Now I understand...

Why everyone raves about these little 32's. I picked up this 432pd a while back and its finally earned a nod for a CCW. It originally came with the S&W factory crimson trace grips, no box, and was priced at $520 out the door. Seeing as this is the first one I've ever seen in person and priced a bit lower than market, I had to scoop it up.

6 shots, can fire shorts/longs/magnums, lightweight, manageable recoil. What's not to like? I've plugged the IL (thanks JD!) put in a wilson spring in it, and put some beater magnas on it. I feel like this is the perfect middle ground between my 7 shot shot 351c 22 mag and my 640 no dash. The only thing I wish it had is a pinned front sight.

Who else loves their 32 H&R magnum?

Way too lazy to try to find mine and dig it out, but I'll tell you and all that I love it and honestly can't imagine getting rid of it...which is why it is buried safe from the light of day. Honestly, forgot I even had it until I read your post!

First one I've ever seen. Good luck with it

Like mine also. With the Hornady 100 gr. XTP at over 1000 fps from the 1 7/8" barrel I never feel under gunned. Did put these Culina grips on, but like the original rubber grips near as well.

My 332 is my go to carry gun, weighs next to nothing, drops easily into a pocket and is easy to shoot accurately. I have some Federal HiShock that i use for carry ammo.

I have a 431PD. Same gun with a hammer though. Had the hammer bobbed by a gunsmith. Have a spare hammer in case i change my mind. Great pocket gun. Its a keeper for sure.

I just bought one on gunbroker. Now I am waiting impatiently for the post office to deliver it to my FFL

I like mine with Hammers.

I have a Model 351 PD. I have never fired it but I'm dying too. .22 mag. If anyone on this forum who has ever fired one I would love to know how it honestly feels. Thank you much.

22 mag out of a handgun is usually very loud, but almost no recoil.

.22 Magnum in the S&W 351...

The .22 Magnum in the S&W 351 is very close to the feel of a .22 Velocitor out of a S&W 43c, ie, not enough recoil to bother you. I own both. I have seen the videos on velocity/penetration and the .22 Magnum out of a 2 inch revolver is about the same as the .22 long rifle. That came as a disappointment for the .22 Magnum but after a while, I reconciled myself to those facts. Anything you carry will be a compromise and you just need to stay within what you are capable of and what the gun/ammo you carry is capable of.

I like mine with triggers.

All of mine have triggers no matter what

Just seems like ammo availability and range of bullet weights, designs is pretty limited with the .32 as compared to a .357/.38 revolver

As a bullet caster I find the 32 mag almost ideal. I use mine for small game or targets mainly but they dote on 90-120 gr bullets with the 98 RCBS being great in all. Mine are a Ruger SSM and a CA Professional. They are economical on lead and powder and the report is not usually ear shattering. They are not the only cartridge to have but they certainly fill a niche. 32 has been cheaper for me to load than I could purchase 22 lr for since 2004. 38 Special has occasionally come near that but comes in well behind the little 32.
