Hollow Point

.32 hollow point ammunition is one of the most popular self-defense loads available to civilian gun owners, in any caliber. The 32 ACP is an already small round and but with hollow point ammunition the round is capable of opening and spreading into a much larger overall bullet. When hollow point ammunition strikes a soft target the round expands and becomes larger, creating a larger wound. The 32 auto hollow point (HP or JHP) aids in making the small round more effective by increasing it’s size and the damage it does to a target. Hollow point ammunition is being made by a variety of manufacturers these days and has been made more and more capable with its rise in popularity. Look for 32 hollow points for sale below from a number of trusted domestic and international manufacturers.

More About 32 ACP Ammo

Is the .32 Auto the Same as the .32 ACP?

Yes. These are simply two names for the same cartridge. Although it is often called the .32 Auto, the official name in America for the round is “.32 ACP,” which stands for Automatic Colt Pistol. This designation simply means that the bullet was designed by Colt’s Manufacturing Company and was intended specifically for their semi-automatic handguns. Other rounds, such as the .25 ACP and .45 ACP share that "ACP" surname.

Can You Shoot .32 Auto in a Firearm Made for .32 S&W?

The .32 S&W Long, sometimes the .32 Long (but should not be mistaken for the older .32 S&W), is a distinct cartridge that was made by Smith & Wesson. Although they share some of the same dimensions, they have a few different measurements, including differences in the rim thickness and rim diameter. While some claim they can be interchangeable, you’ll want to check with your firearms manufacturer or an expert to make certain .32 Auto rounds can be safely fired in a gun made for .32 S&W ammo.

What Types of Firearms Shoot the .32 ACP?

While there are revolvers that can shoot the .32 ACP, the majority of these cartridges are used in pistols. As the “ACP” suggests, the bullet was developed for semi-automatic, self-loading pistols.

How Does the .32 ACP Compare to the .380 ACP?

Although the .32 ACP is sometime belittled as a weakling, these are two capable rounds that deliver reliable self defense. .380 ACP ammo, however, generally has stronger velocity and muzzle energy, giving it a clear advantage in stopping power. The .32 ACP remains a reliable cartridge for people who want a smaller, manageable, and more compact weapon.

Is the .32 Auto Strong Enough for Personal Defense?

Yes. Although many people will recommend a larger caliber, such as the .40 S&W or .357 Magnum for personal protection, the .32 Auto is perfectly capable of providing reliable performance when you need it. This cartridge delivers muzzle velocities around 1,000 feet per second, depending on the product, so you can certainly expect quality penetration on your target. Although the muzzle energy remains under 200 foot pounds, it’s still a perfectly capable self-defense cartridge for the right person. If choosing the .32 Auto for self defense, you will want an expanding round that delivers a wider wound channel and less over-penetration; this means you’ll likely want a jacketed hollow point or a soft nose round.
