These days, it can just as easily be 32ACP, another one of Browning’s creations. But the older, high quality pistols like this Beretta or the 1910 Mauser have the advantage of great triggers and minimal recoil. 22LR can also work, especially if of a reliable brand like CCI. In a 2 inch barrel, 40gr 22LR produces 850-880fps while 25ACP comes out nearly 100fps slower for which the heavier 50gr jacketed bullet compensates somewhat. Ignition and feed reliability are with 25ACP, but the differences are minor.
