Thank you for buying our product In examining American handgun produc!ion figures for the 19~0's

and early 1980's we noted .32ACP pistols were dramatically underrepresented m the figures. ProductIon

of .25ACP pistols has been on the order of 100 to 1 against .32ACP pistol production although the .32

round is unquestionably the far superior defensive round. In guns of identical barrel length the .32

cartridge generates substantially more foot pounds in energy. Additionally. it produces a 64% larg~r.and

more damaging hole -

yet .25ACP has been a hot seller whereas .32ACP sales have been neghglble.

Weapons chambered for either caliber. moreover. are primarily used for defensive purposes and the

disparity in production/sales cannot be attributed to a difference in intended usages. The only

reasonable explanation for the lack of a .32 following is that no pistol of recent vintage has been

manufactured for which .32ACP is the primary intended cartridge. Every design available to the .32 is

also available in .380, and the .32 has become a caliber in search of a gun. It is a good defensive round-

far superior to .25ACP or .22LR in short barrelled guns

yet it is not quite potent enough to compete with

.380 when both come packaged for identically sized weapons. It is our intent, with the LWS .32. to help

reestablish the .32 as a legitimate round in the defense arsenal - which move we feel has been long

overdue.

There is a tendency for those of us who work in the gun trade as instructors, designers, or providers of

specialized services to develop a tunnel vision philosophy on what constitutes a good defense gun. The

longer we are involved with guns, the greater becomes our inclination to attach ourselves to a set of

criteria so narrow that few guns qualify for respectability. Often, the gun praised most for its defense

capability'is the one seldom within reach, and the practical reality is ignored that a weapon has no

defense value at all if it is not there when needed. It matters little whether a gun inaccessible to us at a

moment of need is a BB gun or a cannon. Sales slips and proof of ownership are not defensive weapons.

And how many of us have the body structure, occupation, and dressing habits that allow us to make a

large caliber handgun our constant companion? Even the top of the line professionals we know have

occasion to be grateful for an ultra compact pistol as a backup, or as a round the clock companion not

prevented from tagging along on trips to the beach or those occasions where a large gun is simply

impractical to carry.

In those States where concealed carry by civilians is permitted, the push for legislation against small handguns is patently sexist since concealability is defined in individual terms of body size and normal dress habits. Were such legislation to pass, women would effectively be denied their right to an equal protection of the laws.

WARNINGS: 1. A gun is as safe or dangerous as the person who controls its use. Learn about your gun, its maintenance, and the rules of safe gun conduct. And above all, maintain control overyourgun. Make it yours. The more people you tell about your gun, the less valuable it becomes to you as a defense tool and the more dangerous it is to your own safety. If there is no reason for you to tell someone you own a gun for self defense, then there is every good reason for you to keep that fact to yourself.

6. Maintain control over your gun even when it is not immediately under your personal supervision. Reduce the possibility of unauthorized access by storing guns and ammunition separately, preferably under lock and key, but securely out of the reach of children. In the case of the Seecamp .32 pistol,.
