Ed,
I agree. Too many haughty gun "experts" dismiss these cartridges out of hand. In a fight I'd rather have a .45, but a well-placed shot with a .32 has certainly stopped a fight more than just a few times.
I think back to how destructive the .36s and .44s were in round ball form in the Civil War. Because they were round balls, they didn't weigh much and didn't have much muzzle energy. They were nonetheless very effective. If somebody starts throwing .25s at me, I'm gonna be too busy ducking to waste time laughing.
