I love my little .32 because it is so easy to carry...but I wouldn't want to have to square off with a shotgun.
A .32 in the hand beats a .45 in the drawer back home because it’s too big to carry. I don’t know anyone volunteering to be gut-shot with a .32 ... I’m fortunate in that I found a reliable, compact 9mm that I can carry all day, and that I could afford to buy.
