Does anyone here shoot .32 NAA?

I ended up with a box of Corbon ammo for the curious .32 NAA, let me know if you can use it.
For that matter, I have a full box of .25 ACP, 50 rounds of Winchester (I think). Anyone need that?
Yours for the price of shipping…..

No 32 NAA here but...

I always hoped the cartridge would lead to improved 32 caliber bullets (maybe it did?). But, it never seemed to catch on.
And then, secretly, I hoped they would take the design to the 25 caliber---with improved bullets for that as well. Hey, it's my world; they know me there.
Hope springs eternal! (nt)

Hoot, I think they did?

The .32 NAA is simply the .380 ACP case necked down to .32, but I am fairly certain they also necked down the .32 ACP to .25!
I’m wrong more often these days, but that one seems to stick in my head.

You sparked a very dim memory...

I'll have to remember to look.

I didn’t want to say I was certain, but the thought sure tickled my brain pan…..

there was about a case of 22 TCM sitting at the local Farm and Ranch Supply, the only ammo on the shelf. Was tempted to go out and try to find something to shoot it out of, "just because". Seems you need a 32 NAA for the same reason. You've got the ammo, now you need the pistol!
On the 25 ACP, I've been looking for one for years, but never came across one I could afford or that looked like it was worth the investment. I STILL want a Single Six rechambered and rebarreled to 25 ACP...
The Single Six would sure be cool.

I spoke with Matt G-something (from Bobby Tyler's shop) about that a CSA or two ago.
The Single Six would sure be cool.
