\u201c\u2018That’s the attractive thing about war,\u2019 said Rosewater. \u2018Absolutely everybody gets a little something.\u2019\u201d \u2013 Slaughterhouse-Five<\/p>\n

That line, from Kurt Vonnegut\u2019s greatest work, isn\u2019t meant to be taken literally. Like Vonnegut himself, the character speaking is a WWII veteran. By \u201ca little something,\u201d he\u2019s referring to suffering.<\/p>\n

My own grandfather certainly got his fair share of that in France. He also got a little something that actually was attractive: a shiny Sauer 38H pistol, which has since become my family\u2019s most treasured heirloom.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrevious owner didn\u2019t need it anymore,\u201d my grandfather once explained to me vis-\u00e0-vis the Sauer\u2019s origin.<\/p>\n

Did the \u201cprevious owner\u201d wish he had something more powerful than a 32 ACP during his encounter with my grandfather? Judging from my grandfather\u2019s incredible marksmanship, which would end the lives of thousands of woodchucks during peacetime, the thought may have never had time to cross his mind.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the only point I really need to make. Although it is weak by contemporary standards, the 32 ACP is by no means incapable of doing what the great John Moses Browning designed it to do: neutralize a human opponent.<\/p>\n

32 ACP’s Place in History<\/h3>\n

Dozens of countries have issued 32 ACP (aka 32 Auto) pistols to their military and police over the decades. Those pistols\u2019 smaller size made them economical and easy to carry \u2013 both great advantages for weaponry to have. And although the 32 ACP was already outclassed by many other cartridges at the time of its introduction, it still proved plenty effective at the kinds of objectives military and police seek to accomplish.<\/p>\n

Have you chosen to carry a 32 ACP pistol as your primary or secondary carry? Or have you recently inherited your own grandfather\u2019s Sauer, and haven\u2019t the faintest idea what kind of ammo to buy for it? Then rejoice. I\u2019m about to recommend some of the best 32 ACP ammo money can buy.<\/p>\n
