The reason people bad mouth 32ACP, is they have very little or NO experience with the round! Especially in quality handguns!
As a kid, my father always carried a Colt 1908. He dispatched angry dogs. and even one night shot a moue off the curtain rod (Boy was mom mad!)
My first 32ACP was a nazi police Walther PPk. I did a number of penetration tests with American FMJ, German FMJ and Winchester STHP. The American FMJ is a little light but the other two are just fine for warm and cool weather clothing, perhaps better than American 380 FMJ!
But it always comes down to personal preference.
