Cor Bon 32 ACP

[JMusic]

Any one try the Cor Bon 32 cal acp ammo? The ballistics seem to be considerably higher than other brands.

Worked great in my 32. If I get another 32 will again be my carry round. It does have a little snap to it.

I had an early production Tomcat that I tried it in, it split the slide. Beretta was kind enough to replace the gun, no questions asked. AFAIK, it is within SAAMI specs, , and it was 'snappy'!

Corbon .32ACP?

Cor-Bon does well out of a P-32, (2.8" bbl) and it is what I use in my Zastava Model 70, which has a 3.5" bbl.

Admittedly, the Z is about as heavy as my Mak, so I don't carry it as often as the Mak has the beefier 9x18 Mak round.

We confirmed the advertised velocity -actually a few fps higher which is normal with corbon products. A friend has carried it in the seacamp quite a bit and has used it to shoot soft shelled turtles caught while fishing. Kills the turtle but does't go all the way through a big one. Lately, we have had problems with the bullets telescoping back in to the case when it feeds into the chamber. This could signal the need for a tune up of the pistol but we kind of wish they would canulure the bullet or taper crimp it a bit more .

The shoved back bullets have gone over the chronograph in the mid- 1100 fps range

Thanks Mec, have you tried adjusting the magazine? From what I've read it seems like the ammo to carry in a 32.

I agree- it does 200 fps over the competition. If the gun was mine, I'd get me a set of .32 dies and taper crimp them myself. I'm not sure what is with the guy's seecamp- or the other guy's who bought one at the same time but I suspect that they are not as smooth as they could be because, like a lot of seecamp owners, they shoot them once or twice per year and seldom oil them in between.

I finally got one of them to lubricate his pistol before taking it out to shoot and it worked a good bit better.

I carry Cor Bon in my Kel Tec 32 and 380.
