The history of the .32 Automatic Colt Pistol is a rich one, filled with ups and downs, assassinations, suicides, and even iconic heroes. Its beginnings date back to 1899, when John Browning created his first successful commercial automatic pistol, and its legacy continues through today with most American and all European ammunition companies still manufacturing rounds in .32 caliber ammunition.

Handguns represent the largest percentage of firearms sold annually, followed by rifles, but according to a National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW) report released last month, shotgun sales are claiming more market share. In 2019, the last complete year before the pandemic and social unrest suspended normalcy, 8.5 percent of the National Instant Criminal Background System Checks conducted by the FBI were related to the sale of a shotgun. During the first nine months of 2022, by comparison, that figure was up to 9.7 percent.

I recently wrote a review of the CMMG Banshee, and I was very impressed with nearly everything about it. I decided I wanted to try another gun from CMMG and reached out to see if I could get my hands on one of their Dissent pistols. After some waiting, I was happy to see the little CMMG box show up at my desk. |

The first thing that jumps out at you about the Glock 36 is its size. This is a subcompact we are talking about here � a �baby� Glock that has a bite. If you are looking for a pistol with a large magazine and many rounds, look elsewhere. But if you need a sidearm that is easy to conceal for self-defense, you may want to examine the Glock 36 closer. Glock was attempting to get a subcompact into the hands of any user and the manufacturer wanted the best ergonomics it could create. |
