Thats interesting, I find that if I shoot 'very mild loads', my auto-pistols will not cycle properly, and jams result. Which is why I shoot very mild loads thru revolvers (where moon-clips are normally used), but the 32ACP is a semi-rimmed cartridge and can be fired thru a revolver chambered for 32 long.

You should try 32ACP, a cartridge that cuts deeper than 380, yet without the extra snap.
