Guns.com article on the .32 ACP

Another short easy read, this time on the .32 ACP

Timely for me as I just picked up a Beretta Tomcat from that crazy EuroOptic sale. Cool little gun.

I have 5 .32 ACP pistols: Walther PP, Beretta Tomcat, Seecamp, Zastava 70 and Ortigies. All fun to shoot and ammo isn?t exorbitant when bough in bulk. My affection extends to .32 revolvers and have 2: Ruger LCP And a century-old S&W that is a little jewel. I have Seecamp on my CCW.

My wife loves her post war, French made, Walther pp 7.65mm. Originally a German police purchase, bought in like new condition a few yrs ago.

I love to shoot my 7 .32acp and 2 .32swl pistols. I have an Ortgies, Walther model 4, Fritz Mann, FN1910, FN 1920, Dreyse, Colt Police Positive, S&W hand ejector, and a Langerhan.

I have the Seecamp. Ha Ha, mine's smaller than yours... wait a minute










But the Seecamp is harder to retract (because it's so small you can't easily get enough fingers on the slide). Recoil is stronger a lot.

Haha!!

I have a Seecamp in .25 ACP. Talk about a pipsqueak combo, haha!!

Cool pistols though. Very well made.

Last 32 ACP I bought. Great finish and fun to shoot.

I’ve got a long barrel Spanish Izarra made during WWI for the French military. I’ve got the bring back papers as well.

Wow! That pistol is cool. I love the picture in the grip bring- backs. Here is my 1907 Dreyse with the GI's name and units on the grips. He chromed it too, a common GI thing with captured pistols. I have a chromed luger as well.[ATTACH]1531778207101.jpg

Nice. The period magazines and box really add to the package.

I just picked up a Tomcat. Really fun pistol to shoot, there is a $150 rebate going on through Beretta right now, PSA has been clearing out their Tomcats for $400.

I used to have quite a collection if .32s. I got out of most of them, I kept the Colt 1903, that one seems to just be the best of the lot when it comes to design and shootability.

[Spyder]

Frommer Stop is the only 32 I've got, and I only have about 14 rounds left for it. Half tempted to shoot it up and sell the thing so I don't have to buy more ammo!

[Tere_Hanges]

They are fun to shoot, wish the ammo was more affordable, glad I stocked up a few years before the scamdemic/bidenflation. But still don't have enough to make me want to shoot it very often.
