customer satisfaction, even inviting phone calls when forum posts ask for advice. He has made some improvements to the .380 magazines and is accepting pre-orders for the .25 he plans to revive.

We now return you to our regular .32 auto discussion:
 
Taurus makes the PT132 Millenium Pro 32acp
Bersa makes a Thunder in 32acp

I recently read on the internet that the Kel-Tec P32 is only good for 500 rounds, so I wouldn't even consider one of those. Who would buy a pistol that is worn out after 500 rounds...?

I wonder who it was that posted that?

Oh... I remember now... It was you.

The keltec p32s are VERY light but only have about 500 rounds of life in them.

that is cool Taurus makes the PT in .32, was sad to see it didn't share the same features that make the PT111 desirable, like sa/da "striker" and high capacity not to mention they aren't exactly cheap. nonetheless, looks like a comfortable pistol and I would probably take it over the Kel-Tec(personal preference).

I've heard that small batches tend to unexpectedly show up from time to time despite not being cataloged (kinda like some Berettas).

That said, I've never personally seen one – just been told of their existence.
 
Weblance and Bill de Shivs, I already recanted on that 'p32 has a life of 500 rounds' comment. I apparently had an atypically bad experience. No need to drive by attack this separate thread where no one is bagging on the p32. Keep it classy.
 
Reading this post I realized just how scarce new pistols in .32 have become. I have over a dozen in that caliber, Pre-war PPK, Star mod. S, Llama, Savage, Walther PP, Colt 1903 etc. All of mine are shot regularly, love the cartridge and keep 1000 rounds on the shelf at all times. Alas, nothing of current manufacture.

You are correct, and I apologize. I did however, give 2 examples of 32acp pistols that hadn't been mentioned, so not a complete drive-by.
 
I know the original question was for Semi-Auto in 32acp, but I will just throw out the fact that my Taurus 327 Federal Magnum chambered revolver, also fires 32acp. The first time I fired 32acp from it, I thought I had a squib, because the 32acp is so lightly charged. Its common for revolvers chambered in 32 H&R Magnum, and 327 Federal Magnum to be able to fire 32acp.

UNATTAINABLE....Forget about finding new mags for this pistol. Blem pistols pop up every now and then, never seen any new mags.
