re: .32 caliber pistols?

That Beretta looks cool. You can definitely see where the 92FS got its looks.
My old man also has a Colt 1903 .32. I remember shooting it as a kid but not much.

Keltec makes a few 32 acp's these days. Be cool to have an old one but no way I'd buy one new when a 380 is the same size pistol.

That's why I was confused. I wasn't aware there was a .32acp out there. Carry on
This shocks me with your extensive handgun knowledge. Seriously.

next question: where should i shop for ammo?
Posted on 2/18/13 at 2:40 pm to LSUFan3434
Cabelas had several types when I bought mine.

Isnt this what Keltec has out now, a little p32? I considered buying one they were so cheap but when with a .380 lcp. Dont think it will be hard at all to find ammo. Anyone who carrys keltecs should have it.

Mine looks similar to this. I guess this is what it is. I'm not sure of the model of mine. I just bought it because it was a cheap Beretta and I like guns.

Mine was manufactured is 1939

The Beretta looks like it's been nicely cared for. 
What kinda condition is the Colt in?

the colt is in worse condition than the picture of the exact one in this thread. i would love to clean it up and take a closer look at it, but it's my wife's uncles gun...i doubt he will hand it down to me

Mine definitely has some city miles on her

My grandfather had a .32 browning. it had a screwed up story behind it - somehow acquired it in Germany during WWII. At one point when we took it to a gunsmith who advised against ever firing it, as the Germans were known to booby trap the frames somehow to explode when fired, then leave the guns in bunkers for American troops. This is the first time I've ever said (or typed) this out loud, and having done so, now it sounds like bullshite.
Doesn't matter, because his 4th wife took it after he died and sold it. But, not until after she sold the Luger he brought back from Germany also (that was legit, had all the paperwork to prove it). Then she produced the .32 browning and tried to claim it was the luger.

My paw was in the pacific theater. I think he got that when he was still over there.

I've never heard of that caliber.
I think they were big back when. I Pow Pow owned a bar at one time and carried a .32 with pearl grips. I so wanted it, he died and I never saw it again.
I was only 8 so not much I could do.
RIP Pow Pow

Huh, that looks a bit like my grandfather's. More so than the .32 Brownings I pulled up on google. Perhaps it was German made and not Browning. I'll have to check with my folks. I'm fuzzy on the details. I just remember being told they were made to malfunction and injure US troops who would find them.
ETA - Browning did make german army guns (or at least, belguim manufactured browning designed guns. I'm still confused.

And if you can deal with an extra 1/8" or 1/4" you can get a 9mm ..... much better cartridge than a .380
