"Because the resultant cartridge would be nearly identical in capabilities to .380 ACP, and there isn't much market demand for a cartridge to fill this tiny niche."

I don't want to sound argumentative but I have the impression the .32 ACP cartridge modified to eliminate rim lock with bullet diameter rounded out to 8mm would be more similar to a .32 ACP, not a .380 ACP.

"A couple of such cartridges already exist: the 7.65 Parabellum aka .30 Luger—the parent cartridge of 9mm Luger—and the 7.62x25 Tokarev."

Thank you for that feedback but these cartridges look altered like the bottom bulges out then tapers down to the bullet area. The .327 Federal Magnum is a straight cartridge.

"What you talking 'bout, Willis?
There's no such problem with the Beretta 81, and I don't see where anyone has brought it up here."

The Firing Line https://thefiringline.com/forums/sho...7&postcount=18 quote from that post: "...There are some Beretta Series 81 specific tips in the following linked thread. Take note of what I wrote about the frame-battering problem at high round counts. (There's a link to another thread in that post.)

"Using such (bunny fart) loads in an auto pistol usually requires carefully tuning the recoil spring weight to function properly with a given load."

Thanks for the info.
