I have an SBR Scorpion; no happy switch, but even the wire stock makes it much more 'shootable'. I did homebrew an aperture sight for mine, and it is a ball to shoot.You need a VZ61, a legal one.
The VZ61 takes all the bad things associated with 32ACP and makes it kick but.
Snagged one of these at a gunshow, and yes, it is an absolute sweetheart.the last one is the Sig Sauer reportedly an over run of an order to police in Japan.
That spacer was to prevent rim lock when using the prescribed SilverTips. Never realized that the spacer was removable.Maybe was limpwristing it, but the final good run was with FMJ and the magazine spacer removed.
Spacer is a L shape with the long part up the back of the magazine and the short part under the base plate with a notch in it to lock the base plate on. I just cut some sheet metal a little shorter than the base of the L so the edge would lock in, a crude fabrication, but it worked. For the range, to try it out, just remove the spacer. Your hand extending down off the tiny grip will keep the base plate in. For self defense I would put the Seacamp in its box and take my Kel Tec P-32.That spacer was to prevent rim lock when using the prescribed SilverTips. Never realized that the spacer was removable.
It seems to me I owned one of these little buggers once. Beautifully made, heavy for caliber, snappy to shoot, not especially reliable.

You are a prudent man.For self defense I would put the Seacamp in its box and take my Kel Tec P-32.
I've been a big 32 ACP fan since my first 1903 Colt. Branched out to include the H&R Self-Loading, each of the Savage variations and way too many more. This is a dangerous rabbit hole to fall into. The ugliest is the Warner Infallible, not sure why I bought it.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.
Is that a Warner Infallible bottom left?I pulled some out of the safe today for a group shot.View attachment 1130934
I want one of those so bad. Prices are too high for me..I found the picture of my Beretta Model 100. I need to take this one to the range again soon!

Very nice. I just picked mine up a couple weeks ago. It is also dated 1944 on the side. I had it to the range and with FMJ achieved a 4" group on 9 rounds at 5 yards. Super easy to field strip.I have a few .32 Autos. Most recent acquisition is a Beretta Model 1935, dated 1944 on the slide.
The exterior finish is a bit rough but I expect that it'll run like a top.

Is yours dated on the slide? I am wondering if that 1944 on mine and Markowintz' pistols is the actual manufacture date or perhaps a version date. Looking on Wikipedia they have ranges of serial numbers for production and if production was level (probably not) mine would be about 1940, so maybe it is 1944. But it seems unusual that they would stamp the production year on the slide, changing it every year.They kept making and selling that model until the late 1960s. Mine was made in 1955.

On the frame. And on guns meant for import to the US in Arabic numerals. European ones will have Roman Numerals dating from the fall of the Fascist regime (1944). The second image is my New Puma, the successor to the 1935 and was made in 1967 (XXIII). Guns made during the Fascist regime will have Roman Numerals on the slide showing the year of the regime (Post 1922).Is yours dated on the slide?

Excellent choice!My holy grail gun is the Beretta Roma mod. 90.
