Whats your favorite C&R 32acp/7.65mm?

[Winchester_73]

Just wondering what everyones favorites are. I purchased 1000 rds of 32 acp from ammo man for $219 shipped and I'm thinking of getting at least one more 32 acp.

Correction - the FN 1903 was not chambered for the 32 acp, it was chambered for the browning 9 x 20 mm SR browning long. So lets hope no one votes for it. Thanks.

Favorite how? As a practical carry gun? As an interesting design? As best in fit and finish? As most original design? As most/least complex?

The Frommer Stop is a really interesting design, but I doubt I would carry one if a Walther PP or a Colt Pocket Model Hammerless was available. The Savage 1907, Remington 51, S&W 1924* and Davis-Warner are good examples of working around Browning patents, but at the cost of complexity.

*The 1913 is outside the criteria, being a .35 caliber.

The favorite overall. Basically the best blend of features which puts the firearm in someones high esteem. Most of these are similiar but each has its own distinctions as well.

Its meant to be about the C&R 32 acps (50 yrs old) to help narrow it down. Otherwise the choices would be very long. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry it was a joke.

I don't see the Pre-war Walther PPK.
That's mine.

it was a joke

Indeed. It made me laugh.

I did think it was ironic that a member "com n cents" would overlook something so obvious. Lol, funny guy.

I was going to post a pic.

From your list, I only have the Savage 1907. Please send one or, preferably, two samples of the others and then I will be able to respond to your question!

 

[James K]

I have examples of all of those and some more, but I really don't know which one I would call a favorite. I think the Colt Pocket Hammerless would be at or near the top of the list.

Oops, error. My Remington Model 51 is .380, so it doesn't count.

Funny that you include the FN 1900 and the FN 1903 but leave off the most famous of them all the FN 1910.

.32

And you left out the ever popular Dreyse 1907. My vote was for the Colts but close behind would be the Savage.

I love posts like this (with surveys), because no matter how extensive you go somehow a dozen guys will pop out of the woodwork with the correct answer you managed to leave out.

And then you get to have a vote that looks something like 2-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-0

Hrmmm, never was especially fond of .32 but I'd have to say the CZ (for a C&R type gun)

 

[Ricklin]

Colt

I'm pretty fond of my 03 hammerless, you can just see the 1911 .45 in it. It's a nice thin, dare I say elegant little pistol.

FN 1922. Very accurate and reliable
