anyone ever fire 25acp 32acp?

[Urban]

Im sure many of you have shot 25acp or 32acp.
Not me tho... I was just wondering how is the recoil on these type of guns?
What can you compare it too?
would the 25ACP be like a 22?

shot .32 ACP in a Davis derringer and it bit - but in a pocket semi no big deal, like a light .38 ppc load in push strength but a bit snappier

.32 ACP Savage 1907

A 1907 Savage has bit of snap but is easily controlled. It was originally marketed as a lady's gun.
My Beretta 950B in .22 short is on the same frame as .25ACP and the recoil is light.

I find both very mild, recoil is not an issue with either of these rounds.

I have fired a .25 prohib handgun. Fantastic! I thought that the ammo would be hard to get since they are prohib but evidently it is pretty easy to come by. The pistol had no kick and was generally a nice little peace to shoot.

I know that some target shooting pistols are in these calibers also, albeit rare.

I have a bunch of them, they are fun

My .32 PPK is fun to shoot.

My first gun was a .32 PPK, lovely but expensive to shoot. Quite accurate too. I was 19 then, now that I'm 40 I'm not responsible enough to own one.

"...are in these calibers..." .32 calibre target pistols are chambered in .32 S&W, not ACP. None are chambered in .25 ACP. .32 S&W target pistols aren't rare either. Expensive, but not rare.

32 acp is fun and lite recoil.

I had a bad mishap with some bad 25 acps in a pocket Colt and got rid of it. A std 22 rim fire is better than a 25 acp.

SUNRAY;
Hate to mention this BUT there were several European target pistols chambered in .32acp.... Beretta had one, Unique made another, you still see them made by MAB, we had one a few months ago. BTW none I have ever fired were very accurate with factory ammo....

Years ago I had a MAB in .25acp, 8inch barrel with target sights, very accurate, bit of a weird handgun....

Have several S&W and Colts in .32long, now with handloads they are fun and very accurate indeed.

Now I am dating myself....
