With the low pressure of the .32 this doesn’t cause any harm but accuracy is poor. Probably good enough to hit a large target at close range but then we are back to the topic of stopping power.

I also considered getting a .32 ACP cylinder but decided it wasn’t worth it for a novelty gun.

A friend shot .32 Long in his Nagant revolver. It was hard to find the proper ammo for it. It shot well in his piece.
