Both the HSC, and the 1914 are really great little guns. The only complaint is the 'heel' magazine release. The European Police, and Military used the .32 acp for many years, and found it to be very capable of taking care of the bad guys. WWll German officers generally carried Walther PPs, or Mauser 1914s, but their only 'heavy lifting' was shooting someone behind the ear, and you don't need a .44 Mag for that.
