That's one I lust after, the savage 1907. Very art deco looking pistol!
Cries turn of the century (1900, not 2000! LOL)

OP, congrats on your 3 new projects. Please keep us posted on your work, I would like to see your progress. I got into the world of 32's during the last 22 shortage and have not looked back.
As for the power of a 32, I carry one daily at work due to the need of deep carry. I feel better having my NAA Guardian in 32acp VS just my d!ck to protect me. I practice with my 32 and feel confidant of being able to hit my target at a reasonable distance. Would I prefer a larger caliber? Of course but I also would like to know the exact time and place I would need it but that's not going to happen either so.

You may want to get a Remington 51 in .32, as it's one of the few pistols in that caliber with a locking system of sorts. Another is the little KelTec .32 I think, but not many more. I imagine it's harder to get a lower powered round to function well with a locked breech.

My name is Dain...
*Hi Dain!* ...and I have the start of a .32 addiction. I have a 1903 and a FEG AP. And four revolvers in .32 mag or .327. |

Mod12Win, “Zero stopping power” tell that to the assassin who used an FN 7.65mm pistol to start WWI when a single shot to each killed Archduke Ferdinand and wife Sophie.
Dakota Potts, The Zastava 70 is a slick little pistol that is made well, shoots well ( I killed a couple of Texas hogs in a trap with one shot to each) is reliable and current offerings are inexpensive. I put mine in a shoulder holster and threw it in the console of my Jeep for a “ truckgun”. Last edited by Ibmikey; September 15, 2018 at 09:11 AM. |

My Mauser 1914 is a WW1 veteran and fun to shoot. My Beretta Model 100 is basically a 32acp target pistol. Just today I picked up a Taurus Millenium 32acp that seems like it will also be a lot of fun to shoot. If you reload, 32acp is cheap entertainment.

Dakota. Now that is the best response that could have been made
I have about a dozen pistols in.32 ACP so I am a bit biased. |

Only .32 I had was a Seecamp. You couldn't fire a mag without some kind of failure. I dumped it FAST.

There have been conflicting reports over the years, but it has been definitively settled that Gavrilo Princip used an FN 1910 in 9mm short (.380 ACP) to start WWI.

Dain I stand corrected, however, there are those who catalog the .32 and .380 as being inept. I would not enjoy being shot with either.

The seecamps can be finicky about ammo, but once you find the right combo, they are reliable. Because they are so small, the tolerances are very tight.

High Valley, As I remember my buddy’s back up Seecamp utilized Winchester silvertip and functioned flawlessly. Silvertip is hard to find today and requires an armored car full of cash to purchase a box, my Walther (pre war) .32 will shoot most anything reliably and is a dream to shoot with the ammo they were designed for. Once the .380 was introduced to the PPK it began it’s infamous reputation as an unpleasant pistol to shoot ( talking about PPK not PP or PPK S).

I found that Speer Gold Dots and Winchester FMJ (the ones with the flat tip FMJ) work flawlessly in it. So I bought a ton of them.

Cool H&R. It looks like the British service pistol.

I think it was patterned off the Webley Self-Loading Pistol

.32acp/7.65 Browning was perfect for putting down feral dogs and other
annoying animals in the days when you could do that without the PETA nutters having a cow about it. Basically Pre-1992...at least in the South. It'll kill a human without too much trouble either. All the shooter has to do is actually aim it properly Or just get lucky...after all, Reagan almost bought it from a .22 hit... that same shot on anyone else would have resulted in death, since few have on-hand protective folks to haul them to the hospital. Anyone willing to stand downrange and get shot by a .32acp?? Even at 50 yards?? Probably not Mouse calibers have their niche. One has to work within it's parameters for full effectiveness. My usual thought when carrying a .32 is, "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes".
