I just went to my LGS and tried to buy some .32 ACP and they had none. Zilch. They had plenty of less common rounds like .50 Beowulf, .454 Casull, .303 British, and apparently even .32 Smith & Wesson. /k/ do I carry an obsolete round? PPK by the way.

Most people don't see a point to .32 since almost any gun that can chamber it can also chamber .380
It's now relegated to pot metal Saturday Night Special territory.

That being said, it's not exactly "obsolete" but it's certainly not in high demand. As such, stores are less likely to carry it (at least a lot of it) and are less likely to be concerned about restocking it when they sell out.

Buy your ammo online.

>>30994792
Get a 9mm like the rest of the civilized world and stop crying about your dead round.

[/k/ has] or 10mm, or .45 acp [no spoilers]

This.

I can sometimes find fmj at WalMart, but that's it. The rest I order online.

Not obsolete. Not ubiquitous. KT, NAA, Seecamp and the Ring of Fire along with some surplus have kept .32 ACP alive into this age.

Just buy pack on pack of 71 gr ball.

It was pretty ubiquitous before the WWII, especially in Europe

.32 isn't gone yet.
It is close to extinct.
Good luck finding any supporting stuff for it, snap caps or cleaning gear. Some cartridges like long colt 45 stand the test of time, .32 acp isn't. There is a lot of ACP ammo going out of use.

instead of regularly using your .32, just have a custom barrel and chamber and magazine and extractor and stuff madefor your PPK in .17 and then neck down some 380 into wildcat ammo and make tiny high velocity rounds, easy

or yknow you could just buy a case of .32 online at any of the myriad of places that carry it by the pallet

Name one pistol round John Browning made that can pass the FBI denim test at 50 meters.

Protip; you fucking can't so go buy a .40

>>30995676
Come back and tell us what you do with a .32 acp when you put your hand on it.
Let us know if you hand loaded it or if you just said fuck it every time I touch this trigger engaging back and forth.

Do you know what year you're in?

32-20 and .25 ACP were once ubiquitous.
