$350,.Bud's,..where else? I'm a man of simple pleasures. K frame .38's and I frame 32's are very nice simple pleasures. I'm afraid that my days of buying them for pocket change has come to an end, however.

The little I frame .32's from the 20's are my favorites. Very tiny little revolvers,..they feel toylike in your hand.
A J frame feels bulky compared to them.
I've got a couple of them that are very crisp. Obviously, they're not powerhouses, but you can get 950 fps out of a 100 grain double end wadcutter, which would seem to put them in at *least* the same category as .380 hardball.
,...fun little revolvers.
It's a shame that people have started asking so much money for them.
The most I've paid for an old .32 revolver is $300,..and that was for a very decent old Police Positive made in 1020.
The two I frame Smith .32's cost me $175 and $225.
Hard to find them in decent condition for that today.

Hard to find them in decent condition for that today. I owned a near-mint Police Positive briefly. It was just a cute little gun that I totally impulse-bought. Some other guy needed it worse than me.

This will sound strange, but I like the camo Pachmayers on the 686. I remember when they first came out. It was before I'd ever owned a 629. I thought they would just be the bee's knees on that particular gun for a "survival pistol". Throwback Thursday, I reckon.
