Snakebite Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I know a lady that has been shooting a pair of 32 HR/Mag Blue/CC Rugers for a year now. She sent them to Shotgun Boggie about a month ago for his Short Stroke installation and got them back last week. They are nice, but now she has decided that she is tired of loading for a 38 rifle and 32 revolvers. She has fancy leather that would need to be replaced too. (petite) I told her I would keep my eyes open and that she might be able to swap them for what she wants. I was able to do it with my wife's 32s a couple years back. My question is this.... Is the 32 craze still going on? Is this a likely scenario? Snakebite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Howdy Snakebite. Personally speaking, I think some of the '.32 craze' has eased up somewhat. When the .32 H&R Marlins became basically extinct and out of reasonable price range for most everyone, the pistol demand dimenished a little also. BUT..... a trade such as you have mentioned is highly probable. A lot of folks have multiple sets of .38's and there are still folks who would like some .32 Rugers....... as long as they don't have to dish out their life savings to get them. I love my .32's and still shoot them. But I also shoot a Marlin .32 H&R. Great combo. Just my opin. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Creek,5759 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Could she have the 32's changed over to 38's. I know of a shooter that had 32's changed over to 38 colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cusz M. Dutch SASS Life 55326 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 When people noticed the 32 recoil is often times more than a 38, think the trend faded. Lighter gun seems to magnify the recoil impulse and seems to results in more muzzle rise. Talking about the Single Six framed 32's. Still have not fired my full sized RV and lucky to find a second Marlin that has not been fired yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I had the only pair of 32’s I had left in the safe converted to .38 spl. and had octagons installed while I was at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's cool. I guess it might be an option after all. I'm sure she would like to keep the small frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
