[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 800114, member: 711"] A bit to the side of the topic, but the .32 NAA round is a hot little number, and if you can find some of the no longer produced Extreme Shock ammo, it's ferocious. It looks like the round is one of those "might-have-been" proprietary rounds that never caught on enough to be a big player. I think CorBon still produces it in ball and hollow point. I don't have ballistic info handy, but do recall that out of my converted Makarov the Extreme Shock stuff produces about 1800 fps, and the CorBon runs around 1600, both with a 65 grain bullet. Cases are necked down .380s. I have several hundred CorBon hollow points, a few ES rounds, and maybe a hundred ball (which myMak does not like--may be a little too long). Also have a bunch of Starline brass and a set of new dies in case I ever get motivated to shoot much of it. Mouse guns won't produce that much velocity because of shorter barrels, but they are still respectable. I kept intending to pick up an NAA pistol, but never found one. Finally got a P-3AT KelTec which I consider an adequate closeup gun with ball ammo. Also have a little Charter Arms five shooter that I would not load with +P, but like for deep concealment. Like the others, I much prefer that caliber over the .380. I wish there were some tiny 9x18 weapons. This stuff is what the .380 would like to be, possibly because of the greater diameter (.363 or so vs .355). I have a friend who will argue about knockdown. He was rudely awakened by the Tet offensive and knocked a bunch of VC down very hard with his .45 acp. For a flingwing guy he's a hell of a shot. CB [/QUOTE]
