I've been thinking about how most small bore target pistols are in .22 LR and knowing how ammo sensitive .22 guns tend to be, I've been thinking that a .32 S&W Long pistol would be better.
I know that they exist, but they're mainly made by European manufacturers and cost between 1 and 2 thousand dollars.
So, my thought was why aren't more semi auto pistols chambered in .32 Long? It's just as light recoiling a cartridge as .22 and is probably even more accurate to be fired at 25 yards or less than the .22 is. Not to mention, it's reloadable and that allows for handloading development to find the most accurate load and to never have to deal with rimfire shortages again.
Does anyone here think that there's a market in the US for a US made .32 S&W Long pistol? One that can shoot both wadcutters and non-wadcutters?
