I just picked up a S&W 632 & was wondering if 32 acp ammo could be used in a pinch. It's .309 as opposed to the .312 of the rest of the 32 family so it is .003 undersized.Pressure should be OK and the base diameters of the 327 and 32acp are both .337. The only problem I see is the thickness of...

I also have the satin stainless, looks like it was a special run for Elliot Brothers. I wonder how many in the run... I love the feel and agree with Nuts, a 38 special feel but I only have the low recoil and 32 H&R to play with. when I get the heavier ammo I'll post back observations of recoil...

Sounds like the story on my 3" Colt Python, as more people started sharing information more had been produced than the 500 as was originally thought. "Special" runs had not been factored into the total. As to the Pink Fuzzy Slipper, my aunt had bought a pair way back and he had a fit when he saw...

Hi Lee, What I would like to know is how he happened to come into possession of what Roy Jinks describes as one of the rarest M&P's. He was living in Key West late 40's until Korea started up which is the approx DOB until I get the letter of authenticity from Roy narrowing it down. If it had...

I yhought an update might be in order to put a face to my Great Uncle, Al Goodrich. I've been going through boxes of family papers trying to unearth anything relevant to my Smith's origins. My Uncle served in both World Wars and Korea for 40 years retiring as a Master Chief Warrant Officer and...

Looks like we can start a little .32 M&P Club between us. It's interesting that those three are clustered fairly close together in relation to mine and that mine is outside the range stated by Roy in the one letter: Mine is C 687XX, I wonder what that's all about? Can you all post some pictures...

Wow, seems to be the week for rare .32's. I guess I have a few months wait to get the last word on my 5" .32 M&P. My .32 M&P story

Mine is C 687XX, Florida is getting closer!

Sure, here's from his site: LFI-I LFI-II For most these will cover 99% of what a armed citizen will encounter, LFI-III adds the Sub-Machinegun to the mix. After 25 or so years since I took LFI-I what stands out the most is terminal ballistics and situational awareness. I pay attention to the...

Black on blue:

Does a 3 1/2" count? I would love to see S&W make a 621 snubbie...

That's too funny, I was just commenting on your post in the 315 Night Guard thread!

I'm amazed by what I've seen here, discovering these forums has opened up a whole new world to me! ENH, those are some beauty's and Shooting*, thank you for turning me on to Dave Lauck, I like his rear sight solution better than Cylinder & Slide's or the one I came up with. This is what I came...

You don't want to see what some of the boat guns looked like that I've seen here in the Keys... A Stainless Marine Firearm is nonexistent, SS Mini 14's rust just a slightly different color than the blue ones. Of course those are the exceptions, most captain's are keeping up their guns as well...

After taking his LFI-I and II, Massad Ayoob taught me a new way of looking at guns. I've been wanting to pick up a 681 to put in a 696 cylinder and 3" tube. I'd also like to see a short tube 621...
