Got one!
I have a Taurus 731 UL, and I know of some others here on The High Road that have confessed to carrying pocket rockets in .32 H&R in the past.
If you are a believer in Energy, than the .32 H&R Magnum has more energy than most .380 loads you will find out there. So, if you are someone who feels that the .380 is an okay cartridge for self-defense(which I do) than you shouldn't feel bad about getting the .32 Magnum.
Things you should look out for:
Ammo is tough to find. Around me, only Federal is the only factory load I can find(except for some Cowboy loads). When you do find it, it's EXPENSIVE. Like, $8.00 for a box of 20 Federal Classic H.P.'s
Once I get the time and settled into my house some more, than I plan to order some from Georgia Arms. Their .32 load is regarded in these parts as the best around. Very toasty.
My only problem is, energy aside, looking at the muzzle...that is a small bullet.
In my gun, instead of carrying Federals 85gr Hollow Point, I carry the 95gr SWC, going for penetration over expansion.
