Mackay…I appreciate your reply and as always I appreciate your posts.

All my best.

Thanks hardway!


Maybe whacking the bottom off the wraparound they do sell might not be that challenging come to think of it.

Maybe some ammo manufacturers will start making 32 HR mag ammo. I haven’t seen a box of it on a shelf in a lgs in probably 10 years. I picked up several boxes a year or so ago and it went for bank. Always sucks to buy a new gun and not find any ammo to shoot it.

Yep,

I initially dismissed them as being just plain ugly. Plus a revolver that is partly built of polymer just had zero appeal to me. But after I got my hands on one, I have to say, it really grew on me. It will never win any beauty contests, but there is a very practical nature to it. Sort of like a Glock. The .32 H&R in the one I have is like shooting a .22 mag.

This 432 UC however is a dang fine looking gun.

Nice Mackay and great report as usual!

I’ll be finally buying another 32 revolver this year when Ruger finally releases there long awaited (nearly 10 years) LCR Revolver in 327 Fed Mag with the 3” barrel and adjustable sights.
Won’t really be a “pocket gun” with the 3” barrel, but I think it will be the perfect little “kit gun”.

If I was looking for a pocket revolver, I think your new choice would be hard to beat.

Anyhow, since 32 factory ammo is hard to come by these days, and I don’t want to start loading for another caliber, your new Wadcutter offering should be just about the perfect plinking / varmint load, IMO.
I’ll be ordering some of your highly recommended Ammo, as soon as I can find one of the new Rugers.

Congratulations on the new S&W 32 ! Looks to be a fine little revolver with a lot of great features.

Maybe one of these day you can offer an “Outdoorsman” type hard cast load in .327 Federal Magnum to your fine lineup.

They are finally releasing one this year with the 3” barrel and adjustable sights.
Ought to be the ultimate “kit gun” IMO.
I’ve been suggesting this very model to Ruger for YEARS.

I hate to burst any ones bubble but Smith had a Stainless J Frame 6 shot in 32 H&R Mag over 25 years ago. I have one.

Oder some from Mackay!

Sorry for the thread hijack. 😬

I took a couple of low light pics last night, which was harder than I thought with a cell phone. The camera was very slow to take the pic and it took a bunch of tries, trying to get it focused, as well as holding the gun still while doing so.







The sight is Very bright in low light.

Sometimes.

A lot of interest in the .32 H&R as of late. Why is that? I don't believe its a new caliber?


Oops, didn't realize I was reading page three. When back and read first two pages. Interesting gun. I have a PD351 (.22mag) with that grip style; very nice grip for a person that has big, fat hands, like me.

I think people have just discovered that it is pretty practical in terms of recoil and capacity. Plus there are more and more manufacturers that are supporting it, in spite of what the Campfire complainers are saying.

The H&R 32 mag has been around a long time. I think it came out when everybody was into big stuff and many still are.

Ogives also.

A full 32 wadcutter doesn't rely on a round or coned shape to feed or the iffy proposition it may or may not open up.

A few bunnies or some prairie dogs will illustrate the comparison weighed on paper is deceiving.

The 32 load, like Mackay stated, penetrates. Because of this, it also maintains its velocity as distance increases, since its not as wide as it is long.

I found it interesting that, on the promotional flyer, Lipsey's mentioned the loads and distances the sights are regulated for.

my old 442 does not have the round count that Ted's does, but I like it and carry it often. I don't believe I will bother to get one of the new Smiths though, certainly not in the smaller caliber.

Yes though I recall the 632 , which I think you refer to, is chambered in the 327 federal , of course one can shoot 32’s in. Bought one for my wife, I carry it more than she. I like those J frames , have several in 22 through 357 mag.

You ole farts are behind the times!

Move up into the 21st Century.......Sig P365!

Got one of those to buddy, old fart at 85, maybe

Yep, priced one lately? They only made 190 in 2”.
