Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 32 S&W long caliber

Hi
The .32 S&W Long has always been a soft spot with Me ! That said I equipped my whole family with them. I used to carry a Pre-30 snub. I searched & Searched for one in Nickel to no avail so I bought a finish challenged Blued model and sent it to Ford's Refinishing in Florida and had them Hard Chrome plate it. That Gun rode in my Pocket for Five years before I gave it to Our Daughter as her Nightstand gun as her wedding Present. I Then replaced it with a N.I.B. Model 431 P.D. Chambered in .32 H&R Magnum. I later was at a Local Gun auction and came across a Nice Blued Pre-30 Five screw model with a 3" Barrel and bought it for $135.00 as it is shown below. I Gave that One to my Son In law the very next day after buying it, so both of my Kid's have I-Frame .32 Long caliber S&W's now. Last weekend I was at a Local gun show and spotted a model 30-1. The dash one designates the design change to make the revolver frame a J-Frame. Nickel Model 30's are a Very hard find so I found myself coming home with it. I gave it to my wife so now she has a S&W revolver chambered in .32 Long to carry. And so it goes the whole family is armed with S&W revolvers now chambered in .32 S&W Long shown below... TheGeneral.
