[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 1219415, member: 5168"] Its like several statements I've made in the past in reference to the little pocket rockets floating around in .32acp, and .380acp. Both are critical of barrel length. If both are used in in something similar to a Walther PP, or Beretta 80 series, even though under powered by the likes of 9MM, or .38spl, they have greater velocity and energy than say a Keltec, or LPC. These small pocket calibers are very sensitive to barrel length. You put these two rounds into a larger gun such as the ones listed above, and they truly become an effective option for CCW. Same with the .32NAA, like the barrels you have for your Mak, if this cartridge had come out during the wonder years of the FN 1910, Colt 1903, Walther PP, and others, I think it would have made a name for itself. Granted during those times HP ammo was just about unheard of, but move forward 60yrs, and a 60 to 65gr HP stepping along at 1300 to 1400FPS would have been a painful surprise for a BG. In an all steel gun such as the Mak, or PP, 1903, 1910 recoil would still be easily controlled making followup shots easy. [/QUOTE]
