Dick, I have to differ with you on one item. The .32 Colt New Police is not the same as the older .32 Colt. The .32 Colt NP is interchangeable with the .32 Long, and is identical, except that the original Colt round had a flattened point bullet. As you can see from above, I have revolvers in both calibers, and regularly shoot .32 Longs in the Colt, and they fit and function perfectly.
I agree with you on why would anyone use a .32 S&W in a .32 Long revolver. Plus, .32 S&W ammo is more difficult to obtain than the .32 Long.
As far as dependable semi-auto .32s are concerned, the Beretta "Tomcat" that I have has been consistently reliable, as well as my .32 Walther PPK.
Best Regards, Les
