A 71 grain fmj at barely over 900 fps. That's 130 ft/lbs. A pretty low threshold of strength it seems to me. Several standard production European .32 acp offerings are spec'd just above that. Are they saying that off-the-shelf European ammo is at the ragged edge of the limits of that gun?

I've been tempted to get one for a long time but always hold back.
