Pretty much the same as any other revolver or semi-auto.
There are several DIFFERENT .32 caliber cartridges. The .32 bullet is smaller in diameter than a .380. SOME .32 cartridges are longer, and have more power, such as the .327 magnum. And some .32 pistols are smaller than some .380 pistols, and vice versa. The caliber has nothing to do with the size of the gun.
Best left to a gunsmith. They were not the most "sturdy" pistols to begin with.
each maker has their own numbering/model/naming convention.
if we're talking pistols, then yes. This is completely normal and how your pistol is designed to operate. p.s. assault rifles have clips. Pistols have magazines.
A handgun. Some European pistols were .32 caliber, and would have been the smallest used, but many .22 caliber rifles were used in training.
32 caliber... "32 W.S." is the designation for the 32 caliber Winchester Special cartridge.
.32 caliber
The smallest, best known centerfire handgun round is the .25 caliber (or 6.35mm). The practicality of the .25cal is questionable: you have all of the costs of a centerfire round, with not much more energy than a .22LR rimfire. In fact, nowadays, you are much more likely to find .22LR pistols than a .25cal. One step up from the .25cal is the .32 caliber. This is just about as out-dated as the .25cal, but there were some very popular weapons in .32 caliber, the Walther PPK (James Bond's weapon of choice) is said to be a .32cal (not a .380ACP). There are also pistols made to shoot rifle (long gun) rounds. These tend to be smaller caliber than a .25 cal, but are fairly modern (like a pistol designed to fire .17cal HMR).
.32 caliber
.32 caliber. In a semi auto handgun, probably .32 ACP
The Lorcin .380 is the #1 contender on the BATFE's list for several years. Smaller "pocket pistols", such as the .22, .25, and .32 also tend to be popular.
9mm is roughly .35 caliber, .32 caliber is slightly smaller, 3 hundredths of an inch smaller, in diameter.
