just picked it up this afternoon.  i shot 4 mags thru it - 28 rnds.  it failed to feed once and failed to strip a round off the mag once, both in the first mag.  next 3 mags went bang all 7 times each.  the only firearm i have fired that never failed on the first mag was my AR.  i figure its breaking in.  any suggestions on carry ammo?  all i purchased initially ws cheap FMJ stuff.

I had a few failures with my P32 in the first hundred rounds, but it has worked very well since then.

I tried CorBon ammo, but I really had a lot of failures with it....mostly because of the short overall length of the round, I think. Under recoil, the rim of the second round in the magazine would move forward under the rim of the top round and cause a FTF. I finally went to Hornady 60gr. XTP hollowpoints. They aren't as hot as the CorBons, but they work much better in my gun. I heard that Speer now has a Gold Dot in .32 ACP, but I haven't seen any yet. That might be a good round to try....

I've been using Hydra-shok and Gold Dot. Both have performed perfect. Good luck with the new .32. Mine has been perfect.
