You got it ! That dang pistol is super accurate and Mine has a very worn barrel but refuses to accept it!
I'm in awe when I shoot it! ....but I do not like trying to find my brass!

Never gave much thought to the .380 or .32...very interested in the replies here.
I've probably always had too much confidence in the lowly 22 lr when i carried...had a lot of confidence in my ability to place the shot though, still do.
Now you have me interested in the .32.

If You look at the Hottest 22 Rim Fire you have It will beat all .25 acps ( ask me how I know ...we can do this whole thing again with mty 25 cal pocket pistol collection! 
)
But it all comes to penetration These little guys have to cut deep in the bad guy! If you are cutting deep what do you want ... a RN jackected or a FP soft lead

I love the history of these little guys! You are talking to a student of 17th and 18th century arms here....to make me jump centuries ahead is a thing of wonder!
I just go whole hog into the learning experience!

It always amazes me how much stock that the Germans in WWII put into the .32 acp given that the had the 9 mm luger

Yep the Savage and Remington were both designed while John M. Browning had the patent for self-loading pistols with the breech face as part of the slide. For the 17 years it lasted, he was the man.

How about a Langenhan Automatic Pistol, a Walther PPK or a Steyr?

Below is my faithful Kel-Tec 32. This is the second one set up the same way as the first one; it was put back together after shooting hot heavy bullet loads and springing the plastic frame. #1 is now used for practice, several hundred rounds per year, and carry #2 with only 20 or so rounds per year.
This is the best ammo I have found so far, 100% reliable over 10 years of shooting.

The Walther(1929) and Mauser(1915) were both after the patent expired (1897-1915). Langenhan, Steyr and many others purchased the rights to use the design from FN, who Browning had licensed his patent to for European use. Browning like to make money, which is why he only licensed Colt to use his patent in North America. He made more money from the commission from each pistol than he could make selling the rights to his design.

My son was an "Intellectual Properties" lawyer at one time. He tells me you can design and build anybody's design. You just can't sell it until the patent expires. You have a nice collection of 32's. That is a pretty high number on the Mauser, do you know what year it was made?
