Agreed. overreach by the writer.
All of these cartridges will continue to have their own cult following, even the .25 auto.
The .32 magnum is as close to perfect as a J-frame size revolver can get.
The .41 magnum is the handgunning world's 16 gauge.
The .40 S&W will be this century's .38 Super.
As long as there's a market for a pocket handgun that weighs under seven ounces, (P-32) there will be a place for the .32 auto.
Overreach by the writer, indeed. One might say pulling it out of uh, somewhere.
