Sigh.....
The .32 acp does not headspace on the case mouth. And .32 acp is a much higher pressure cartridge than .32 S&W long. |

I wish I could find a Heritage .32 Mag for sale. I passed on one years ago at a gun show for $179.00. Instead I bought a .357 Taurus Gaucho. Even though I am happy with my Taurus I wish I would have bought the Heritage. If you find one today they sell for almost double the price.

I have shot .32acp in my K.32 masterpiece,in my Charter Arms .327,ruger single six .32 HR mag and have had no trouble of any kind. I do not shoot it in a Hopkins and Allen I have. as it is a top break. I also have two old smithwesson revolvers in sw long that I have shot .32 sw long with no trouble. As long as you stay away guns were made for black powder I don’t believe you would have any trouble. I believe if .32acp were harming revolvers we would hear more about it. I think I would rather shoot .32acp in a good old revolver than shoot it in a new .32acp Kel-Tec.

32 H&R magnum is a higher pressure round than 32acp, so there is no safety issue. I have shot plenty of 32acp out of my old H&R revolver with no problems.
I don't shoot 32acp out of my 32 S&W revolvers because 32acp is a higher pressure round than 32 S&W. I have six 32 magnum revolvers: two will fire 32acp every time, two will fire some rounds but not others, two won't ignite them at all. I assume it has something to do with tiny differences in the legnths of their firing pins. |

^ OK. Green light, you're safe to try .32 ACP in it. Buy a few different brands, right now PPU .32 ACP is really cheap on sportsmansguide.com, so cheap I was thinking about picking up a box or two.
Give us a report on how it shoots when you're done.

As usual, people lying (eer exaggerating) to make a point. Or maybe 32 mag is on the pricy side- but; 327 federal is available locally at $30 per 50 and online first hit was $26 per 50
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/10...oint-box-of-50 Even near obsolete 32mag has plenty of hits from $36. More lies. With 327 running fairly strong these 32mags are mild to shooter. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/14...oint-box-of-50 |

I don't think anyone here is lying. $30 for 50 rounds is expensive. If I had to pay for ammo I wouldn't shoot much at all or very often. Thankfully I bought and supplied myself many years ago to the point I don't remember what it cost so to me ammo is free.
But I do feel for those buying or those just starting out in the shooting game. This is a high dollar sport now. |

I don't own the gun. Just checking if that round would work, "before" I buy one.

I have a few 327 Federal Magnum guns, and with the first one purchased at least one box of each of the cartridges which the gun was supposedly capable of firing. Three or four years later I still haven't thought of any reason to shoot up 32 S&W or 32 ACP. I did not use the 32 SWL because I have since bought a gun dedicated to that cartridge.
