Technically, it is 7.65×17mm. Better known as .32 ACP cartridge.
Instead of spending so much on an old imported pistol, I would suggest buying an IOF pistol and have it worked on by a capable gunsmith. You can search on this forum about members' pistols that have been refined and refinished. Good luck.

Agree with what DSingh posted. Check the Sheik Brothers' pistol. Contact them to see if a prototype or a demo pistol is available to try.

As Vikram mentions, the bullet diameter in millimeters is supposed to be 7.65.
The .32 comes from it being 0.32 of an inch. However, the actual diameter is .3125 in (7.9375 mm)
The ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol.
Hang around guns long enough and you'll get used to all kinds of inconsistencies.
