Boomstick Bruce Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 So I got some old ammo, brass and reloading stuff at a garage sale a few weeks ago and was going through it all and found this stuff. I've never seen 32s&w in a Spanish? box and 32 Colt, what's that? I've never even heard of 32 Colt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 .32 Colt New Police was what Colt's labeled their ammo when they couldn't stand to put S&W on anything they made. Really! They finally got over this, I think in the 1950s. Both the New Police and the .32 S&W Long are the same cartridge - just labeled different, and usually loaded with a flat nose bullet in the Colt version. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The box appears to be 'Remington-Peters'. Its an old style box but it seems to be in one of them foreign languages..... maybe somewhere in California..... ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 They did the same thing with .38 S&W, calling it .38 Colt New Police. Again, the only real difference was that the Colt cartridge had a flat point bullet instead of the roundnose found on the S&W round. Think of it this way... .32 S&W Long = .32 Colt NP. .32 Colt is something else altogether. .32 Long Colt = .32 Colt .32 Short Colt DOES NOT equal .32 S&W. .38 S&W = .38 Colt NP Above does NOT equal .38 Short Colt Assuming you wish to reload that ammo, check to see if they have balloon head cases. They just might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I've got two revolvers that are marked 32 New Police. One is a made in 1904 Colt New Police, and the other is a 1975 Colt Detective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
