Pee Wee #15785 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I have a pocket pistol that is chambered in .32 Colt long not .32 S&W short or long, they don't fit. It could have started out as a rem fire, converted to .32 Colt early in it's life. Is there some where I can get some .32 Colt brass? Would like 10-20 pieces to do a display under glass with the gun. I wouldn't shot the gun as it is just way to cheap made. Good nickel on one side with punch engraved and pearls, left side has blood pitting so not even fair.

Cholla Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 .32 Colt brass is extremely hard to find. There are some being offered on GunBroker but they are not cheap. Tenmile sells reformed brass that will work in .32 Long Colt. I think it's 20 pieces for $20 plus shipping, which is cheap from what I have seen. He also sells heeled bullets. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/895702457 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Buffalo Arms sells a box of 50 loaded with black powder for 87 bucks.https://www.buffaloarms.com/32-long-colt-black-powder-ammo-amobp32longcolt.html They also have a listing for brass at 89 cents per. It's made from something else according to the listing, https://www.buffaloarms.com/32-short-colt-cases-reformed-32shortcolt.html Good luck.

Pee Wee #15785 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 I don't need loaded rounds, but want the .32 Colt head stamp on the brass. Will put a primer in 2 or3 with bullets in the case, no powder, a very old Dupont FFFg can empty and a hand loading set from late 1890's early 1900. This is just for my enjoyment not a public display, all though, I would loan it out for display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Your best bet is to watch Gunbroker for original brass. I found a handful at a gunshow in a odd-lot box of junk. .32 Colt is one of those rare forgotten cartridges that time has left behind. Good luck.

Grass Range Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I have a box mostly full. Marked 32 Colt New Police. Newer Winchester box in good condition, 98 Grain Lead. I do not know if these are the same as what your bullet launcher takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 32 New Police was there version of 32 Smith & Wesson. Not the same as 32 Colt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pee Wee #15785 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 I have an old WESTERN box with 40+/- rounds of New Police but they are to large of brass for the .32 Colt chambers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I have a partial box of Remington 32 Colt somewhere. IIRC there were 5 or 6 loaded rounds and maybe some spent brass. I'll have to see if I can find them, no promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Ooops! Not what I remembered at all. 15 loaded 32 Long Colt and 2 loaded 32 Colt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Just out of curiosity, what kind of a pistol is it? Do you have a picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grass Range Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 My 32 NP measure .910. Book shows 32 Colt Long at .92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 .32 short Colt is still made. Virtually all "pocket" pistols chambered for the Colt round were in .32 short Colt. There are thousands of them so a run of ammo is made now and then. https://winchester.com/Products/Ammunition/Handgun?filters={"ids"%3A["%23c-71"]} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pee Wee #15785 Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Gun looks like a Police Positive but has no markings on it why I said Europe made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Then it could be .32 Long. Most people do not consider the Police Positive to be a pocket pistol. Kinda hard to tell since these rounds used heeled bullets and the cylinders are bored straight through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Go to Colts website and use their look up the serial number thingee. I have a Police Positive with no markings on it either, but when I put in the #, it came back with a description of my gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pee Wee #15785 Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 S&W short and long will not chamber. No serial number or build number. I have had it down to pieces and can't find any markings on any part. From the few Colts I have seen apart insides not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Ah. No number pretty much means it's not a Colt. Oh well. Makes it even more interesting, in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
