I have a Sagem Modele 1935S pistol that I really enjoy shooting EXCEPT for the fact that ammo is so expensive to buy. But, when I bought a box from a dealer at a show about three months ago he actually gave me a great idea and I just need a bit more info.
It seems that the 7.65 (or .32) French Long cartridge is somewheres between a .32ACP and a .32S&W. The reason I say this is because .32ACP rounds are visibly shorter and this dealer apparently just used a case trimmer to shorten some .32S&W shells since *all* of the 20 he sold me were stamped as such.
So, now I just need to buy a bunch of .32S&W brass to cut, which I think I may be able to track down. The problem is I don't know what the dimensions of the .32French case are and I don't know what kind of load I should put in it since it's an older pistol and not a PPW/CCW as of right now. I am assuming that it will use a .32ACP bullet since someone to me a while back that there's a way to fire .32ACP through the gun single-fire.
Any suggestions?
ps: Feel free to post any and all jokes you may have about French armament, I still think it's a neat Browning-influenced design, and I laugh at those jokes too!
