Thanks for the test.

Typical .32ACP performance.  Very accurate with great shot group size, expansion causes unacceptable penetration result.
As ever with this cartridge, ball is the answer if you must carry a .32, as it at least will penetrate to acceptable levels.  I admit I am a fan of the old 7.65 Browning (32ACP), as in the smaller, blowback pistols it is typically chambered in it is very pleasant to shoot, without the "rappy", unpleasant recoil of the .380 in similar sized weapons.  Would I carry it?  Only if that is all I had, which thankfully is not the case.

Still, because of it's accuracy, and ability to very quickly put those small rounds on target, it's far better than a sharp stick, fists, clubs, .22s or .25s.

This. Obviously hollow points are underpenetrating.

I would like a Glock 42 in 32ACP. Not sure why. But loaded only with FMJ.

S&B makes the hottest .32 that I’ve tried. I wouldn’t hesitate to grab my Skorpion with a mag full of it

I second the S&B stuff for the 32acp. Unfortunately i only have two boxes of it. Really pissed i missed out on the cases of the geco stuff a bit back. Still need to figure out the issues with my CZ70 first.
