What are those things?There were a lot of good things about 357 SIG
What are those things?
I agree. I am a big .32 fan (semi and revolvers) and all are steel guns.I'm a .32 addict and with all the great old .32 pistols already on the market a new polymer gun would be off my radar. A FN 1910 in .32 is on top of my wish list for now.
That's a major issue with the .32 caliber is the lack of popularity means nobody is shooting it. I've been a member of my club for 4 years now, haven't seen one .32 case of any type in all that time.I’ve got three pistols chambered for 32 ACP, Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless, Beretta Model 81 Cheetah, & an older Beretta Tomcat. My only bitch about them is trying to find the brass on the ground so I can reload ‘em.
And not a lot of .32acp firearms to choose from.
we need a new .32acp pistol. Beretta hinted at a .32 ACP Pico but we never got one.
My LCP is loaded with Underwood 380+P stuff with the Hornady XTP bullet. I've fired a few boxes of it now, with a 13 pound recoil spring installed, and it's a legit round.
I'd like a 32, but it would have to offer my what my Ruger does, in a smaller package.
First off, that's not a tank top.
However, that's great, if you plan to stand in one position all day long and not participate in any summer time activities. With a Seecamp or a Tomcat --or even a smaller mouse gun in .25acp-- in a pocket holster i can wear a wife-beater tank top or even no shirt at all.
I can also play badminton, family volley ball, ping pong, pickle ball etc.
Can you do any of those things with a IWB Glock 19 without printing or fully exposing your side arm?
When I am forced to carry .32 Auto (a KT P32 when I can't carry a real gun), ...
No man, and few of beast, wants to be filled with an entire clip of 7,65mm x 17 Brownings.
I can see advantages to .32. Smaller package, larger capacity, reduced recoil, and if needed indoors or in a crowded area, the round is subsonic and not at all likely to overpenetrate. ....
I think we just validated JCooperfan1911's post. Test of real gun, nobody wants to be shot by it:
You learned me a new word. And there are half a dozen stories on how that name came about:

And to think, I just bought a pack of those wife-beaters.
But to the topic. I recently acquired a Seacamp LWS 32, so recent I have not visited the range with it yet but hope to soon. I might be interested in another 32 ACP and the Tomcat is high on my list. The nice thing about these little guns is you are far more likely to carry it than a big gun and it is much easier to carry.
Of my 5 handguns, two are 32s, the other being a 32 S&W Long Revolver.
Stay away from the Tomcat, it belongs in the litterbox of history.
Don't buy a Tomcat.
They have issues just running then they crack. They can break in multiple ways. I had one. Broke. Beretta replaced it. Sold it NIB.
See the Beretta forums for details.
.25 Bobcats are good, .25 Jetfires are good. .22 LR Bobcats and .22 Short Jetfires are fairly reliable at best don't bet your life on them working.
Cheetahs, Jaguars are great in all forms.

Thanks, I keep hearing that warning about the Tomcat 32 but thought they strengthend it and later models should be okay. My local GS has two of the tip-up barrel 22s and a 25 ACP version. They also have the rather boring KelTec P32 (priced $250 used). A 1903 would be nice. I just have to be patient and somethign will come around.
