Yup Like my 30-1 32 SW long

Here's mine.

There's a pretty clean one here on zidaho.com https://www.zidaho.com/category/312...th-and-wesson-model-31-1-in-32-long.html I have no idea if that price is good or not. I have no dog in this fight. Just noticed it.

Just a few years ago, this was the last category of classic S&W revolver that could still be had for a song in really nice condition. This was because the caliber turned most buyers off, so sellers had to ask very low prices to move them. I guess those days are over, if that ad is any indication.

Nice, I never did buy that little banger, copper bud and me haven't spoke about it since.

It's hard to know where people get the price they ask for things. Personally I wouldn't buy it if it were $250 unless I could sell it. I have no use for a 32long. If I need to use a handgun, I like bigger calibers. i want to make 2 holes not 1. Quicker the target bleeds out the better.

Yeah, they're mainly bought as collectables that you can actually take out and shoot. Ballistic bobbles, as they say.

But it's funny, because .32 caliber handguns in that power range were, not all that long ago, considered standard police guns throughout Europe, and not much longer ago they were considered that in the US, too. In Europe, it was the .32 ACP, and in the US the .32 S&W Long.

The 32s work great and make two holes in stuff like grouse, rabbits, and turkeys if you’re like me and feel the need to shoot something with every gun you buy. Thinking I may have to shoot a deer or some pigs with my 32. Of course it’s a “Magnum” so I’m sure it’ll be fine.
I’ve got a rough nickel I frame that I need to find a hand for someday too. Guy gave it to me so the price was right

LOL, good shooting Kid.

Wow,
some one dug into a older thread.

These reserrections always remind me of those who don't post anymore.
Or, in some cases, the change in tone of their posts.
