I've had a few of the early and late war time mfg 32acp issues over the years and they were all nice handguns,,even the late issues.
They all functioned well with fmj ammo for which they were designed.

The only real fragile part that I can recall is the firing pin in those. The can break rather easily, but more are probably damaged upon disassembly than from use.
One thing to check when buying a war time HSc is that the firing pin tip is still there. The rear half will remain in place and keep the safety function of the pistol appearing normal but the tip can be broken off. I think I've still got a couple of the back halfs around here from repair jobs.

The post war HSc made a change in the design to eliminate the fragile nature of that part.
