The .32 ACP pistol cartridge is the child of the famous firearms designer John Browning.
It was designed for early blowback pistols, that lacked a barrel locking mechanism.
The .32 ACP is compact and light, but short ranged and lacks stopping power. Even so it remains a viable self defense cartridge for use in compact pistols.
The .32 ACP is also known as: 7.65 mm
Muzzle Velocity:
- 4.8 g (74 gr) full metal jacket: 290 m/s (950 ft/s)
