Duo 25 APC ammo

Rod,
You are right. While here in the US the favored small auto cartridge was the .380, the vast majority of Europeans preferred the .32.
I understand that some pistols bought by the Germans during WWII were originally designed for the .380 but the Germans requested them in .32 instead. (More knowledgeable members may confirm or deny this.)
The .32 is in my opinion, like the .25 auto, in the sense that, it is more potentially effective in hardball configuration than hollowpoint (and possibly the .380 also).
I have seen a .32 auto go through a closet wall, a vacuum cleaner and lodge itself in the opposite closet wall. So it is absolutely not something to be sneered at. One of these days I'll tell you guys the story about the aforementioned bullet's twin, referred to simply as "the bullet". The story is 40 years long and I am now in possession of "the bullet".
