32 acp handgun choice
Of these three models, SIG P230, Walther PPK, Mauser HSC, which would you choose? Why? I don't need to hear about Seecamp, or CZ 50-70, or that the 380 is more powerful, etc. I'm only interestd in these three models and this caliber.

PPK.
I have large hands and have fired all three, of of those 3 the PPK was the one I liked the best.

Just the gun I would recommend, in fact I just received the instruction manual direct from Colt. It shoots great and I would'nt trade it for anything.

I love my Walther pp32. It handles great, easy to take down and a joy to shoot. Its one of those guns that will forever remain in my "special gun" category.

I don't have an opinion on your three choices, but it looks like you're considering "larger frame" 32s--it's not on the list, but the CZ 83 would be an option I'd review.

Of the 3 you mentioned, I would opt for the Walther. Time tends to solidify the reputation and percieved quality of sidearms and the PP/PPK series has the advantage of time in both Civilian and Military hands. It's tough to argue the fact that of the 3, the Walther has been the most produced and copied by far! Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, look no further than the Carpati's, the Makarov, CZ's (50 and 70) etc. and you will see that this design was the progenitor of a long series of simplified ( read that to mean cheaper ) non licensed/licensed copies.
Having said that...I like the Colt Type III that I own over the early commercial PP one of my friends has. Personnal tastes, as I think JMB was really on his game with that design!!

could not help but put in my 2 cents worth BUT Remington P51 only way to fly just like airplane same model #. PPK unmached quailty but back of grip frame does not fit skinny hands. If you like german pistols you left out a great design in the SAUER 38H. 0 -
Of the three you listed I would pick the Sig. I have owned and shot all 3 and found that the Mauser has a crappy trigger and the hammer design leaves a lot to be desired. All the Walthers I have ever owned jammed and stovepiped except a .32 PP that I still have. The Sigs shoot well, have decent triggers and go bang every time. Hope this helps with your question.

Of the three you picked, the Remington Model 51 is your best choice. The second best is the 1903 Colt. 0
