Though not one of today's more-popular cartridges for personal-defense use, the 32 Auto was a mainstay in military and personal-defense guns in the early decades of the 20th century and continues to be chambered in many popular pocket autos of today. Hornady offers improved loads for these guns in the form of its Critical Defense 32 Auto ammo. Every facet of the Hornady Critical Defense round is designed to aid in performance and preparation. Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion, aid in reliability and shine brightly, even in low light, helping with press-checking to ensure your gun is loaded.
- Bullet weight: 60 grains
- Muzzle velocity: 1,000 fps

Hornady Critical Defense rounds in 32 Auto are also topped with the company's FTX bullet, which are designed to expand reliably, even after penetrating through layers of heavy clothing.
