Not bad at all. I love the grips. What ammo do you shoot out of it. I carry and practice with Fiocchi FMJ out of my P32.

it's been rechambered to .32naa.
I like Fiocchi, not an option now. I'm about to try reloads.

Nice!! Thats the 32 in a 380 necked down, like a 357sig or the 7.62x25 right? I read about them supposedly has great penetration. Where do you find the ammo?

Corbon is the only maker I believe, and at a $! around the reloading tools will pay for themselves quickly.

I saw a company (inovative firearms i think) that made the 32naa barrels for cz82/83. They also had a carbine

Innovative rechambered my pistol, did a good job too.

Chimera, what is the advantage to rechambering to .32naa.? I don't know anything about the cartridge other than I new it was being manufactured and I've never read any stats on it. Would you mind posting some numbers, I'm sure others would also be interested too.
Thanks in advance,
G.R.

Gunny,
'sposed to be able to get energy levels in the .38 special range. It is really hard on cases.

60gr bullet @ 1400fps.

Chimera, thanks for the reply, how is the accuracy of the cartridge and what is the recoil like. You mentioned that the cartridges take a beating, are they reloadable?

The 72gr lead bullet I loaded nearly took the bottle neck out and throws cases 30'.
I been waiting for the supply of 60gr jacketed to catch up and I'll try those.
Recoil is not bad (if it had a stronger recoil spring I wouldn't be able to load it) and accuracy is is good.
