JH obviously suffers from “first time reader, long time blatherer”.

Grip panels NOT on the hands, on the flank “….clip carried at 5:00”.

Rim lock when using mixed length cartridges. Don’t do it.

Been using and carrying the P32 for years, NEVER once had rimlock using Fiocchi FMJ rounds, no ‘wire in the magazine’ ever needed. Grip panels aren’t too rough at all, but if they hurt the hands of ‘Hoyden’, he can use some lotion in his purse. As far as ‘considering a .380’, well, look at the ballistics, almost the same, and the P32 holds more rounds than most .380 models out there. The P32 is a tried and true platform and the caliber is more than capable of doing its job.

A few downsides:

The grip panels are very rough on your tender flesh, like clip carried at 5:00 position against your skin.

Rim lock. Being semi-rimmed, the .32 ACP is subject to getting the rim of a round higher in the magazine locked behind the rim of the next round down the column-now your weapon is locked and beyond tap/rack. Stay with full length cartridges, never mix lengths in the same magazine, google how to run a wire down the spine of the magazine to keep all rounds “forward”.

Consider a .380 instead.
