Couple questions about this round....
First, is felt recoil generally less than, say, 9 Luger? I know that sounds stupid on the surface, but I want to know because 32 ACP is generally only in simple blowback weapons and felt recoil is going to be a lot higher than it could be.
Second, does anyone know of a readily available locked breech 32, or are they all vest pocket pistols these days designed to be shot once or twice in a panic, and are thus not comfortable to shoot?
I'd really like to get a fun shooter which I could offer to women who come with me to the range and isn't a 22. I got to shoot a PPK in 380 last week, and it was not fun, and I don't know how a similarly sized 32 would compare. Nobody rents 32's around here, so I'm looking for input before potentially buying one.
Thanks in advance.
