The P32 is the gun you carry when you can't have a larger pistol.
That's the thing. Probably the bad thing. Even though you "can", that's a pretty lame thing to train/crow about, since you'll be out of ammo in one second. Good hits are what counts, no matter what you are fielding.What I enjoy about the .32 ACP is it's "controllability". I can empty..
So......you have experiance with this? In my experiance one good 22 LR 5.56 or 45 will do the same. We still use 22LR in slaughter houses.The 7.65 x 17 was a favorite of John Moses Browning because it was accurate. It may not be a "powerhouse" but bullet placement goes a long way in a short time. Trust me, three hot Underwood Defender loads in an aggressor's forehead or face will stop someone right now!
Brownings favorite was any thing he could sell......he was a great designer but the only thing he didn't sell was the superposed design that wasn't finished before his death.The 7.65 x 17 was a favorite of John Moses Browning because it was accurate.

The .380 is what it is. Call it "emasculated" if you're trying to compensate for something, perhaps. Who knows?.The .380 is simply a 9mm that's been emasculated..
This is why the .88 Magnum was developed. Schools/ed!A friend of mine is an attorney that used to work with the Albuquerque, New Mexico Coroner and studied a large number of gunshot wounds. One particular shooting that he told of was the Gangster that shot the driver of a large American Sedan from the back seat with a cheap, striker-fired .380 ACP. The driver was shot at less than two feet in the back of the head. While the shot fired was a fatal wound, the officer from the Medical Examiner's office tilted the victim's head forward and a perfectly reloadable FMJ bullet rolled out of his mouth!
Not too powerful, was it?

We can carry anything we want any place concealed or open in Idaho.....My "pocket" gun is a 45 LC American derringer loaded with hot hollow points. I usually have a 1911 45 Colt Commander handy or my 629 4". I have some great 32's, 380's, 40's, and 9mm's as well as 357's and whatever I want. None are smaller and simpler than one of my American's (I also have one in 45ACP). If Captain O's logic holds up, my double stack 45 LC is worth 6 32's. The idea of an extended fire fight requiring high capacity firearms is silly. Self defense is rarely more than one thug with a knife up close. My 1000 FPS 225 grain 45 LC hollow point rounds will be up to the challenge.
It did the job no?
I'd bet if it was Underwood ammo the victim wouldn't have been spitting out lead like a popcorn popper.
