When I got my 32, all they had left was the 32C where I got my pistol (when my PD switched to the 31, everyone bought up the 32's real quick). I rolled the dice, and have been very happy with my 32C. You will hear many people decry the comped pistol, but I have no problem with it. It doesn't blow your eyeballs out or catch your face on fire when you shoot in gun retention/close quarters positions. The comps make little to no difference in the flash at night (you still have some blindness from the flash, but it's just in a v-shape instead of a ball). The day I got my 32C I shot the highest score I'd ever shot on our PD's timed qual course (which is a 50 shot course from 1 to 50 yards, includes close combat unsighted shooting, mag changes, strong and weak hand, barricaded, etc). I have had the pistol for about 1 1/2 yrs, and not a hint of a problem.
The 32c is well worth the extra few bucks. I have shot it next to many 32's, and the muzzle flip is significantly less. They are good, reliable, accurate pistols.
Good luck.
