Who likes shooting .32 ACP?

.32 ACP

I JUST traded my CZ70 for a KELTEC P32.

As noted the CZ had a horrible double action trigger pull and mags are hard to find here.

The P32 is a soft shooter with a decent trigger pull and is not as "snappy" or trigger slapping as my NAA .32; which is still a great gun for deeper CC.
 
I have quite a variety of small pistols (about fifty of them) in calibers from 9mm to .25 but my hands down favorites are in 7.65 (.32 ACP) . I bought a couple of thousand rounds of ammo for each caliber before the "ammo crisis" and shoot the pistols all the time. Although my carry piece is either .380 or 9mm I would have little concern that I could protect family with a .32. I would love to have Sig chamber their P-238 in .32 cal (or S&W Bodyguard) for a super smooth and easy shooting pocket pistol.
 
Actually, let me do that again with a pic...Erma Luger in .32ACP/7.65 Browning!!

I don't owe one, but I love the .32 out of a Tomcat. Great little gun and fun as hell to shoot and carry. My buddy owns one and I never pass up a chance to shoot it or carry it occasionally.
 
I hope I will like the two little 32acp's I picked up. I know I like the 32cal out of my Ruger Single Six 32H&R but just a while ago I was able to pick up a NAA 32acp & Beretta 81 32acp. I guess we will see.....:o
 
Okay, now you've done it guys. You made me pull out my only safe queen, and a few others.

At the top is my HK4. I have the 22 lr, 32 acp and 380 acp barrels. Still looking for the 25 acp barrel. Also there are my Keltec P32s, a CZ-83 and a Manhurin PP.

The CZ-83 is a range toy. What a lot of people don't realize is that there are 15 round magazines available, making it a 15+1 firearm! Recoil is negligible, and it is plenty accurate. The 3.75" barrel gets a bit more oomph from the cartridge. Mine originally came with the squared trigger guard, but I ordered the rounded one from CZ-USA, as I like that one better.
 
Hey Gazpacho. Ever shoot that HK? Must be pretty sweet. Oh. By the way. I think you have a Keltec addiction!

I have an old Beretta Model 70 with aluminum frame in .32 ACP, it's one of my favorite carry guns.
 
I am also a .32 ACP addict. I simply love these old single stack pistols. The 2 that I now shoot are my CZ 27 and Colt Model 1903. I also have a Beretta 1935 in like new condition but have not taken it to the range so far.
 
I must chime in with the 03/08 colt fans. They are accurate for a small pistol, concealable, very easy to look at. But like all colts; went up in price tremendously in the last few years.
 
This is my only 32, brought back by my father. It’s a Belgium Browning with German markings.
Sweet little shooter but has a surprising amount of flash.

I'll speak for the .32 Jimenez. I load for it soft ammo with lead and fmj. It is a fun range gun, accurate enough shooter although a bit to the left if it isn't me. I've put a few hundred of rounds through it, polished the sliding parts and have it just about where I want it. Interestingly, it is only 2 ounces less in weight than my Bersa .380, smaller but feels just as heavy in my pocket.
 
I shot the HK4 exactly once. In 32 acp.

The gun fits my hand well, and recoil in 32 is no big deal. The hammer is quite interesting, as it looks more like a sliding door.
