No worries, a gun in the pocket is still better than a gun at home. Besides, the .32 ACP is what started World War I.

Right now I have CorBon JHP in it for carry and have some Power-Ball CorBons on the way. They are suppose to have better penetration through the clothing and spread once they hit the flesh... :phaser:

Hey all I got the new wood grips and now they are installed. They are so sweet on the gun and feel much better in the hand. Will have to see how they feel when I shoot it next.

It wasn't hard to do, but you do need to be aware of the safeties spring and plunger catch that will want to fly out into never never land. I also painted the back of the front sight with yellow paint.
