We all know that service calibers (i.e., 9mm, 38/357, .40, .45 and so on) are better manstoppers than the weaker, "inferior" calibers (i.e., .32 .380, 9x18 etc). But sometimes, the heart just doesn't listen to the head. You like that Walther pp in 7.65 Browning (aka .32 ACP) just because you like it. You shoot it well. It feels good in your hand. It's cool. It's fun.
When I was younger, I carried a 3" S&W j-frame in .32 Long. Honestly, I just didn't know any better, but it was accurate and I liked it. Up until recently, I carried a SIG p232. I loved that gun b/c it was like someone tailored it for my hand. I still miss my Bulgarian Circle 10 Markarov. Someday, when I get more time to shoot and can justify the "fun money", I plan on getting replacements of each.
What about you? do you have a favorite "inferior caliber" handgun? Tell us about it and why you love it. Pics are welcome.
