Great post. The only 32 ACP I have is a Walther/Manhurin that according to the folks here was made around 1957. The same year I was made. I was I was in as good a shape as my pistol.
Mine has the Walther Xed out on the frame and grips. Apparently Walther told Manhurin they couldn't mark their guns with the brand name anymore.
I bought my gun in a pawn shop in 2008 and someone had for some reason lost the plunger on the end of the spring that powers the extractor. I got the gun for $250 OTD. At the time S&W was making a Walther PPK copy(my bud bought the 380 version) so I called S&W and they emailed a diagram and asked what parts I needed. They had them to me in a few days for just a little over $15.00.
I haven't shot it a great deal but its shooter. The double action is heavy but the single action isn't too bad. I need to get a spare mag for it and make a holster. I am always on the lookout for a new 32 or any kind.
