I don't mean to set off a firestorm of Marshall and Sanow bashers, but I happen to believe their numbers are every telling. (I have heard all the arguments to the contrary, but I just find the arguments against Marshall and Sanow more specious than Marshall and Sanow's numbers themselves.) The 32 ACP compares very favorably with 38 Special fired from a snub nose revolver when comparing One Shot Stops. Since I can fire 3 aimed shots from my NAA 32 ACP for every one 38+p from a snub nose, I feel I am better armed with the 32 ACP. I certainly respect differing opinions, but I believe that enough that I carry a 32 ACP every day. If I am going to carry something bigger than the NAA Guardian, it is going to be a large frame 357 2 1/2" or 4" barrel or a Compact 45 ACP. I know those guns are a little bigger than a compact 9mm, but in a practical sense, if I can't carry it in a pocket, I might as well carry something much more powerful than a 38 or a 9mm.

Just my $.02
