i would choose a .32 acp with 71 gr fmj over a .22lr in any bullet any day , i would even choose the .32 acp over the .22WMR i think the .32 acp is a better manstopper and penetrates deeper then either caliber at close range.
However, if i had a choice between a p32 and a ruger mkII 22 to grab for SD...id grab the ruger. 22s can be pretty impressive given a bit if barrel length to work with...aside from having 10 shots in the ruger.
There are a plethora of .32acp's with 3.5"-4.5" barrels; Colt 1908, Beretta, Bersa, Walther, Star, etc. Smith & Wesson even built a Model 952 target pistol for the .32acp. It has been used as a police and military sidearm cartridge in many countries since it's introduction in 1899. Loads of guns larger than pocket pistols were, and still are, made for the cartridge.I would hazard a guess that there aren't a lot of .32 ACP pistols with 4 inch barrels.
NAA has "hyper-velocity" .22 specs for their gun's also. Although the Aquila Supermax isn't among the ones they tested (a fun round though). Steve's Pages has loads of good .22 and .32 tests using various barrel lengths. KTOG has good links for Kel-Tec size pistols. There are many many websites with test info on .22LR, .22Mag, and .32 to make some basic comparisons. Google is your friend.anyone have ballistics on Cci stingers... Velocitors....
