Despite popular belief, the 25 NAA cartridge is not based on the 32 ACP case. It is based on a rimless version of the .32 H&R case, shortened to .745" and necked down to accept .251-inch diameter bullets. The 32 ACP case, at only .680" long, is too short for use in 25 NAA production.
The .32 Magnum was designed to more than double the speed and energy of the less powerful .32 Smith & Wesson Long cartridge, on which it is based. Loadings for the .32 H&R Magnum even typically exceed hot .38 Special +P loads in terms of both speed and energy. The .32 Magnum also has a higher maximum pressure than the .38 Special. [3]
Although the .32 Long Colt and .32 S&W Long appear to be similar, the two are not interchangeable due to the case and neck diameter being much narrower on the .32 Long Colt. More popular in Europe than North America, Colt was the most prominent American manufacturer which chambered any weapons in .32 Long Colt, [2] most notably the Police Positive.
