I was recently given an H&R Model 732 revolver. It was made in 1972 and has been sitting, untouched, in my friend's dresser drawer since she got it new. She wanted it out of the house so she asked me if I'd get rid of it for her. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it
Anyway, I've managed to dig up a few factoids about this model gun:
- uses .32 S&W or .32 S&W Long, but not .32 H&R Magnum
- notorious for heavy, rough trigger pull
- virtually worthless: in mint condition, maybe $185
- no collector interest in this model at all
- might be in the "Saturday Night Special" class
That's it. That's all I know.
I'm hoping someone can tell me something - anything - about this model. Anecdotal info would be welcome. Fun facts, safety issues, rants or raves. If they're well-made or junkers, etc etc etc. Anything that anyone could add to my meager store of knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
I haven't shot it yet. I was told by a gun shop employee that it looked like it had never been fired. Before I shoot it I want to make sure that 36 years of inactivity haven't permanantly damaged any important parts. I have a knowledgable friend I plan to press into service
