The 32 WCF or 32-20 is a rifle cartridge sometimes also used in handguns. S&W made this model on the same frame as their M&P .38 Special, but with its own serial number range. They were fairly popular in some areas in the 1910s and '20s but production ended by WWII and never resumed. If it is in good mechanical condition it should be safe to shoot with "cowboy" loads, but beware of any ammo from a box marked "High Speed" or "For Rifles" since some older ammunition was loaded hotter than is safe in these old revolvers.
