I found a box in my stash that a widow gave me with some other stuff and would like to gift it to someone that could use it. I think it is a 50 round box with 3 or 4 bullets missing. Federal 71 grain on the faded box.

Mighty kind of you. I'm sure someone will appreciate that ammo.

I have one .32 autoloader, a Walther PP, 1940 vintage, that was a GI bring-back - an uncle of mine. Fun to shoot, and I do so about once every five years it seems. The three full boxes of factory ammo I have on the shelf will last me a long time at that rate.

It diminishes my male ego greatly, to admit this, but my carry gun is a Savage 1907 in .32. Yes, men I know the Desert Eagle .50 AE is a better choice, but it won't fit in the top of my Justin's.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I had a WWII era 32 Semi-auto. But I was in college and I was broke. If you are selling that, I might be interested in buying.


I prefer classic.

Yep, Savage, Beretta, CZ. Very easy to shoot well.

MANY years ago, I had an old Colt .32 ACP "Hammerless, Smokeless" Was pre-WWI vintage, but a fine carrying and shooting pistol. Problem was, it was a .32 ACP. Better than a .25 I guess, but just not enough "umph" to it. They also made those in .380 ACP, but I've never seen one in person. That style pistol in .380 ACP would be a nice "pocket" carry gun. I am told they were very popular way back when, both versions. Someone stole it back in the mid-1970s.

If I remember correctly, Bad Bad Leroy Brown, from the south side of Chicago also carried a .32 gun.

In his pocket full of fun.

and a razor, in his shoe.

Ha! Thank you. I think about that song every time somebody brings up the .32!

I've had a Beretta 3032 (Tomcat' INOX, 32 acp) for many years.

It's one of the last pistols I would part with.

Granddad brought a CZ 27 .32 acp home from World War II and is passed down to me. I shot it enough to handle it well, but don't carry it.

I have a nice little Beretta 1935. I’ve not shot it a lot but a friend just gave me several boxes of factory ammo he found when cleaning out his parents house. I think I’ll take it with me next range trip.
