I stopped in a gun store in Memphis when in Millington.they had several 32/20 spanish revolvers and all had the top strap broken.I bought a S&W 32/20 in NH with a chamber blown out.S&W would not touch it.I welded the strap on and welded the chamber shut and cut the notch on it and used 5 chambers.
32/20 were made for rifles with extra power and not for use in revolvers.but back then people just asked for 32/20 and never looked to see what they were used for.even smiths blew.
