They can be a little bit of a handful in .380 There is a certain amount of bite to the recoil. Maybe the blowback design and the shape of the handle.... Thoughts? Regardless, I agree about shooting them in .32 they are an absolute joy. Shame about how anemic the caliber is. Still beats a stick in a fight though. I have heard discussions about using ball ammo rather than hollow-point rounds. The theory was that the round could penetrate or expand, but not both. Any opinions?

absolutely! They were all made to shoot ball. I qualified with a .32 colt. My instructor busted my balls about it, saying "never show up with a gun that don't start with a 4," but after he realized I could really shoot it, he backed off. I used to tell him " I got 8 shots, if that don't stop him I'll just throw the gun and run." I tell customers that shoot .380 to shoot ball as well, Better penetration. Absolutely. Especially in a cold climate where you have multiple layers of clothing to go through. You should be shooting ball in your PPK/S as well. I like .38 special as well in a wheel gun.
