Ah so you are a classy dude lol. I love those grips with the stainless.It's not my main EDC; but, it still serves in the rotation.
So it’s funny but I never wanted 32 because 380 was so easy to find. Now it’s just as hard to find 380 as it is 32 so it might be a good time for me to switch over.Personally I chose a .32ACP over the .380ACP. After reading several papers published in a medical journal by the then corner of NY City. He wrote how much more damage for size the .32ACP done over larger caliber guns. He stated how the .32 acted a lot like a overgrown .22 with a lot more power. It bounced around in the body cavity doing major damage while most any other round either passed through or stopped with low penetration not reaching major organs. Most of the persons blead out before medical help caused by a major blood vessel cut wit the bullet.
I've been a Walther fanboy for all my life. My EDC since my early 20s was a .32 Walther PP. With 9 rounds of Winchester Silver tip, I never felt under armed. I swapped the PP for the Stainless PPK in 2003.Ah so you are a classy dude lol. I love those grips with the stainless.
I’ve been looking into the max since I read this. You have definitely peaked my interest. What kind of holster do you run with it?I liked my original LCP; carried it for years. Then I upgraded to the LCP II and liked it even more...better trigger, last round hold open, and just shot it better. Then after reading reviews, and waiting almost 10 months to see how it was received, I traded in the LCP II for the LCP MAX...wow! Larger capacity, better grip, better sights, and just shoots better than the previous gens. Have shot hundreds of rounds and never had a gun or magazine malfunction. I carry it everyday and it just disappears in my pocket with another 12-round mag in my other pocket for a combined 25 rounds of self defense ammo...it's a great super concealable pistol!
^^^^this...Years ago I read, I believe, the same report, about the .32 being very effective, I traded an LCP for a P 32, have had it for years, then found another at a pawn shop...now I have 2....I know the whole "stopping power" thing, but another factor is that people don't want to "leak"..a .32 will cause "leaks" as will most guns......at this point I'm just invested in .32 ACP....Personally I chose a .32ACP over the .380ACP.

32 ACP VS. 380 ACP | What Caliber Is Better for You?
A side by side look at the 32 ACP vs 380 ACP calibers. We compare the caliber's powder, shootability and test to see what is a better self-defense round.www.ammoforsale.com
This report made good points for both. Now i went from looking at 3 guns to like 8 haha. I may consider switching to .32.
I run the Ruger pocket holster that came with the pistol. I've been carrying it 10 months now almost every single day and it continues to hold it's shape and stay put in my right front pocket when I draw the MAX. I figured I'd try the one provided first and see how it did. So far so good. Good luck Ed on your search and decision.I’ve been looking into the max since I read this.
