32 ACP Day

I love my little Kel-Tec P32, I wish more modern handguns were chambered in 32.

I occasionally use the Kel-Tec P32 as my main carry and it is really sweet in my front pocket. That gun will NEVER print. In a pocket holster it looks just like a wallet, and is hardly bigger than a wallet. If anyone thinks carrying all the time is too much hassle, they should get the P32 and carry it.

I love mine, when I don't have my snubbie, I've got my P32. It's a nice shooter. I can keep it in the ten ring out to about 15 yards pretty easily. Kel-Tec has excellent customer service as well.

Just got the top one at a fairly decent price, H&K model 4. The bottom one is a pre-war PPK. Got it at an okay price because the grip and magazine were not original. Still, two more 32acp’s.

Why not...

I picked up a nice pocket holster from https://www.pcsholsters.com/ for my P32 that I’m looking forward to breaking in for summer carry.

^ That is an awesome setup with the mag older included!

I am a fan of 32. This is my favorite video of a 32 with a Lehigh Xtreme Cavitator bullet.

Argument for use of FMJ over JHP in .32 ACP:

All I've ever used in my .32 ACPs is FMJ, even for "defense" applications.

I started with the P32 and later picked up one of those surplus 81s, that is not only the best condition surplus firearm I've ever bought, it may be the best deal I've gotten on something not purchased at a yard sale.
Now I'm a fan of .32acp, recoil is very manageable in the p32. Someone's missing an opportunity by not making a modern double stack polymer .32acp.

 

[Targa]

Only have one .32acp but I sure do like it.

 

[ilgac]

My only .32ACP.
Armi Galesi Model 9

I know if I run across any .32 ACP that is a serviceable pistol and not outrageously priced, it will have to come home with me. But outside of Beretta Tomcat and KelTec P32, these caliber guns are few and far between.

Can we get a .22LR/.32ACP kit gun?

Slides that swap, train with the .22LR and carry the .32ACP.

I prefer the .32 over the .380 for the case use of being "more than a .22 but less than a 9MM".

I find if I want to step up from .32, that a .380 is a half measure.
.32 is a Goldilocks of a cartridge.

Is there any advantage of .380 over 9mm?

I want one!

Actually a .22, .32, 9mm, and 10mm barrel set would be more fun than the .22, .25, .32, & .380.

I love .32 ACP. Super soft shooting and amazingly accurate.

In over 35 years of handgun shooting I had never fired a 32 auto until last September when I decided to buy a 1969 Walther PPK/S in 32. Even had an old box of Federal ammo that came with it. I was expecting recoil to be similar to my PPK/S 380 but it was indeed quite mild in comparison! And the accuracy for the first 7 yard target with the old ammo was very good. Afterwards I understood what the 32 fans were raving about all these years!

I have to keep my eye out for this gun, available in .32 ACP, .380 ACP, and .45 ACP. I want the .32 and the .45!

Just saw three nice .32 ACPs at a local GS I haven't visited in a long time.
You can see images here. They are,

FN Model 1922 .32 ACP $750

Unique .32 ACP $499

Zastava M70 .32 ACP $300

I find the 1907 pistol somewhat regularly. The Savage .45 ACP is as common as a live Yeti or Sasquatch. (Yes, I do collect the Savage pistols.)

 

[Tallball]

I'll get a Savage 1907 eventually. They're just way too cool for me to not have one.

 

[Autodidactic]

I have a Beretta P3032 and a Kel-tec P32.
They are both fun to shoot, but... Damn that is a nice collection!!

I do too, a Tomcat and P32.

 

[Autodidactic]

I’ve declared this Saturday 32 ACP Day & have rounded up my small collection to take out to the range tomorrow & for some mouse gun fun.

Not shown is a Keltek P32 that will be joining a Beretta Tomcat & Cheetah, Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless, Erma 68a baby Luger, 1954 vintage Star, & 1945 Walther PP.
Along with breaking some clays with .410’s & trying out my first small batch of shotshell reloads it should be a great day & weather looks like it’s going to cooperate. Got a big tarp to hopefully make rounding up the brass a bit easier, those small ones can disappear on ya.

Very nice. I have a Tomcat and P32.
