32 AUTO

32 ACP ammo (aka 32 Auto or 7.65mm Browning Short) is a light and compact pistol cartridge developed at the end of the 19th century by the great John Browning. Although it is considered weak by modern standards, it would be preposterous to suggest that the 32 Auto is wholly inadequate for self-defense applications. Bullet weights typically range from 60 to 73 grains; heavier bullets are more popular for personal protection. Browse and load-up with our in-stock 32 ACP ammo for sale below.

More About 32 ACP Ammo

Is the .32 Auto the Same as the .32 ACP?

Yes. These are simply two names for the same cartridge. Although it is often called the .32 Auto, the official name in America for the round is “.32 ACP,” which stands for Automatic Colt Pistol. This designation simply means that the bullet was designed by Colt’s Manufacturing Company and was intended specifically for their semi-automatic handguns. Other rounds, such as the .25 ACP and .45 ACP share that "ACP" surname.

Can You Shoot .32 Auto in a Firearm Made for .32 S&W?

The .32 S&W Long, sometimes the .32 Long (but should not be mistaken for the older .32 S&W), is a distinct cartridge that was made by Smith & Wesson. Although they share some of the same dimensions, they have a few different measurements, including differences in the rim thickness and rim diameter. While some claim they can be interchangeable, you’ll want to check with your firearms manufacturer or an expert to make certain .32 Auto rounds can be safely fired in a gun made for .32 S&W ammo.

What Types of Firearms Shoot the .32 ACP?

While there are revolvers that can shoot the .32 ACP, the majority of these cartridges are used in pistols. As the “ACP” suggests, the bullet was developed for semi-automatic, self-loading pistols.

How Does the .32 ACP Compare to the .380 ACP?

Although the .32 ACP is sometime belittled as a weakling, these are two capable rounds that deliver reliable self defense. .380 ACP ammo, however, generally has stronger velocity and muzzle energy, giving it a clear advantage in stopping power. The .32 ACP remains a reliable cartridge for people who want a smaller, manageable, and more compact weapon.

Is the .32 Auto Strong Enough for Personal Defense?

Yes. Although many people will recommend a larger caliber, such as the .40 S&W or .357 Magnum for personal protection, the .32 Auto is perfectly capable of providing reliable performance when you need it. This cartridge delivers muzzle velocities around 1,000 feet per second, depending on the product, so you can certainly expect quality penetration on your target. Although the muzzle energy remains under 200 foot pounds, it’s still a perfectly capable self-defense cartridge for the right person. If choosing the .32 Auto for self defense, you will want an expanding round that delivers a wider wound channel and less over-penetration; this means you’ll likely want a jacketed hollow point or a soft nose round.

Love this ammo because it’s light and it shoots flawlessly in both my Beretta 30 X Beretta 3032 bobcat.

7.65 Browning is hard to find. Only three brands fit the bill, and S&B is the most powerful choice of the three. Regular 32 ammo won't cycle in the 110 year old pistol. Ammo to go had this ammo at the right price. Shipped in 24 hours... Amazing!. Thanks ammo to go!
