KelTec P-32 with Armalaser is vastly superior to Ruger LCP with laser for us in keeping rounds tightly on target out to 10 yards. This is a very good backup or main carry even, when our manner of dress prevents us from carrying Glock 26.

.32 is underrated in the US. It is considerably weeker than todays Favoured self defence calibers. But if you shoot real european loads like Sellier& Bellot, Geco or Fiocchi you will gain quite a bit in the velocity department. If you shoot a PP size gun these fmj loads with a 75 grain bullet weight will be around 900 to 950 fps easily. .32 acp is a full class above .25 or .22 in handguns, many put all three in the same mousegun categorie which is just wrong. Even with these watered down loads like Pmc and Speer Gold Dot that you tested in this very short barrels it is still better. I never cared for hollow points in small calibers like this and would always take penetration over expansion and use fmj. I have a lot experience wit the . 32 acp .It was the main police caliber here in Europe for about 8 decades,from the beginning of 1900 till mid 1980'ties Handloaded in a 4 inch barrel you can get very close to 1000fps with a 75 grain fmj. Still not a powerhouse but way better than many think. And a 3/4 inch barrel is making a difference in this class pistols.

i think the benefit of the tip up barrell is you can have a chambered round and not have to decock the hammer on it, if you want to carry chambered/hammer down.

Does the wolf2 have a clearer less starbust reticle than the cat pro?

The Shield made single stack 357 sig.

he s right well the female anginas in fib couldn't shoot the 10 after 86 and here comes the 40 but thats why cops shot 40 the longest time til libtards got involved and well here comes the 9 as of last 10 yrs again 40 outperforms em all and fck u cards that cry oh the "technology noe" for 9's well that technology just up the 40 and makes it better manginas lol

Glock 22 15 plus 1 back with a 22 rd mag

At first I thought I clicked on a video of Jon Feterman.

It's sure beats a sharp stick.

The Seecamp LWS .32 ACP was built around the Winchester Silvertip. It actually did well in self defense situations. Best to remove the magazine first and rack the slide back and physically inspect the chamber. Just an added safety taught with firearms instructors.

124 grain is the superior 9mm load. 147s don't get enough expansion and 115s don't get enough penetration.

I have two Desert Eagles in 44 magnum. They were both a pain to get working, but since then, they’ve turned out to be good guns. The guns are also very accurate and tame even the hottest 44 loads.

The 32 ACP is fine. Underwood and Buffalo Bore make acceptable ammo for the 32 ACP. Obviously, a 2 inch barrel doesn’t allow optimal performance with any caliber, not just the 32 ACP, but just as with a snub nose, it’s far more concealable which is the point of the Tom Cat and Bob Cat. They are wonderfully designed pistols. Thanks for the video.

these guns are good for people with smaller than av. hands, like myself/ plus my grip caused by some numbness in my hands/ make the revolver a good option.I would say the commentater made some good points though. Alaways perform maintence on your firearm a minimum of once a year. Invest in a good concealed carry holster. and if u decided on the 5shot/ & be willing to carry 10 rounds with u when u carry it. later

There are three different “shooting styles” with the revolvers. Your category governs which style is legal. “Gunfighter” (not “Outlaw”) is the style in which you shoot five rounds with the right hand, six with the left.

You do not have to remove the manufacturers’ label removed from jeans. Here’s what the rule prohibits: The displaying of any manufacturer’s, sponsor’s, or team logos on apparel. (Manufacturer’s labels on such apparel or equipment are acceptable)

The ammo companies generally use a 3 - 4" test barrel when testing 32 ACP. Wayyy back when the 32ACP was launched guns of that time were often used in Europe as military sidearms and had 3-4+" barrels. A standard loading was a 71-77grain bullet at 900-925 fps.

What was the db different between the pellet and subsonic?

This argument is basically saying that a sword is better at cutting things than a knife. Duh. The sword is bigger, heavier, does more dmg, but don't act like the knife is not easier, more practical and even just as effective as a sword if used the right way. "Check it out, a tank round is ganna be way more effective than a snipers 50 cal. Check the states... Does the sniper rifle meet the militaries cost per effectiveness check test? Nope...you can blow up way more things and do way more dmg with a tank round." Thats not really the point. Different rounds for different jobs, and yes, there are different rounds for different self-defense situations. There is no (one round fits all) Silly notion, fun video, silly notion.

Great vid & even better attitude. Show me a guy who can take criticism well & I’ll show you a dude with no limits. Glad I’m a sub.

I watched and appreciate the information... maybe I am not the target audience however. I test ammunition for many calibers each year and can't imagine not having several loadings and at least half a dozen firearms for a given caliber. It can realy matter. I really appreciate the video as a response to viewer input, as cylinder gap and cylinder clearance pre cone can have a huge effect on some guns/calibers. A .0.006" cylinder gap on a 38sp, which has relatively low chamber pressure (half or so probably) and way higher gas volume will not be nearly as effected as high pressure, small bore with a tiny volume, at the same cylinder gap. In this case for demonstration of "stopping power", I suppose one average semi-auto gives the desired results. While the Tomcat is an unconventional micro pistol, it is also a very common 32 to this day, so a good choice for the video.

