Some of the European loadings of traditional European cartridges, such as .32 auto, are loaded hotter than the US versions...I often carry a .32 ACP pistol, and use S&B ball ammo only. Out of a 4.5" barrel it is well over 1000 FPS and VERY accurate*...Penetrates 11" or more as well, and there is little recoil to worry about.
I have read that many US brands of ammo are made elsewhere and just carry the US brand names. I did not know that Fiocchi was made here...but it is very good, reliable ammo.
* the pistol is a 1944 FN Browning Model 1922 with German commercial proofs. It has some finish dings, so I decided to carry it after replacing the springs. It is a gem, has never failed and is extremely accurate.
