Product Overview
Winchester Silvertip .32 ACP 60gr JHP is a defensive load that carries the Silvertip name Winchester has used since the 1970s. The 60-grain hollow point runs at 970 fps with 125 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. This is a moderate load that balances expansion potential with reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols.
The Silvertip jacket is designed to aid expansion while controlling penetration. In .32 ACP, this means the bullet should open up enough to create a larger wound channel without over-penetrating. This load works in pocket pistols like the Kel-Tec P32, Beretta Tomcat, or vintage designs still in regular use.
Winchester ammunition is widely available at sporting goods stores, which matters when you need to find .32 ACP on short notice. The Silvertip gives .32 ACP carriers a credible defensive option from a manufacturer with broad distribution. Test a box in your pistol to confirm feeding before loading it for carry.
