Run across one of these yesterday, for a good price, unfired, comes with a box of shells, thinking about buying it but, thinking shells will be very hard to find. Any input from the fire? No ammo on Gunbroker. Anyone know where some could be found. Not something you would shoot alot!

No new ammo for non-collectible brand = useless, a paperweight in this case real samll one. Pass, equal appeal to Charter Arms 9x19R. For pocket I use P32, gun designed around cartridge it chambers. New mags need few days of spring compression with S&B ball ammo and you are GTG.

.32 ACP isn't that hard to come by. Worse comes to worst, there's Buffalo Bore, if you just want something to load it up with.

I had one of these in the 1980s. I wasn't that impressed with the reliability. I did find, however, that they were about 100% reliable with the flush magazines, i.e., the reliability issues were with the mags having a pinky rest. My theory was that the pinky resting on the pinky rest changed the position of the magazine just enough to negatively effect reliability.

I have a Beretta Jetfire. My local Cabelas didn't have any 25acp on the shelf, but they did on their website, so I got free ship-to-store shipping. That's another option.

Federal just released a 45 grain flat-nosed solid in 25acp. Midway shows it in-stock.

The 25NAA is not .25 ACP. I offered .32 ACP as viable alternative. Both .32 ACP and .25 ACP ammo should be available at any half decent gunshop.

This is Not a 32, it's a 25 cal bullet loaded into a 32 round, I'd say. 25acp won't work either. Sposed to be a hot little round! Was told Hornady and Corebon were the only ones to load this. Guess it would be better to pass on it. Just something different. I DO HAVE 32ACP AND 25ACP I have heard if these, about 20 years ago I was offered one with 8 box's of ammo. I said I'd buy it but when I went to get it, the gun shops partner had just sold it to someone else. Thanks for the input.

Yup that's it! Can you still buy it? Is CorBon still in business? The box of ammo that comes with the gun was missing that end flap.

Gotcha. Missed that. Looks like a miniature .357 Sig.

Interesting, didn't know it was a thing. I looked, it's not in the 9th edition of Cartidges of the World

I use Fiocchi or S&B fmj in .32ACP, but you can get Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 60gr JHP at avg Vo of 1100fps. I have no stake in this, but I would not waste my money on tiny .357 SiG, 7,62 Tokarev or .30 Luger.

I believe Cor-Bon is still in business. I don't know if they are making the 25NAA ammo or not. Might have to check their website.
