I should have made it more clear. Although others have reported FTF's with hollowpoints, I didn't experience any with the old Silver Tips. What I meant to say is that expansion of jacketed hollowpoints in the Mousegun calibers is marginal, at best. That's why I recommended S&B and Fiocchi FMJ's, since at least they'll penetrate some.

+1! and the standard 32 acp is a little nasty round that tend to ricochet on the bones and makes additional dammages. Andy Warhol was shot by his secretary 3 times with a 32acp and all vitals organes were damaged!

7,65mm (.32 acp) is a very effective round. The U.S. basically dismisses it as an anemic sub-caliber mouse gun round. Nothing can be further from the truth. 7,65mm has been used internationally for decades upon decades. Very easy caliber to consistent keep rounds rapidly on target. As has been mentioned earlier, it's best to go with 73 grain fmj loads; either S&B or Fiocchi.

The Walthers do not feel as good in my hands as the Sig 230/232. I had a line on a LNIB Japanese 230 in 32 but could not free up funds.

I prefer the PPK in .32...great shooter. I also have a Beretta 70 in .32 which is a blast to shoot and I prefer it to the .380 I also own. I have never owned a P230 in .32 but have fired a couple and enjoyed the .32 more than the .380 in that platform as well. I guess I just like shooting the .32!
