A pair of .32 Magnum Airweight J-frames
An original 632 from the early nineties:
An uncataloged Model 032, also from the early nineties:
I've been shooting the 632 for a couple years now. Practice using .32 Long ammo is a lot of fun--recoil and muzzle blast are both negligible, making it easy to shoot tight groups even in rapid fire. Magnum rounds have a bit more blast and recoil, but they're still easily controllable even in these Airweight revolvers.
I bought the 032 NIB, and since there were only about 180 ever made I planned to keep it that way. But I was having so much fun with the 632 that I finally decided to give the 032 a try. A couple weeks ago I put the first rounds through it since it left the factory almost 20 years ago, shooting some Black Hills JHP and Federal Personal Defense JHP rounds. It shot so well that I'm considering it as a replacement for my 442 no-dash as a backup carry gun.

Here is my recently purchased 16-4 with the N frame Cokes that were on it when I got it.
My 6" 16-4, which has an extra cylinder for .32-20WCF and is again at Hamilton Bowen's to have a .32 Long cylinder installed:

My wife got me this K-32 for my Christmas present last year. Met the guy at the Walmart parking lot. I had contacted him and made sure he knew what he was selling. His price was $500.00, it turns out he just liked tupperware guns!!
An with the proper grips that I got from a forum member.

Good lord that is a great looking four inch.
I love my one and only 32. I picked up a Single Six last year and it has become my favorite. It is beside me now as I type this. One day I hope to pick up a 4 inch Smith to keep it company.
Came across a nice 6" 16-4 a couple years ago. Price tag was steep but managed to trade a rather tired 44 mag Annaconda even for it. Didn't care for the Colt at all, had paid $500. I was thrilled w/swap.
Enjoy using the 16-4 for falling plate matches at local club.

I am sick of folks finding guns by accident that I am looking hard for.

Not that I've seen, but an imaginative re-loader could make some. Don't think they would be that effective, but I could see.....powder....wad....shot....wad in a 32MAG or Long case. You may have to be pretty creative to construct some, but I don't see the need. Too many 38 and 22 shot-shells lying around out there on the shelves. It's just un-American not to have a 22 no matter what else you have.

I like the .32 Mags. I have a well used 632 that I enjoy shooting the most. I also have a couple of model 16s.
The 32 Mag that gets the most favorable comments & offers to purchase is my 332 Ti with Spegal grips. I ordered it when S&W first offered the Ti line. It hasn't been fired and I keep all documentation I recieved with the gun. I have been tempted to have a range session with the Ti gun but so far the 632 is making most of the range trips
