.32 used to be used in the Olympics but is no longer. Though .32 is still used by the ISSF.

The problem is that 32 has been on the prohib list for a long time so it's difficult to get into shooting that calibre. You essentially are limited to applying for permission to buy a 22LR pistol.

32 S&W olympic pistols are excluded from the prohibited list,
but it's going to cost a boatload of money

A Walther GSP with both 22 LR and 32 S&W uppers will cost in the neighbourhood of $6k
