.32 revolvers? - Page 3

"The the .367 Magnum trumped them all."

I bet it did! I have never seen a .367 Mag.....just kidding

Tallball, that is a fine looking Ruger you picked up there, hope she shoots as good as mine have, they always bring a smile to my face when I get to shoot them.

+1 on the good taste!

Also is that a camera trick or is your Taurus a lefty revolver?

Thank you Smee. It has obviously been shot a fair amount, but it locks up tight and shoots small groups. My daughter and I were able to put about 100 rounds through it yesterday and were pleased with the results. We shot S&W long, H&R magnum, and 32acp. I was pleased to see how well it shot the acp's - some of my 32 magnums will shoot them and some won't.

I always turn my pics around so they all face the same way.

If someone likes revolvers and doesn't own any 32's, they should think hard about getting one.

I have had a few NEF 32 H&R and been very satisfied with them. Then I happened to get a Dan Wesson revolver in 32 H&R. That gun was in a class all by it's self. Very accurate, high quality.

Of course, I don't own any guns now, they were all lost in the flood.

Have a few nice 38s and have the 32 bug

when the time comes, I will buy my daughter the LCR .327. she can practice with regular .32 Long and a few .32 H&R magnums all without having to take the abuse of the .327 magnum. worse case scenario is that she wants to keep it loaded with .32 Longs, but six of those are better than the eight .22lr she has now.

My dream is that NAA makes one of their tiny minis in either .32 SW long or even .32 HR magnum! Make it a five shooter, and small and light as possible. Would be far smaller than a J-frame, but with better stopping power than the .22 minis.

^^^^ this^^^^^^this^^^^^this^^^^^^

I have thought the same thing for a while. I even emailed NAA with that suggestion. No response.

Someday it will be done by someone and I think they will make a lot of money. Especially the way concealed carry guns are selling now days. I will certainly buy one.

It is well known that NAA had a prototype that looked terrible and didn't really work. Maybe they will revisit. Google it.

I have three revolvers in .32 and two autos in .32 ACP, I must like them. My one 431 is a great little .32 Magnum. (I do wish that it had a 3" barrel instead of 2").

All of them shoot very well.

I would like to buy a Rossi Model 89 in .32 S&W Long. You can have one of these stainless beauties at reasonable prices. They can be loaded to higher pressures than the older revolvers and press 900 fps with 98-100 grain SWCL. The 179.9 fpe will penetrate adequately for good "terminal performance" within the cartridge's capabilities.

it beats the daylights out of the .22 WMRF and possesses excellent inherent accuracy. Low recoil, good penetration and fine handling are the positive attributes of the round.

It shoudn't be overlooked.

You can load the later model swing out cylinder S&W revolvers to the same pressures. Thats what I said I was doing in my earlier post with my models 31-1 and 30-1 guns. These loads are not for break tops or I frame guns that do not have heat treated cylinders.

Still popular for Cowboy Action shooting.