Great job and very interesting and I also like that you took interest in viewer the comments and you did this video to find out. Thanks, always learning!!!

I wasn't expecting the considerable (well, sort of) increase in velocity. With good shot placement the .32 round nose penetration certainly could damage vital organs. One thing is (could be related to .32) testing has shown .380 HP ammo can expand much more with a relatively small increase in barrel length in autoloaders. IIRC just a .750" increase, 3.0" compared to 2.25", makes a big difference.

You are insulting the 32 ACP by using it in entirely unsuitable guns. If Edward G. Robinson or Humphrey Bogart never used it in a movie, it is inappropriate. Pick one of the elegant classics... the 1903 Colt Pocket or the 1907 Savage, or the 1910 Browning, and there are several others. (The Walther, should you choose one, must be the original PPK and because Walthers are really kind of klunky, you have to insist that YOURS used to belong to Hitler himself.) My personal preference is the 1907 Savage for absolute pure, "you MUST wear a tuxedo", elegance. Frankly, the Beretta is offensive to the eye (unless it is the Model 1935 Beretta) and all that deserves reverence in the gun world. If you use a proper pistol with 32 ACP, the bullets will go twice as fast, penetrate twice as deeply and bring down any big game found on the African Continent, with a single shot to any part of said animal's anatomy. Also, your shooting will be far more accurate if you play the James Bond theme music while shooting. So, get thee to a gun store and buy the kind of gun the 32 ACP was meant to appear in!! Please show the proper reverence for John Browning's most beautiful baby!!

I believe that the best .32acp round, would be Underwood Xtreme Defender ammo.

Winchester adopted the .44WCF - only Colt had to use the .44-40 to avoid royalty. Both are identical. The Colt .45 could not be used in repeating rifles since at that time the .45 Colt have had a copper casing where the rim was too small for the extraction from repeating rifles.

I like the fact that you listened to suggestions and tried the test again. Great video.

I just had an apophany - the "FBI" hasn't been cool since the 1980's... Maybe instead of following their standard, we just realize that we can make our own standard based on 2024 results like these [slightly-sarcastic]

Tried to comment three times, but RUclips deleted each attempt. If this comment goes through I guess their new "pew pew" channel policies don't allow anyone to actually talk about "pew pews" here.

Still my favorite series on any "guntube" channel. Thanks for another great video Rodney.

Wow! That really demonstrated why twist rate is so important. Thank you!

Handload, Buffalo Bore and maybe Underwood

Thanks a lot! As a 357 guy who is aging this was helpful.

Interesting content, nicely presented. That rifle you've got there is a dandy.

“They’re a little wonky, but who isn’t...”. Totally relatable, subscribed.

I been shot by this. Ouch lol

I have a Taurus 856 snubbie. I want the Taurus Executive model. Well balanced and beautiful satiny finish. I have six rounds of Federal nyclad JHP rounds in mine . I think 3 inch is a Great medium. I may get a M200 RIA in 3 inch.

Just recently picked up a Taurus 327. Fires the 327 Fed Mag, and uses all the holsters of the 605 357 Mag, so there is plenty of support. Also uses the speed loaders for the Ruger SP101 32 caliber. Recoil is reasonable for the power displayed, and really accurate at snub nose ranges. And pretty light in an Alien holster.

A Colt Detective Special or Taurus 856 if you are on a budget are perfect for people who are fairly new to guns. They aren't ammo sensitive, they don't depend on properly functioning magazines, there are no awkward manual safeties to worry about, and there is no magazine to drop loose at the wrong time. Load a 6 shot .38 with suitable ammunition (your choice), throw in a speedloader for a reload, and you are good to go. It's a bit bigger, but a 2" S&W Model 10 will work fine, too. You don't need adjustable sights on a self-defense gun, and they can actually be a hindrance.

Rodney, you missed your calling, you should have been a teacher, you are really good at explaining things.

From begin to now she handles the firearm much better ,good job mom

Agree 100% with your presentation. I'm not in law enforcement. Back when I travelled across the country for business, I wanted my wife to have a gun she was comfortable with. About 15 years ago I bought a Glock 22. I upgraded the mag from 10 to 15 rounds. We keep it loaded with hollow point rounds - ready to go. We have been to various shooting ranges throughout the years. We are both very comfortable and accurate with the G22. It has never jammed or misfired. Extremely reliable. No regrets.

I work security in the hospital and they brought in a patient that was shot with a 38 I know because I saw the slug it was 158 Grain round nose the dude was sitting on a park bench somebody drove by and shot him through the abdomen, hewalked to the ambulance. I think a lot of 38 specials are loaded down because of all cheap Spanish revolvers that are out there. When I reload mine I go in between 38 and 357 ballistics. No signs of pressure and the bullets will expand

I have the Sig P320 in .357 sig and I love it!

2:27 Love your channel, but ACP’s are for pistols not revolvers due to pressure loss. Would love to see a 32 test in the new PPK 32 that just came out.

I have the Sig P229 chambered in 357

What can I say Abt d Remington .380 guys! Anyone?

Agreed 👍 😊

I feel like it should be 7 SHOT MINIMUM 😮
