Not really amazing, Mike - If you consider that the .32's were effective because modern medicine was only a gleam in some researcher's eye, back when most of them were popular police rounds, in the early 20th Century.

If a person was shot with pretty much anything back then, if not "stopped" (like a head shot), they usually died from septsis (literally:lead poisoning" - not just a wry comment) shortly thereafter.

Euro police used .32 auto's effectively for much the same reason - they worked.
