32 shooting

Shooting my three 32s this afternoon. The K 32 is an amazing accurate revolver. The other two are great for packing along on a walk. I don't have to worry about many grizzlies on a walk in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas, so a 32 will handle all I am likely to come across. Fun guns and a great caliber. I know there are much hotter 32s out there, but the old 32 s&w works fine for my needs.
SHOT THESE SAME THREE MODELS THIS YEAR

PLUS MANY OTHERS WORKING ON A BOOK "SMALL BORE SIXGUNS, SEMI-AUTOS, AND SINGLE-SHOTS." PLEASE DON'T ASK WHEN IT WILL BE OUT!! I'M WAITING LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON "BOOK OF THE .45"; "DOUBLE ACTION SIXGUNS" IS BEING EDITED; AND THIS ONE WON'T BE FINISHED BY ME UNTIL FALL.
I had Hamilton Bowen build me a custom K32...

...using a K38 as a donor gun, and a rebored K22 barrel. It's a dual-cylinder, 32 WCF / 32 H&R Magnum. Very cool sixgun that shoots like a dream. My pal and brother Shootist Matt Olivier provided the base K38, and another dear Shootist friend, Terry Murbach, provided a vintage cylinder and barrel. I have a custom carved Mike Barranti rig that my pal and brother Shootist Mike Hutyra had Barranti make for it as a surprise, and a custom Barranti holster for the extra cylinder assembly. It is a very special sixgun.
That is exactly why I am sticking with the .357 these days..

It's not a .32 but the same logic. I still have a couple .44 Magnums and still hunt with them but other than that the .357 Magnum or same loaded with a .38 Special really gives all the power I need and at a much more economical cost to both my powder and lead stores. There was a time I wouldn't head out into the woods without a .44 Magnum or heavy loaded .45 Colt but these days I carry my 4" GP100 a lot of times when hunting with a rifle.
The .32 S&W Long is one of my favorite cartridges!

I carry one pretty much every fall when I go over to hunt with a buddy on the Olympic Peninsula for coastal blacktail deer. There are grouse over there and I need some way to defend myself!

With the dearth of 22lr ammo, my Ruger birds head .32 is filling in a lot for plinking purposes. Wheel weights, Lil'Gun and Sellior & Belloit primer loads are no more expensive than 22lr's if & when you can find any. The 32 has slowed the depletion of my 22 stockpile considerably over the past couple of years. And its just a fun little gun to shoot.
Hadn't thought of that!

Two of my favorite revolvers are a Ruger Bisley .32 H&R and a Ruger SP101 4 inch in the same caliber. I like this caliber so much that I had a Browning Lo-Wall rebored from .22 Hornet to .32 H&R to keep the two revolvers company. Now if only I could find one of the Marlin Model 1894s in .32 H&R.
VERY HARD TO FIND. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE SOMEONE

AT MARLIN FIND ONE FOR ME IN THE FACTORY BEFORE THEY CLOSED. THEN I FOIND A 2ND ONE IN THE CLASSFIED LOCALLY AND HAD MY 'SMITH CONVERT IT TO .327 FEDERAL.
VERY nice set of .32's there!

Never found a K-32 I wanted bad enough to cough up the entrance fee.

Thanks Hoot. I found that K32 at Steinberg's Sporting Goods in Baton Rouge LA back in the 1960s, It was used and it was cheap. I am glad I bought it when I did. A really enjoyable revolver.
