Yeah, they're mainly bought as collectables that you can actually take out and shoot. Ballistic bobbles, as they say.
But it's funny, because .32 caliber handguns in that power range were, not all that long ago, considered standard police guns throughout Europe, and not much longer ago they were considered that in the US, too. In Europe, it was the .32 ACP, and in the US the .32 S&W Long.
