Also if you are a revolver fan I would highly recommend the .32H&R mag. as a lower recoil personal defense pistol. My fiancee loves her Ruger SP-101 with a 3inch barrel. You can load it with the mild federal loads or the hot stuff and it is still pretty mild. I also have more faith in this round then I did my .380acp or my .32acp. I would put it right up with .38special standard pressure imo. I wouldn't think twice about carrying her .32H&R over my snub .38 special smith! Very under appreciated round for people who need low recoil!

Pfgrone- As a .32acp owner (kel tec) I have tried several different ammo brands. The S&B you mentioned is the hottest one I know other then the buffalo bore hard cast. I run the Fiocchi 73 grain round in mine. It is still a hotter round but not as hot as the S&B and BB. I have shot over 500 rounds through my Kel tec with no problems. On a side note I wouldn't be to worried about ft lbs of energy with a .32acp. Just penetration and shot placement. 22lr would also be a good option if you need to move down but imo the .32acp still does better then then the .22lr simply for the added bullet diameter being that penetration of both rounds can exceed 12inches in hardball. Just my two cents but a 22lr is better then a rock!
