..that I bought TWO. From everything I've read, the .32 H&R mag is stronger than a regular, non +P .38 special. It seems to be 16%-18% LESS strong than a .38 special +P.
I have a 17 ounce Taurus 731UL (ported) and a 11.9 ounce S&W 331. (looks like a Chief's Special revolver) They both hold six rounds and the recoil of the S&W is a little less than an all steel, .38 special model 36. The slightly heavier, ported Taurus has very little recoil. Both are pretty plesant shooters. I carry one or the other every day. I find either VERY easy to conceal. Oh, I almost forgot. While there aren't as many choices of ammunition as with a .38 special, I've had no trouble finding Federal JHP or lead wadcutters. Georgia Arms offers some newly made JHP also. (Seems to be at a great price too!)
