You guys that think the 32 will out class the .380 ballistically, Id sure like to see your data..the closest real comparison is the 32 and 380 Guardian..not the new 32 NAA Guardian chambering either. Another is the Keltec 32/380..same barrel length, breech style etc.
The 380 walks away with more than 1-1/2 times the energy from the same make/model bullet and gun/barrel length.
Im not defending it...but Im not gonna sit here and listen to stuff that has not bearing either. The Magsafe ammo and that "niche" ammo may be nice but Im comparing a +P JHP from a good maker. Hell if you listen to some makers they make .380 ammo that "Will kill a bear at 100 yds and turn it into a 44 magnum" or some hooopla.
Youve got to get the little 60 gr 32 ACP round "OVER 1200 FPS" to get equivalent ballistics to the .380 shot from the same NA Guardian. NAA did it with a wildcat load that is gonna be nice little caliber with Corbons help.
Many people cant shoot 9mm's, due to laws limiting power, size etc. The USA isnt the only place in the world where they shoot guns and many other countries limit their "civilian" or legally owned chamberings to much smaller rounds.
Or health reasons like previously stated...example my CZ83 Mak and .380's I have, I could triple tap better than any gun made after shooting my 45's and 40's. Its all about recoil and its a relative to the shooter at best.
Respectfully,
Shoot well................
