new pocket pistol caliber question

[KingTuna]

I have looked at the 327 magnums, and that's a interesting round. I'm talking about a round designed for use in semi autos, with more punch than a 380 but less recoil than a 9mm. I mean, I love my little LCP II but I don't really like carrying it in the dead of winter when people are wearing thick jackets and more clothes.

Liberty ammo, Civil Defense, 60 grain 9mm at 2000 fps from a 4" barrel,
380 is every bit as bad,

Why couldn't you take a 300 blackout case and cut it down more, use a 65 grain .30 caliber bullet, and push it out of the barrel at around 1000 fps or so? Wouldn't something like this have more energy than a 380 with similar recoil?

Like a toned down 7.62x25?

357 sig?

32 NAA is one I wish someone would make a G42 conversion barrel for.

Talking about ideas for a new cartridge, A beefed up 32 ACP lengthen to 327 Fed case capacity would be an absolute beast in terms of muzzle energy, mag capacity, etc. however it wouldn’t be optimal in a pocket rocket.

327 Federal mag, 32 H&R mag. Much more recoil than 380. Allows for 6 rounds in conceal revolver instead of 5 in 357. However not as popular and ammo is expensive compared to 38 special

The 32 H&R Magnum was kinda cool. And you could get a clunky looking but very solid built NEF snub revolver chambered in it way back when.
Remember when Ruger had a Blackhawk chambered in 30 Carbine? That was pretty cool.

I love the 32 H&R. Problem is bullet selection for self defense is very limited. Only ones I know of are the Hornady CD and Federal self defense. If you wanna go to range and shoot all day 32 H&R is hard to beat.

I carry a .32 S&W on occasion. Original I frame, 6 shots. Very handy little gun.

Everyone pooh-poohs it, but no one wants to get shot by it.

Sounds like the 40
