I have a 1903 Colt and a Walther PP they are my two favorites. My Seecamp was made like a swiss watch. I also had a Beretta Tomcat that was nice to carry and easy to shoot they have a frame cracking issue though.
There are many other well made 32s out there I know my CZ82 is a great gun and although I've never even seen a 83 in 32acp, they did make them and I can't imagine it wouldn't be a great gun.

LGS had those on closeout sale few years ago. The magazine held 14 or 15 cartridges. I would not touch one with a flagpole. It's worse then 9mm Browning.

Best .32 Auto

Tough one. Colt 1903, but I prefer & own the 1908 Model since it is a .380. Seecamp is excellent, but not readily available. CZ-83 , but I prefer & own the CZ-82 since it is in 9X18 mm. I liked my Kel-Tec P32, until I learned of it's frequent operating failures. The comment re: TT-33 was excellent & well noted. My personal favorite is the WWII Mauser HSc (.32 or .380). The HSc Gamba stinks!
 
Beretta 3032
Beretta 81 ... very nice!
Beretta 70
Walther

my favorite .32's so far was the Beretta 3032 Tomcat. Never a glitch with mine and carried for years! The 81 nicer, but not a pocket pistol... so for intent I said my 3032...

I never shot a 1903 Colt... so I do not an opinion on it except... popular here! :D

Did'nt they make the Colt 1910? (vest pocket pistol) in .32? I had one of those in .25 years ago for a brief moment
 
OK,OK, the 1903 Colt !!!! But the 1908 Model is a .380 based on the 1903, just a different caliber. You can switch the mags and barrels.

It's a personal choice. I just prefer shooting the 1903, in .32.

.32 is just an accurate, low recoiling round. I don't carry them.....but I enjoy shooting them.
 
I don't have anything to compare it too but I like my FEG AP 765. I've only had it for about 10 days but it shot a box of ammo without any failures and grouped well. It also has a nice heft to it and has a large enough grip to actually hang onto it. As you can see from the picture it is a little bit larger than a Walther PPK. The double action trigger is VERY stiff but single action is OK. Wolf has a spring kit to reduce the trigger pull. I got mine for $200 from JGsales.com

No.1 on the list would be my Dads 1902 Colts that he left to me. No.2 would be a Kel -Tec, P-32. No.3 a pair Beretta Tomcats. These guns have a served me well & are great shooters. I have also had 3 of the Tomcats &have seen no problems with the frame.

Yeah you've got to love that single action trigger on the AP7. I really like mine too and it has worked flawlessly. It is very accurate too.

Only problem I've had is once when I took the grips off and cleaned under them, one of the free floating pins fell out into the grips as I was putting them back on and the gun locked up next time at the range. Can't blame the gun for my failure to make sure all of the parts stayed secure as I put the grips back on.
 
I could repeat everything JSH1 said, word for word. I missed out on AIM's very good to excellent CZ70s dithering with a new FFL dealer, so I decided to let J&G's FEG AP 7.65 be my first entry into .32 ACP world.

Aside from black paint peeling from the aluminum frame, and indents showing someone literally used the heel of the gun as a hammer, it's in pretty good shape. I took it out for the first time yesterday and had no issues with a box of Prvi Partisan FMJ ($140/600 at Widener's, smoking deal), aside from one of the two mags not accepting an eighth round. It's accurate for a small, fixed sight pistol, and tame compared to it's 9x18mm FEG Pa-63 and BR-61 cousins I own. My kids are going to love shooting this pistol.
