I neglected to reply to this question when this thread was active, so I'll defrost it for one more go-around.
Despite occasional references to the fabled postwar transitional .22/32 target revolver, I don't think they exist. I have never seen a photo of one, let alone the real thing. I suspect S&W intended to manufacture some, but, with the possible exception of a couple of super-rare prototypes, never got around to it. Somewhere I have a postwar six-inch tapered .22 barrel that would have been installed on such a gun, so the intent to produce seems to have been there. If you can find one of those barrels and a postwar transitional Kit Gun, you can build your own.
Good luck with the prewar I-Frame .32 Target. I bought two off of GB, but I haven't seen one listed there for a long time. I think they have all gone to ground.
