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
