I just bought a CZ 70 over at Aim Surplus, and am anxious to see how this little PPK copy, will function, even though 32 ACP is anemic, I've been looking at the 75 Grain, hard cast, Buffalo Bore loads, that claim 220+ft.lbs. Such would be serviceable defensive loads. To be honest if I didn't think these particular handguns were a good deal I wouldn't have purchased them, while a feel like the 32 is a minimalist defensive round, I didn't go out of my way really to obtain a 32, a good deal IMHO presented itself, and happened to be a 32.
