H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Are there any full size, that is to say, main match, pistols on the market that are chambered for .32 S&W Long? I have an 1860 Colt (made in 1861) that has been cartridge converted to this round. It's clearly a "modern" conversion with a rather new looking cylinder and barrel. (Which is why I got fairly cheap.) But now I have this one gun in this caliber and nothing to pair it with. Yeah, I know I could use something chambered for .32 H&R and just run Longs in it, but I'd really have something more akin to what I have than something totally modern. I suppose one option would be a cylinder for my .32-20 3rd Gen Colt if such things are made. Or where there any guns made back in the day I should hunt for? Or is anybody making anything? I'm just asking in case anybody knows.
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Ruger made a run of original Vaqueros in .32/.32-20. They weighed a ton.
Three Foot Johnson Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Closest thing I've got is an RG63 in .32 S&W Long, BUT they were double action. Made in .22, .32, and .38 spl - you don't see the .32 very often.
Bullett Sass 19707 Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 Ruger made a blackhawk in 32/32-20. They called it the buckeye and yes very heavy. Bullett 19707
WOLFY Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 could an italian 1860 Army be converted to that caliber?

The Buckeye Sports .32 Blackhawk convertibles are more common than the Vaquero convertibles, and turn up several times a year on Gunbroker. There's a .32 Vaquero convertible listed right now, currently at $901 + $30 S&H and four days to go.

If you can covert a real Colt by replacing the cylinder and barrel, then it would work for a clone. Bu I already have an 1860 like that. Why would I want 2?

WOLFY Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 how is that cartridge’s pressure? might it be possible to convert a .22 like a Ruger single six? isn’t this like what uberti did to make their “stallion” model p into .38?

Just looked it up. .32 S&W is 12,000 psi .32 S&W Long is 15,000 psi. Wiki is our friend at times. Oh, and looking over the past few posts, were you thinking I'd convert an Uberti 1860 to more or less give me a match pair? I don't usually shoot matched pairs. I like variety. At my last shoot, I was shooting .32-30 out of a 3rd Gen SAA and a Bisley Colt, for example.
Pee Wee #15785 Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Is there a conversion cylinder for the .31 cap guns. Just ask at your local match to use your .31 conversions, it's not like we shot for a $1,000,000!!!

But I believe they are all 5 shots, and pocket pistols.

Flint N. Steele Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 I have a Heritage in .32 H&R mag. They're out there. Um, mine is not what you'd call "slick."
Muley Gil SASS # 57795 Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 I have a Cimarron/Uberti Model P Jr chambered in .32-20/.32 H&R Magnum. I rechambered the .32 H&R cylinder to .327 Federal Magnum.

Pee Wee #15785 Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 I like my .32 H&R Mag Ruger Single Sixes. They pack light and are fast to handle. .32 S&W Short, .32 S&W Long, and .32 H&R

Bullett Sass 19707 Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Yes they work with .32 acp and shoot very well. I have done this on several occasions. Bullett 19707
