DrB Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Ordered 500 rounds this morning @22.95/50. Found a place cheaper but they wanted an adult signature and I always miss the Fedex/Ups guys. Would have to take time off work and wait. Norma 73g. FMJ. Want to fire the Mauser HSc Dad brought back from the war. Was going to order some last September but surgery put that on hold. Got an in stock email this morning so ordered some up. Kinda skeered to shoot this as I've heard the .32 hits harder than a brick through a plate glass window.....

Valmet Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I’ve always heard that European mfg 32ACP has slightly more pressure than US mfg’d 32. Unsure how true as I don’t own a 32 and haven’t chrono’d it but a friend who carries a 32 likes the Fiocchi FMJ stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that also but don't know if it is fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Always thought .32 ACP was an interesting round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockett Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Always wanted a pistol in .32 ACP. Got 2 revolvers that can shoot .32 everything (ACP, short, long, H&R Magnum and .327 Federal Magnum). Got the tools and supplies, but no pistol in .32 ACP. A Walther PPK in stainless is in order!

Dad brought it back from the war, never has been shot since then. It's not going anywhere soon except back in the safe. I do need to shoot it though. I want to see how it does. Curiosity and all..
