.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.
