Actually I think IвЂ™ve heard of Chinese made cases with the Winchester headstamp.

BROWNING 32 AUTO CODE

If you knew the code you could say oh Winchester made that. So Winchester, Remington, Federal & other companies made brass that said CCI or SPEER on the headstamp. CCI / Speer had/has a code of dots & dashes for other makers brass made with their name on it. Perhaps IвЂ™m not really answering your question?ДЄs to Winchester production (or almost any brand name) a current rule of thumb is everyone makes everyone elseвЂ™s cases. The same on the other end for the weapons themselves from maker to maker. In the past I donвЂ™t think there were such strict and detailed standards so makers had more tolerances in setting-up the machinery to cut extraction grooves, under-rim cuts, & rim profiles and all the other things that make a round function. SAAMI (here) & CIP (across the pond) are in play with ammunition manufacturers at the moment. IвЂ™ve got a thorny forensics question that this pertains to. 32 ACP cases with these larger extractor grooves?ДЄre there guns which actually work better with the scant extractor grooves seen commonly on US-made cases? What US manufacturers, particularly prior to 1990, made. The better solution is to use cartridges with the larger-pattern extractor grooves.Дo we have two standards here? Is there in fact a US standard case and a european standard case?Дid Winchester always make their cases like the european cases, or are they in fact simply now using european manufactured cases? One is to short-load the magazine to fire only the number of rounds of a particular US-type the weapon can reliably cycle. There are a couple of solutions IвЂ™ve found. This gap creates an additive error, which after a certain number of cartridges, will create a failure to adequately support the top cartridge in the magazine while it is being fed, causing feed jams. As a consequence, a tiny gap is formed between the web areas of the straight walled bodies. 32 ACP cases fail to fully nest their semi-rimmed вЂњover-diameterвЂќ fraction of their rims within the extractor groove of the underlying case. What happens, to the best of my ability to determine, is that most US manufactured. Later, I found the same bias in other european pistols, including the Hungarian PA-63, Spanish вЂњRuby,вЂќ and FN/BrowningвЂ™s FN 1900. I first encountered this when a friendвЂ™s Nazi proofed Walther PPK demonstrated an intolerance for every US load except WinchesterвЂ™s, and any/all european-manufactured loads. Many men-and women, too- have done quite well when not as well armed.After a lot of head scratching, some years ago now, I figured out that some manufactures produce 7.65 Browning cases with significantly different extractor groove geometry than others, and that this has a strong effect on reliability of many pistols chambered for this cartridge. Don't be discouraged that you can't afford a 'more suitable' pistol. In doing this drill, grab the slide, pull it ALL THE WAY to the rear, and LET IT GO! This is a very reliable little pistol, when used as JMB designed it-Never 'ride the slide,' or try to ease it forward.Д«etter times are coming. Forget stealth-If you MUST draw it, let everyone know you're ready to do battle! But have your mind made up that you WILL shoot if need be. Practice drawing and operating the slide, all in one motion. If I was in your situation, I think I'd test it carefully with FMJ and hollow point ammo, and then carry it with the chamber empty. While it is accurate enough to hit a man at 50 yards, it requires careful aiming, and the tiny sights are very slow. Again, as Jim said, the thumb safety is a bit small, as are the sights. 32 pocket pistols, and the grip safety measurably adds to the safety, carrying fully loaded. I carried the younger, bigger, brother, the 1926 model FN Browning for a couple of years, alternating between chamber empty and fully loaded, and never had any trouble. If it is in good shape, and you don't carry it constantly, it will probably serve. The striker spring CAN take a set if left compressed for long periods, and can let you down at a bad time. But that's not your question, huh?ДЄll that Jim Keenan said is true- The striker-fired pistols are a little scary for loaded and locked carry. Yeah, buddy-You REALLY should buy a bigger, more powerful pistol for four times the money.
