moving away from 9x18

so, ive decided im going to phase out 9x18 for most uses, my mak will still be my EDC until i can figure out where to go next and something else to carry, but a big reason is i want something thats naturally subsonic for a quieter report and suppressor friendly, my 9x18 loads are a 95 grain XTP at around 1200fps, if i decide to reduce pressures and go subsonics then i am well within the realm of a 380.. besides .355" suppressors are much easier to find than .363"

however, a .380 pushes a 90 grain bullet at 1050fps from a 4 inch barrel, a 32acp pushes an 85 grain bullet at about 1050 from a 4 inch barrel (.32 is higher pressured), so difference in muzzle energy between the two is negligible.. the 32acp also achieves this with 0.5-1 grain less powder per round and can be fired from my AKs and mosins with chamber adapters.. so i will probably go all in as .32acp doubling as both a small game hunting round and deeper level EDC/CCW

i want to see if i can find a 32 cal CZ-83
