Thank You, Old Fuff.
I only developed the really hot loads as SD/carry rounds for my personal .32 ACP and to prove (to myself) that the .32 ACP is not/does not have to be an impotent round. It is not a powerhouse even in a hot hand load but is only outperformed by a 9mm round that has much more recoil.
I do not shoot them regularly as I would not want to risk my Colts.
There are several locked breech guns I'd like to use for expanded testing but most of them have shorter barrels than my control guns. Basically I have what I need to feel comfortable using this combination for SD in a BUG role - my Soul Mate carry guns will be 9mm as I feel I have mastered them to a sufficient degree that I can both conceal them and get one multiple handed hits while moving laterally to cover at 21'. My Wife and smaller, more recoil sensitive folks, will never pull that off with a 9mm and I think a .32 even with premium .32 SD ammunition is a good choice.
Sadly there doesn't seem to be any pistols like the Glock 42 being developed for .32 ACP but we can always hope.
