In reply to Dude. The weight your talking about on your pistol, you could get a Ruger LCP Max (.380) that holds 12+1 for 15 ounces total weight loaded and then there is no need to carry a back up mag.

I have a P32, and if you study ballistic gel tests, there is ONE hollow point that feeds reliably AND gets to proper penetration at 11 to 13 inches. That’s the Hornady XTP. There are a few channels on YouTube that show the ballistics gel tests on these. They expand and reach proper penetration. I personally have put 150 rounds of the XTPs through my P32 and never had a problem.

I’d be much more interested in the Model 432 UC if it came in .327 fed magnum. Recoil isn’t an issue with my pocket .380 that weighs about 13 oz. With MagGuts, it holds 8+1. It’s light enough to forget that you’re carrying it. Add a spare mag, and you have 17 rounds of .380 that’s light and super easy to conceal.
