Don't think you would find much choice in Indian market. The one's available I've seen are S&B, Magtech and they go for 150+ per shots.

1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Many thanks Winnie and M24 for your inputs.

I am going with the rule- practise with the Indian Ammo and load two magazines of imported ammo whilst travelling.

However, I have noticed that my magazines have started getting spoiled and the imported ones are now getting stuck instead of the Indian.

What do you guys reckon? Buy seperate magazines too?

Spoiled how??

I know its a tedious process but remove the bullets from the extra magazine at the end of the day. Refill the empty one next day, put it in your pistol and do the same process with the other one. Your magazine springs get taken care of this way.

For what purpose?

Target shooting? Lapua Wadcutters.
SD? Pick what ever you want... it wont make too much of a difference. :cheers:

You are not likely to find wadcutter ammunition for a .32 ACP. It's not a caliber used for target practice; and semi-automatic pistols are finicky where bullet shape is concerned. Most of them have feeding problems with anything other than a round-nosed, jacketed bullet. And that's not what you want in an SD situation.
