I like the .32 ACP round. From what I've looked at the ballistic nrg of .32 ACP from a mouse gun is similar to standard velocity .22 from a full length long rifle. If I had 8 rounds of either - I'm reasonable confident I could drop just about anyone in self defense in 2 seconds from pistol distances. Most important thing is actually hitting the target. If one carries .357, but can't shoot the thing well (I can't so I don't have one) - they are really better off with a .22 as it is more effective to hit the target. Or say a .32 ACP in one of the pocket sized pistols. I like a slightly larger pistol and have an old CZ-70 because I can shoot it well and like to practice with it, and I'm not as good with the smaller pocket size pistols. I can carry it IWB easy, and it fits into an old digital camera case very well if I don't have it on my person. I also just like the thing and think it is cool.Lol, I doubt a 8 shots to the chest, neck and face, with this stuff and you would just laugh and say "Oh my what nonsense". That said, no I would not reload 32 anyway. And yes I have bigger calibers. But there is a tool for just about everything.Or maybe should carry a full size pistol strapped next to your bathing suite.
Personally, I will take the very small 6 1/2 ounce mouse gun.
