H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I know that S&W, Colt, and probably others at one time or another chambered "full size," (whatever that means) double action revolvers in .32 S&W Long caliber, but did they, or anyone, ever chamber a full size (not a pocket pistol) single action revolver in the caliber? I ask more out of curiosity than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastmaster Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Smith & Wesson Model 31 comes to mind as far as a double action in 32 Long. I believe S&W may have a couple more models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Howdy HK Colt chambered the SAA for the puny 32 S&W round, but for some reason did not chamber it for 32 S&W Long. Likewise S&W chambered the New Model Number Three for 32 S&W, but not 32 S&W Long. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems logical to me that the Long would have made it into their own gun. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Interesting question. I could not find any single-action revolvers mentioned in my limited book collection in .32 S&W Long. There were Colt SAA and Bisley in .32WCF (aka .32-20). There wee several in .32 Rimfire. There are a number of Glisenti, LeFuax and Belgian wheel guns in 8mm and .32 pinfire.

Goliath, SASS #41359 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Ruger made a special run of Blackhawks with dual cylinders - one in .32-20 and the other in .32 H&R magnum. "Buckeye" was a label on that run, as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
