Underwood's .32 +p has 110 less ft/lbs and 15 less grain weight than their standard pressure .380 round. Not to mention 200 FPS slower. That's a strange argument to try and have. And ok, I'll keep my .380 and its FAR superior ballistics. No problem.
The Newtonian laws of physics, being what they are, requires that there is at least 100% more recoil in the .380 Auto than in the .32 Auto. Therefore it is a logical conclusion that there will be a great deal more recoil in the same size of frame than there is in the .32 Auto. This is an irrefutable fact; 14 inches of penetration in 10% ordnance gelatin is more than adequate to accomplish the task at hand.
I can empty a .32 Auto as "quick as a wink". The "Mozambique Drill" can be accomplished twice within the capacity of a single magazine in my steel-frame .32 Auto before requiring a reload.
Think about it.
