Who makes a .32 auto pistol???

[slowburninsteve]

Call me crazy, but I really like the .32 auto cartridge. I am looking for another pistol that chambers this cartridge. I already have a Walther PP and a North American Arms Guardian. Does anyone know of another company that makes a good quality auto in .32 acp???
Thanks,
Steve

Kel Tec, Seecamp

Beretta, Bersa and CZ all make nice .32 auto pistols.

Ya want modern or classic?

 

[swilli41]

I like them too. Just go with the king (IMO) of pocket autos....the 1903 Colt.
You can add the Sauer 38H and Remington 51 to Smith 357's list as well.

I have the Tomcat and it always works well for me and fits my rather large hands where the smaller 32s won't. I have a Guardian but it's in .380, are the 32s any smaller?

 

[slowburninsteve]

Classics are very hard to find around here. Looking more for current manufacture, preferably in stainless. Would love to find a Sig Sauer P230. That would be on the largest end of the scale I want.
Thanks,
Steve

32 ACP is a fun cartridge to shoot. If my Nazi-marked CZ 27 didn't have some collector's value I would shoot it more often.

 

[Rule3]

IMHO the best bang for your buck is the CZ 83, Even buying a new one. They are tack drivers if you want a shooting gun and not a SD gun.

CZ-USA -> CZ 83

Picked up this European police surplus CZ83 not too long ago for $250. 15 rounds plus one in the pipe, and it fits the hand very well.

My wife is currently carrying a Walther PP. She's switching to a Bersa (so I can get my Walther back.)

I like the Colt 1903. Another great little pistol was the HK4-never should have sold mine.

S & W also made one and also the .35 (most would shoot 32 acp, as well)

Ditto a CZ83 in 32 if you're looking for something 'modern'. Most of the Milsurp importers had them a while back. In 9mmMak I think it's a CZ82 and Military issue instead of Police/Security.
Anyway the few I've seen were quite nice for the price. Should be able to find them for sale yet at shows, shops and net.

I don't know if Mauser made the post war HSc in 32auto or just 380. They're pretty nice pistols with a few refinements from the war-time issue.
Made in the 70's,, maybe that's too old mfg'r.
I'd take the original version anyway.

Older stuff,,take your pick. There are lots of different 32's out there and most everyone that likes them has a favorite or two or three.
Your PP is a great choice IMHO.

There are many .32s to choose from.
It is a somewhat anemic round in comparison to .380s, 9s, and .38s, but I sure as hell would not want to take a hit from one anywhere. It is a lethal round, just not real powerful. That bein' said, I am also partial to the .32acp. I am especailly fond of theColt 1903 pocket hammerless. I like all the old Brownings as well. And the Savages. And the 1910 & 1914 Mausers. The .32 has been around a long time, and is a well proven round.
You should be able to find something you like if you go to a show or make a little road trip around your area.

 

[TACC1]

If you're looking for everyday carry, in an environment
that requires total concealability, try a Kel-Tek P-32.
It is light, flat, and conceals just about anywhere. And,
with the available clip, it doesn't even need a holster.
Although a little larger than the steel-frame tiny
.32's, it fits better in you hand, Really flat! If you don't
end up liking the gun, you're not out that much.
JMHO, TACC1.

 

[gregintenn]

If you aren't insisting on a new one, Colt, Remington, and Savage all make a pretty decent pistol in 32 ACP.

I have lots of .32 acp/7.65mm pistols from an ancient FN Browning 1900 to a new Beretta Tomcat I just bought Friday.

The caliber really gets poo-pooed in the US..however it has a good reputation in Europe..and has served as military and police issue for many countrys succesfuly.
