Friends,
Lipsey's did an event for gun writers a couple weeks ago. They fired a BUNCH of rounds. I sent down 900 rounds of 100 grain Poly Coated .32 H&R wadcutters. (For those who may not know, I own Lost River Ammunition Company).
The ones of the right:
Jason (the VP) from Lipsey's advised that in the literally thousands of rounds fired, they had ZERO malfunctions or issues of any kind. You would almost expect something. A screw backing out, grip coming loose, some little hiccup. But they had zero issues. It was a testament to how well the guns were put together.
The 100 grain .32 cal poly-coated wadcutters were designed specifically to shoot to the sights for the guns, and they shoot to the sights on Ruger LCRs as well BTW.
I was advised from a couple different people who were there that the load penetrated between 22" and 24" of gel. Velocity from the S&W was right at 800 FPS.
Recoil (this is subjective and this is just my observation) is about like shooting a .22 Magnum.
Bottom line is that although I already own a Ruger LCR in .32 (.327 Mag actually), I ordered one of the Lipsey's S&W 432 Ultimate Carry J Frames for myself.
I have been carrying a 442 for almost 25 years in my pocket at it has more than 6K rounds through it.
I figured I was due for this.
In fact I was out shooting a different gun yesterday, and finished up with 12 rounds of 100 grain Poly Coated Wadcutters from the LCR.
The light recoil just makes shooting pocket guns a whole lot more enjoyable.
