RE: Daughter wants a .32
I doubt that the .32 will ever be fired in anger. At the same time, I have known detectives that carried the old .32 revolvers and they knew what was at stake.
Don't ever volunteer to stand downrange. If you survive it, you will need a skilled surgeon. And if you are up against the likes of Baby Face Nelson, who took 17 rounds and was mortally wounded several times over yet took out 2 G-men, .... you are destined for the heavenly choir no matter what.
Hype does not worry me. Marksmanship does.
