Is it wise to use Indian .32ACP ammo in imported pistols?

Post by raj.chaudhuri » Sun Jun 05, 2011 4:56 pm

Hi friends,
I assume both .32'' and .32ACP are of same caliber. Please let me know if it is wise to use Indian Ordnance Factory produced .32'' ammunitions in imported .32ACP pistols? I mean quality wise, is it going to affect the pistol's reliability in the long run? Or is it going to damage the pistol if I use Indian ammo while shooting in a range? Your precious opinions are appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
Sincerely,
Raj Chaudhuri

may depend on pistol, some pistols have limitation for energy for example Beretta tomcat not more then 130 ft·lbf (176 J). but hardly any factory .32 amo can develop more then 130 ft·lbf.

Indian IOF .32 ACP, is not bad at all, to fire and practise at the range. start with 15 mtrs, and then 20 mtrs, and then 25 mtrs.

IOF .32 ACP does not spoil ur Pistol , or its macanism, but after every use, pls clean ur pistol nicely.

Always fallow safe procedures, while at the shooting range.

Happy shooting.

Enjoy...)))cheers
