Too Many 32's??

I fit the Bisley grip frame to it. Was a little more work than I thought it might be. Grips are from Chigs Grips. I sent him frame to fit them.
There is a "Bisley-ized"
8 shot Blackhawk 327 on Gunstroker right now, item # 957090617, with the original parts included as a bonus. Bidding is way over minimum.
 
Here's my .327 Blackhawk wearing a set of Chigs.

Dyed maple burl. Just different, sort of like camo as it sticks up out of my chest holster.
 
The .32 H&R Mag is one of my favorite rounds. Lately ammo is hard to come by and expensive so I've been shooting 32 S&W Long and saving my .32 H&R Mag ammo for when I carry my SP 101. Here are mine. Top to bottom: A couple of NEF R73's; H&R 586; Colt Police and Ruger SP 101.
The .32 H&R is the reason I took the jump into reloading over 30 years ago. I simply couldn't afford to shoot unless I started reloading my own .32 ammo. I've never regretted that decision. I don't remember the last time I shot factory ammo in any of my guns in any caliber. In .32 Caliber I've loaded .32 Smith & Wesson Long, .32 H&R Mag, and .327 Federal, with bullets from 78 grain lead round nose up through 120 grain flat points. I love the versatility of the .32 H&R especially, and I'm beginning to appreciate the .327 with my own handloads.
 
Assembled all of my .32's for a family get together. I think I found all of them. You might say I have a thing for the .32's.
I know there are a few more on the forum that appreciate the .32's.

Here’s everything but the Henry. Had these on my phone. Will have to take a snapshot of itView attachment 10967
Nice collection, but it would be more complete with a Ruger LCR in .32 mag.
 
If I could get a LCR with a 3" barrel I might be interested. Don't need another snubby. Than again don't think I need ANY more. 😜 Did I really say that? That Birdshead Single Six sure is a nice one! Where does one stop with all this?
 
Had a LCR in 327 didn’t work out for me. I had to let it go.The Birdshead fills the LCR’s roll quite well
 
Very nice collection.
I also enjoy them and have a few.
I'm hunting for the Single Six Stainless Birdshead with the address on the bottom of the barrel with the Newport stamp.
I hope I don't find one until next year. To broke to play.
 
I’ve been looking through some old threads and it seems like every time someone opens up about thread about 32s, whether loading, different models, or any other variation on the theme, there seems to be a great deal of interest. When you go to gun shows or stores, ammo available or even guns themselves command a premium if they're available at all.

I wonder whether it would be worthwhile to organize some sort of an interest group along the lines of of the "44 Associates" of another era. Perhaps we could call ourselves the "32 Aficionados" or some such. So what do you think? I've bookmarked this thread since my PM box fills up so fast. I'll respond to you via a PM if you express interest and give you my email so we can establish a list.

So, whuduyathink?

R u thinking all 32's or concentrating on revolvers/semi autos. 32 H&R Mag is one of my favorite revolver rounds and I do carry a SP 101 on occasion. I think that the 32 ACP is a great training round. Small foot print, low recoil and accurate. I moved my wife and granddaughter to my PP after starting them off on a .22. That's as much recoil as my wife will tolerate.

Very nice wood on the bottom three revolvers.
More information on them would be appreciated.

Sure, they are all maple. The stainless one has Chigs grips, which he fit to the frame. The other 2 were done by a former member here, believe his name was Swindler. Was from western Ohio if I remember correctly. I believe I also sent him the frame to fit them.
 
That 32 Lever Gun is looking awesome! These need to make a comeback! I recently picked up a S&W in 32Mag and I'm becoming a convert for small and light guns.
