i actually carry a 32 long S&W hand ejector with a 3 1/4" barrel loaded with the Buffalo Bore 100 grain wadcutters. I'm retired, a hunter, and former military who never had much use for handguns. I protect my home with a shotgun, but since retiring I travel more and wanted something I could carry. I shot a 38 airlight and the short sight radius combined with a light gun, a stiff trigger, and strong recoil made it hard for me to shoot accurately. The sweet trigger on my 17 oz. 1953 pocket gun and better sight radius allows me to actually put some pretty good groups on paper-quickly too with the low recoil. I just buy my ammo online-PPU target ammo costs $15-17 per 50. I don't know how to attach a post but if you search "Smith & Wesson 32 long chronograph testing" on this forum you will see my results. About the same muzzle energy as .380 hardball or 38 special wadcutters.
