I'm curious not only about the answers to these questions, but the reasons behind them.

Caleb:
Here are my responses, for the ones on your list that I have owned:
K32:
I very much enjoy this gun. I never shot it (or any K-32 for that matter) and I purchased it to complete a Masterpiece trio. As I own a bunch of K-22 and K-38 Masterpieces, I think it came in right at my expectations.
Registered Magnum:
A couple of my favorites...
I bought my first RM and I was hooked. I still love them and think they may be one of the finest revolvers to ever roll off the factory line.
Triple Lock
I owned one... it never really flipped my switch and I sold it. THAT said, if I could find a reasonably priced, well-used Target TL in 44 Special, I would probably be all over it.
2" Pre-War M&P
This one really flips all of my switches - pre-war 2" M&P, engraved, and King Super Police - the S&W pearls are also very nice...
Pre-War Terriers
This little guy is amazing in the attention to detail for a little carry .38 S&W.
Pre-War Kit Guns
Not exactly a pre-war Kit Gun, but a lot of pre-war parts on this transitional Kit Gun. It also is very nice and will remain in my collection for a long time.
K-22/40
About as fine a revolver as was ever created - you have to love the original micrometer rear sight individually fit to each gun. It makes me smile every time I pull it out of the safe.
King Super Targets

King Super Target - aftermarket modifications that took nice, but relatively common guns and elevated them to the level consistent with any firearm "work of art". When combined with Roper grips, KST's are something truly qualified to bear the label "fabled guns."
The other guns on your list have not been on my want list... yet...
Thanks for letting me share,
