Paul Harrel is always spot on. Like anything though with guns, shoot whatcha got or whatcha like. I'm a 45acp enthusiast but I like one offs and odd things. When the right 32acp finds me, I'll buy it.This just came out..

I'm going to get some and run it through my Tomcat and see how it does.
Fiocchi makes some nice 73-grain FMJ loads that beat the hell out of the "watered-down" American loads.
I've found my vz61 carbine runs much better with the European stuff. I'm pretty sure Fiocchi was one; they certainly make good ammo. In recent memory, I've been running the German Geco 7.65x17mm ammo, because it runs pretty much flawlessly in said little carbine.
...but it has a delivery like a brick through a plate glass window!I don't think I've ever heard ".32ACP" and "defense round" used in the same sentence before...

What more do you want?! ( )
I didn't know that you were basing your opinion of a firearm's effectiveness on a fictitious statement 55-year-old motion picture. We all know that about 156 foot-pounds of energy (a 71-grain bullet leaving the pistol's muzzle at a maximum of 1000 feet per second). I had the printed data to back that claim, but it has since disappeared.
A Lehigh bullet loaded to these levels will disrupt flesh and anything that gets in the way. This has a relatively low recoil that allows the pistol's muzzle to remain on target. I can whip out a little "mouse gun" loaded with this and empty all seven rounds into a 3 1/2" circle in 21 feet. You would be surprised how quickly someones face will contort and change in horror and pain when a volley of these fly into their chest or head.
Shot placement is king, penetration is queen. Everything else is angels dancing on the heads of pins.
Captain O, smoke a doobie and mellow out. It was a joke.
If the OP is still paying attention, both Federal and Magtech offer a JHP load for the .32 acp.
Federal is a 65 gr. Hydra-Shok. The Magtech is a 71 grainer.
If nothing else, the bullet should increase the round's effectiveness.
