Pair of Marlin 1889's in 32-20, one 26" and one 28". Both have been relined due to pitted chambers and bores:

Then there are the two OM Ruger 30C's with 32-20 cylinders by Andy Horvath:

Also have one of the Buckeye specials in 32-20 and 32 H&R:

All are great shooters.

The 32 SWL Taurus I traded for to give to my wife back in Brazil was a sweet little popper. 6 rounds with a 4" barrel and adjustable sights, it was a great little kitgun. Wish we had one like it again.

I've got a set of Bisley Single-Six 32's, big Bisley grip frame fits my hand nicely and the smaller single six frame is just right for the 32 Magnum cartridge, a bunch of soft shooting little poppers, but does anyone know if the RB-32A model (Adjustable sights, fluted cylinder) was really ever made by Ruger or not? I've never seen one, but the RB-32 and RB-32W make a nice "mis-matched" pair of pistols.
I also have a S&W 631 4" kit gun that is really fun to shoot, and an old pimped out I frame (nickel finish with factory pearl grips). Don't shoot that one yet as it's in 32 Long, not 32 Magnum.

.32-20 WCF -- A Colt Police Positive Special, a Marlin 1894, and a custom S&W NewModel 16 rechambered from .32 H&R Magnum to 32-20.

.32 H&R Magnum -- A S&W Model 631 Super-Kitgun (4" barrel & adjustable sights), a Ruger Super-SingleSix, and a Ruger SP101 (3" barrel & windage adjustable sights)

.32 S&W Long -- Several H&R revolvers of various kinds, barrel lengths, and sights and a Colt Police Positive technically chambered in Colt New Police.

.32 S&W -- A few Saturday Night Specials, some still operating.

.32 Long Colt -- Two Colt Police Positives.

.32ACP -- These are NOT second class .32's as far a I am concerned. Several semi-autos including a pre-WW2 Walther PPK and a WW2 era Mauser HSc.

The very first handgun I ever fired and also the first centerfire I ever fired was the Police Positive Special in 32-20. It belonged to my father. I later was able to buy an H&R with a side-swing cylinder, a pencil-thin 4" barrel, and a windage adjustable sight, and used hot-loaded handloads. Killed a lot of legally designated pests with that one. The only cartridges I have shot for a longer period of time are .22 rimfires.

For 32-20 rifles I have a mint condition Remington 25R carbine that's smaller than most 22's, a Browning medel 53, an original Winchester 92 takedown rifle, and a Savage 23B with vintage straight tube Wollensak scope.

Handguns there is a 4 inch S&W model 16 in 32 H&R, a Ruger Bisley in 32 H&R, a 5.5 inch Ruger Single Six 32 H&R, a 4.625 inch Ruger Single Six in 32 H&R, a Freedom Arms 6 inch model 97 in 32-20 and 32 H&R, a Ruger 5.5 inch Single Seven, and last but not least a Ruger Buckeye in 32-20 and 32 H&R.

I like 32's. They're fun to shoot, accurate, economical, with enough power to be useful. ..

.32 S&W "Short": Couple of old Owl's Heads/I-J Safety Hammer, Uberti 1849 Wells Fargo w/conversion cylinder

.32 S&W Long: S&W Regulation Police(?) I-frame, Benelli MP 95E Wadcutter pistol, Martini Cadet

.32 H&R Mag: S&W M-432PD, Ruger Single Sixes in 4-5/8-short grip "Vaqurito", 5-1/2 & 9-1/2-standard grip, Ruger SP-101 3-1/16

.32 H&R Mag/.32-20: Ruger Blackhawk "Buckeye"

.327 Fed Mag: Ruger SP-101 3-1/16

.32 ACP: Kel-Tec P-32, Savage 1907, "Ruby" style Spanish

.32 Black Powder: Traditions "Deerhunter" rifle (as well as the original cylinder for the Wells Fargo)

Pretty sure that's it...

I don't have much in 32, but do enjoy the 32/20 cartridge. The only arms I have so chambered are a rough looking Colt Police Positive Special w/ 5" bbl. that came from a local sheriff office. It had been the gun they issued to new hires until they could purchase their own sidearm. The other is a Remington M25 pump that I have taken a few squirrels with and am thinking about trying on deer at some point.

I have several and they are among my favorites:

Ruger Bisley .32 H&R with a 6-1/2 inch barrel

Ruger SP101 .32 H&R with 4 inch barrel (one of my favorite woods walking carry pistols)

S&W K-frame .32-20 with a 6 inch barrel

Browning Lo-Wall in .32 H&R (rebored from a .22 Hornet)

Marlin Model 94CL in .32-20

Martini Cadet in .310 Cadet (a true .32 - shoots a .321 heeled bullet)

Remington 141 in .32 Remington (Buffalo Bore loads ammo for these in .30 Remington cases)

And the clunker of the group - CZ Model I can't remember in .32 ACP. It's as big or bigger than a Colt Commander, with the worst trigger pull I've ever experienced on a handgun.

These are all a ball to shoot and I've laid in enough .32 H&R and .32-20 brass and cast bullets that I don't have to worry about feeding any of these (except the CZ) for the rest of my days.

Life in .32 land is grand.

of Ruger's Single Seven in 327... I really liked it! Lite and powerful, flat shooting yet controllable... I wish I had one as a kid roaming around the hills here in Northern AZ.

Of the Troops & For the Troops

I have a small pile of them from .32 ACP-327. That list includes a 1895 Nagant revolver, and I include my cadet in that.

I packed this through the whole week long rifle deer season this past year 32-20 of course.

This is very interesting especially with the Russian surplus. I am always tinkering with this and have packed it fishing and camping. Not a 32 but a 30

have handled several but never owned one. They are interesting.

Now have a .32 H&R Single-Six, Marlin 1894CL .32-20, S&W 1905 4th change .32-20, Ruger Single-Seven .327 Federal. As to which is a favorite, that is hard to say but my current impression is that the Single-Seven doesn't live up to the cartridge's potential.
