Some of the recommended list are fine for a collection, but not for any serious purposes. (Note I did not say, as some do, that no .32 is any good for defense.)
But two makes stand our as especially questionable - the several Mauser pistols and the Ortgies. The Mausers all have a peculiar and unique loading system which is meant to speed reloading but which can create delay and mishandling if one does not practice with it (preferably to the exclusion of other makes). The Ortgies also has serious flaws, the worst being a tendency to break firing pins (nose and "feet"). While the firing pin has two "feet", only one is operative and they have been known to break while under tension, releasing the firing pin on a loaded round, startling anyone in the vicinity, to say the least.
