Years back, very often. In fact I had one when I think drawing it from a coat pocket prevented me from getting mugged. As so often happens as soon as the potential mugger discovered his probable victim was armed he departed the scene in a mighty quick hurry.
There may be some issues. Those made before 1922 (.32=#422000/.380=#66000) do not have a half-cock/safety notch on the face of the hammer, so if the hammer fails to hold at full-cock it will go all of the way down. About the same time an inertial firing pin system, similar to that in the Government Model .45 was incorporated. For this reason many old timer's would carry older pistols with the chamber empty and chamber a round as they drew.
Older magazines sometime crack on the back where the lips are formed. Frequent eyeball inspection is called for.
Given the age of even the latest of these pistols, it's a good idea to replace the recoil, magazine and firing pin springs if you are going to use or carry one.
That said, they are a classic pocket pistol with a reputation for reliability (the round is guided into the chamber by built-in cartridge guides, not just the magazine lips), and excellent accuracy.
Finding a good holster may be a problem. I suggest a personal message to one of our fellow members - user name : Robbt.
