.32 s&w ammo

[TonyB]

How hard is it to get 32 s&w ammo...a buddy has an old Harrington and Richardson top break pocket gun he wants to try.....I've never heard of this caliber.....is it available anymore??

 

[Mike Irwin]

You can still find it, but it can be difficult. I believe that Winchester is the only manufacturer that still loads it.

Gun shows are usually good, although some gunshops may carry it.

I'm looking at a fairly new box made by Remington. (88 grain, lead round nose) that I paid $12.85 for. (50 rds.) It's no man stopper, I'll tell you!

The ammunition is available in larger gunshops, and can be ordered by any shop from a distributor. However, be sure your friend's top-break isn't a black-powder era gun before you shoot it. Some of those had cylinders made out of what amounts to iron.

I think it's nickel plated....probably 1920's era......would that be ok w/ the new ammo?

We keep Winchester .32 S&W in stock.

Then again, we also keep .45 Win Mag in stock...

Tamara:

You must have an interesting range of customers. Hopefully they won't get the two sizes mixed up ......

Lookin at same sorta box as Rut ..... but ........ Yikes .... $14.95!!! Sheesh. had that a while too.

Lot of ''very little bang for the Buck''!

TonyB:

When the trigger is forward and the hammer at rest see if you can rotate the cylinder. If so, you have an older model dating back to the late 1890's.

If the cylinder is latched and won't turn you have a later model made as late as 1940.

Remington has it in their catalogue as R32SW 88gr RNL
Winchester has it in their catalogue as X32SWP 85gr RNL

Both list is as 680fps from a 3" tube
