Hi everyone, I got two pistol purchase permits coming my way in the next couple weeks and I already know what I want! I’m thinking about the 632uc, maybe two of them. These will be my first revolver(s) and I will be carrying as soon as I take them to the range to vet the carry ammo choice… I was carrying a g43 but just discovered the video of that gentleman ND’ing in the gun store with one of those. Now I want a holster that prevents the cylinder from turning to give me peace of mind instead of a semi auto. (Pocket holster)

Welcome, good to have you here.
Welcome aboard from coastal North Carolina. The 632uc is a fine pocket pistol choice.

Welcome, Code!
I always carry any semi-auto in a perfectly fitting holster (usually kydex) that completely covers the trigger.
However, I would be completely comfortable carrying a Double Action Only revolver in my pocket without a holster.
I do use pocket holsters with DAO revolvers, but only to keep pocket lint out of the revolver.
32 H&R is a good round, but it can be hard to find.
Do you hand load?
For 32 H&R plinking I use Win 231 and 100 gr. coated Acme projectiles. Of course ,there are other good options.
Again, welcome!

The price of the ammo is making me consider learning how to reload! I'll need to save up a bit for the equipment.
Welcome to the campfire. 
I carry a J-frame .38 Special in a pocket holster for two reasons - 1 - it keeps the gun properly positioned and 2 - it keeps lint or any foreign substance out of the barrel.
If you keep your finger off the trigger the cylinder will never turn. Modern revolvers do not have free spinning cylinders. Some ancient ones did but it is exceedingly unlikely that you will ever see one of those.
I also carry a Walther CCP 9mm on various occasions and I have a pocket holster for it as well. Same thing, no lint, properly positioned. When I choose to carry it OWB or IWB the holsters I use, whether Kydex or leather, cover the trigger. As this pistol is striker-fired I use the safety; it is very easy to flick it off if I need to draw the gun.

There is much more advanced and faster stuff available, but a Lee Turret Press and a RCBS M500 scale are probably the cheapest good starter equipment for beginning to reload.
I bought those items to be my "starter" items several years ago, thinking I'd get better equipment later.
However, I quickly came to ENJOY the hand loading process and I have no desire for a faster press.
This is the kit I bought.
Lee Classic 4 Hole Turret Reloading Press Deluxe Kit
The Lee 4 Hole Classic Turret Press features a proven design which utilizes turrets that lock into a solid steel ring allowing the reloader to quickly...

I upgraded the scale and added a RCBS UniFlow powder measure and a manual powder trickler.

The first thing you should do is pick up a Lyman or Speer reloading manual and watch a bunch of videos on youtube on reloading. The next (I can almost hear the torches and pitchforks coming to get me) is to pick up a Lee Loader. They are a pain but perfect for a beginner. That's what I started on back in 1977. Got quiet good at it after a bit. They aren't made for quantity but a box of 50 can be loaded in maybe under an hour. One thing you really need is a hand priming tool. I really like the Hornady hand held which I still use today. Just my opinion.
