Slapshot Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 9x23 impressive stats on this one just never gained popularity. Kinda like the 38 super which has its own cult like following. Though I think this will go to the same graveyard as the 327mag only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashknife Cowboy Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I will keep my .45 ACP and 9mm. I cannot see the advantage other than the potential "cool new factor". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really??? Then it's doomed from the start. Rimlock issues, here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 .32ACP has severe issues with rimlock in some guns. JHP ammo is usually shorter in OAL than FMJ, and when the rounds shift back and forth inside the mag you end up with a gun that jams on you at the worst possible moment. Seecamp purposely made their LWS-32 to only fit short JHP ammo, and Kel-Tec used to offer a magazine spacer for their P-32. Whenever it gets so hot outside that I'm forced to carry my P-32 I use FMJ ammo in it just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty popular round overseas back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 It's a rimless cartridge. I posted the specs on the last page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
