My interest in S&W revolvers covers hand ejectors from 1899 to 1982. I purchased my last new S&W , a Model 34 in 1978. My newest S&W is a model 64 made in 1980.

I have not yet purchased a newer S&W because there are so many original older S&W and Colts out there that are still on my wish list that I am trying to add to my collection. This is not a negative comment on the newer S&W revolvers. On the contrary there are some very appealing revolvers in the current line up.

I see the changes in materials and manufacturing methods as necessary in order to stay competitive in the revolver market.

One of the older models I missed out on is the K-32. They are’nt seen often and the prices just keep going up. Even the 16-4 has gotten hard to find.

After looking over the current line up I think it would be great to see a K frame .32 in the line up.

Two possible models would be a stainless version based on the model 67. It could be called the model 616 CT for Combat Target.
Barrel length options could be 4” or 6”.

Or maybe a Model 16-5 K-32 Masterpiece for the classic line.

Chambering would be .32 H&R Mag like the model 16-4.

If they build it I will buy it.

The question is does Smith and Wesson’s marketing department listen to suggestions?

Either of these suggestions would be built on existing designs and would be easy to make.
