The Model 81 is seldom seen in this country. It was realized early on that a 13-shot .32, generating 125 foot pounds of energy per shot with 60-grain Silvertip jacketed hollow-points and 129 foot-pounds per shot with 71-grain full-metal-jacket ammo, would not sell well to Americans when for the same price they could get the identical gun as a 14-shot .380 generating 189 foot-pounds with 85-grain Silvertip JHP and 211 foot-pounds with 95-grain FMJ.
