TITANIUM CYLINDERS ON THE 432UC & 632UC
- Thread starter Martyk
- Start date
Anybody have theirs yet? I saw one at the Indy gun show last weekend for $729.00 plus tax and walked away from it. Great feeling J frame too. Love to see who has one and how you set yours up with different grip options..
I have the original 432UC and a 432UC Ti (titanium cylinder). I like them both very much but, frankly, if the titanium was available first would buy the titanium only.
Lipseys forgot to include the Hamre Forge grips and will send them later. I added old school Pachmayrs. The Pachs look and feel quite good.

This week my 432UC - Ti arrived. Man I like it!
Trigger on my Ti is nicer out of the box than my standard UC. Barrel is a little canted, it appears otherwise perfect.
While they will wear the CT lazergrips I prefer at some point, I really do like the feel of the stock ones. Fits the palm, trigger reach is natural. If you forced me to pick one set of grips? I like the feel of both, but the lighter weight of the HF ones, I prefer that on a J-frame.
I plan on using the 432UC as the higher mileage range gun, and perhaps for hotter loads if I get curious, and the Ti as a primary EDC.
I like these 2 so much that I'm thinking if the were to one day discontinue this line for some reason, I'd try to pick up several more!

They forgot mine too, ha. I've been waiting about a week for them to come in now. Hopefully they'll be in early next week. Hockey taped up the cheap OEM synthetics for now...

Just paid s&w, will be several weeks yet. Was 165 round trip with the work and shipping.
Are you just getting the cylinder, or did you get a second crane?

Cylinder only, reuse existing crane. Return steel cylinder

My S&W 432UC came back from S&W two weeks ago. The titanium cylinder was installed, total cost was about $167 and 7 weeks turn around or so.
The original cylinder and ratchet were returned.
The teeth on the new cylinder were different than the original one giving a little different trigger pull. It was easier to stage but I didn’t care for it. Swapped the original ratchet back into the titanium cylinder.
All is well now, just got done from putting 20 rounds through it off the back porch.
My reloads were flat tip solids moving out at around 925fps. Potent medicine, no ejection issues at all with brass or nickel cases.
