Pocket pistols in 32 ACP are light, slim, and easy to carry, and a hollow point load gives them their best defensive potential. This listing is PMC Bronze 32 ACP 60 grain jacketed hollow point ammo, MPN 32B, sold as a 1,000 round case.
PMC rates this load at 980 fps with 117 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 60 grain hollow point is lighter than the traditional 71 grain FMJ, which raises velocity and gives the bullet a better chance to expand from short barrels. Recoil is very mild, which helps with fast, accurate follow-up shots from small pistols. This load suits personal defense in a 32 pocket pistol, and with 1,000 rounds you can also practice with it extensively.
This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 32 ACP, also called 32 Auto or 7.65mm Browning, including the Kel-Tec P32, the Beretta Tomcat 3032, the Walther PPK and PP in 32, the Seecamp LWS 32, the North American Arms Guardian 32, and the Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless. A common question is whether 32 ACP and 32 S&W Long are interchangeable. They are not. 32 ACP is a semi-rimmed pistol cartridge, while 32 S&W Long is a revolver cartridge. Another common question is whether hollow points feed in vintage 32 pistols. Older designs were built around round nose bullets, so test hollow points carefully in collector pistols.
PMC 32B is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded in South Korea by PMC. The cases are brass and the load is non-corrosive. This case contains 20 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 1,000 rounds of 32 ACP 60 grain JHP. In a caliber that can be scarce, a full case keeps a carry pistol supplied for testing, practice, and carry for many years. Rotate carried rounds once or twice a year and shoot the older ones at the range.
