Thanks for the info and welcome Alan. The seller had his LGS help ID the gun would a gun shop easily miss the true cal. ? Did the .32 have a cylinder length that would shoot long .32 as well as short .32 ? Its not the length but the diameter of the cylinder that determines the probably cal. and the extra notches on it?
Yes, I will obsess with a new gun model, the TopBreak is my 1st S&W I wanted a .32 but looks like I will be getting a .38. I hope the recoil isn't much different and .38 BP can be found or made ok, if I was to shoot the circa 1882 gun!
