My mother is 74, she lives alone and her wrists can't hold up to a .38 special anymore. I got her a snub nose .32 s&w long and she loves it, no recoil fear at all. The only problem was the 100gr round nose stuff was lackluster in the penetration department. This ammo filled that void. If you have to use this small caliber for defense go ahead and buy a box of these, it's the best chance this caliber has at penetration for folks that don't handload their own ammo. -
