There are several DIFFERENT .32 caliber cartridges. The .32 bullet is smaller in diameter than a .380. SOME .32 cartridges are longer, and have more power, such as the .327 magnum. And some .32 pistols are smaller than some .380 pistols, and vice versa. The caliber has nothing to do with the size of the gun.
Can I shoot 380acp caliber out of my 32 pistol?
Yes. The .327 Magnum is one of the FEW exceptions to the "do not try this rule". It can fire .327 mag, .32 H&R Mag, .32 Long, and .32 S&W.
The .327 Federal magnum case is 1/8 inch longer and has a chamber pressure of @45,000 psi. The 32 H&R magnum has a chamber pressure of @ 20,000 psi You can shoot .32 H&R magnums in a gun chambered for .327 Federal magnums - but not vice versa
There is no such thing as a 22 magnum caliber. There is a 22 caliber, which means that the diameter of the gun barrel is 22/100 of an inch in diameter. The magnum has to do with the powder load in the shell holding the bullet. It is slightly more powerful than the smaller size shell. A 32 caliber has a larger diameter barrel. With 32 caliber, you do not usually have much choice in the power of the shell. If you want to learn to shoot, it is a lot less expensive to shoot up a lot of 22 ammunition than 32 ammunition. If you want personal protection, a 22 is next to useless. A 32 is not much better. You need at least a 38. Better is relative. It depends on why you want a pistol.
Yes they are. One of the newer guns, in fact, is the .327 Magnum, which will ALSO fire the .32 Magnum, and the .32 S&W cartridge.
No. Shoot only the caliber printed on the barrel.
No
The .32 Magnum revolver can fire the .32 S&W revolver cartridge. It cannot safely fire other .32 cartridges, such as .32 ACP (auto) 32-20, 32 Winchester, etc etc.
