I have a thing for old .32 pocket pistols. You might even say that I collect them. I recently traded a Browning BDA .380 for beautiful, Nazi-marked 7.65 mm CZ-27. I had never fired one of these before, but I did today and I was pleasantly surprised.
It was .32 day for us at the range today. My son and I took six .32 ACP pistols for an extended target practice run. The lineup consisted of a:
We went through two boxes each of WWB, S&B, and Reminton UMC. The WWB was some stuff I was using up. I bought about a half dozen boxes of it at Wally World and I'm not happy with it. It is under powered for use in a blowback action pistol. We had many FTF(eed) with the WWB. It just didn't have enough sack to cycle the action (more so with my 12 year-old son, although he got better when I showed him how to stiff-arm his grip to help the recoil happen).
.32 Pocket Pistols are not known for their accuracy. They are also not helped much by the sights that are on these guns. The CZ was an exception.
This was our first time shooting the CZ-27, and it easily unseated the Reminton 51 as my most accurate .32 pocket pistol. My best group was a little under 1-1/2" at about 15 yards. My son did even better (he's not a coffee drinker) if you discount a single called flyer.
The little CZ was pretty impressive. I'd be interested to read about anybody's experience with this pistol.
