About the Cartridge

Initially introduced in Europe, this semi-rimmed centerfire cartridge came to the United States when Colt introduced its 'Pocket Model' semiautomatic pistol. Like the .25 ACP, the .32 ACP is considered by many as too weak to be an effective self-defense round. But it has been an extremely popular caliber, notably by the fact that practically all minor and major manufacturers of autoloading handguns in the world have built millions of small pocket autoloaders in .32 Auto.

CZ Model 50
By Dan on 01 Jul 2023
I carried a S&W 38 special when a law enforcement officer many years ago. I have owned and used CZ Model 50 for 35 years and I wouldn't exchange it for any caliber you care to name! I conceal carry and have shot hundreds of rounds in this weapon! I'm 78 years old and this weapon fits me to a T! I also own and carry two Bul Cherokee 9mm. Love them but too heavy for my age!
