As far as .32 Autos I've had a bunch over the years

All the various military models that have passed through, Doug too. Some of interest were Hungarian, German, and Italian military handguns. Right now I think the only example of an auto I have is a tiny little Bayard M1908 in .32 ACP. I really liked the Sauer & Sohns 38H as it was one of my all time favorites. The little Beretta 1935 is a great gun, some like the Walther and Mauser HSc but I've never owned copies of either. I do sort of like the odd tubular Astra. Who does not like the Colt M1903, but placed along side it found it exactly the same size as my Kahr P40 6-shot .40 S&W, only heavier!

The practicality of a .32 ACP for modern carry is a bit arguable but for the fun of it and collectors interest they have a lot going for them. They are lots cheaper than the larger bores.

The little Bayard .32 despite being made in the 1920's is exactly the same size as a modern Kel-tec .32. The Flappers are all gone but but bad sorts remain. Would it do as well today as it did 100 yrs. ago?
