There are new excellent rounds for the 32 acp pistols. Currently there are Beretta 32s coming to the US from Italian police surplus, with 12 round magazines in double/single. They are concealable and reliable.

I also alternate carry with a Taurus 22 magnum revolver in 2 inch barrel, eight round wheel gun. With stripper reloads they can be reloaded quickly. There are also a couple of other 32 acp pistols which make nice carry pieces with the new cavitation rounds: CZ and Kel-tec 32.

The advantage of a semi auto is the reload time using magazines as opposed to strips to reload. I only have a couple hundred rounds through my little Kel-tec but it is reliable. And the CZ 32 is 100% after around 250 rounds through it. With the new extreme cavitation 32 acp rounds I do not feel under gunned for concealed carry.

The recoil with the 22 magnums, and the 32 ACP pieces is near nothing though the sound is first rate.
