Interesting. The .32 ACP is a pistol found often neglected in sock drawers and rarely fired. On the occasions that they were fired in anger, the calibre seemed to exceed it's ballistic paper value on many occasions. Penetration and the nature of bullet deviation within cavities appeared to enhance it's stopping power no end.
