Do what I did. Check to see if your dealer is affiliated with Lipsey's, and have him order you one. Took about two weeks for me.

Picked mine up today and took it to the range. It’s everything they said it was, very pleased with it ! Paid $660 plus tax.

$660 is a smoking deal! I got the 32 version for $730 (plus tax) and was happy with that. Still waiting my 2 weeks so don't have it in hand yet..........

My Lipsey's dealer called about getting me one and said they were "allocated" and they couldn't get me one.
I will just wait 6-9 months for the excitement and hoopla to die down.
Remember how the Sig 365 was "unobtainium" for several months before production caught up? Same thing will likely happen with the 432/632.

I ordered mine right after Shot Show and was actually surprised to grt one so soon. I had told the gun store that I would accept either one of the 32 magnum models but preferred the stainless one which was delivered.

I wonder if this will encourage anybody to make a small to medium small .32 ACP. Sort of a .32 on a .380 frame.

Lipsey's runs aren't like a 365, they tend to only make so many of a model. Unlike Sig who will keep cranking out a model. Now, it will be interesting to see if S&W makes something like this down the road, or a similar version. Hard to say, I'm not sure what sort of agreement they have.
Sorry, I'm not tracking. Are you talking about a 32acp revolver or semi? Agreed that 32acp doesn't get much love these days.

Auto, kind of like a .32 Colt Automatic Pistol. I know there are .380 revolvers but that is not what I was then thinking of.
.32 ACP is more powerful than any .22 I have shot so far - well, the same 99 ft lb as Stinger - and more reliable in centerfire. My Keltec .32 is tiny, what they used to call a vest pocket pistol, but that makes it a hard kicker.

Both Lipsey's and S&W have said that this won't be a limited run, and will become regular production.

No, as I said that is so small and light as to be a hard kicker, unpleasant to shoot and hard to shoot accurately.
I have one but it gets out only on rare occasions I can't squeeze in a small 9mm.

That would be fantastic!

Now...if they would provide a 3" barrel!Hope this hasn't been posted already.
Looks like a great J frame edition (Ultimate Carry) with a lot of upgrades AND 32mag coming back which I love;

Ruger or Smith, whichever makes a 3" first wins the prize, and they ought to hurry because Taurus is really, really close... Not interested in the Charter...

I sent Taurus an email asking them to consider doing a modern update of the H&R Young America, but for .32 S&W Long. Taurus is like the Kel Tec for revolvers, they'll pretty much make anything that's a revolver if it's something outside the of the box, but further they're a large enough company they'd have the money to tool up to produce a smaller frame that would be a smaller than a J frame revolver.
I don't expect them or anyone to do it because .32's don't sell, even tho they're the most practical caliber for small frame revolvers. What would sell is .22 because it's cheap and has no recoil, but the problem with all double action .22 revolvers today is they're made on .38/.357 frames which means the revolvers are far larger than they need to be for the .22 caliber.
So, my thinking is if any super small frame .32 revolver is ever to be made, it has to have a .22 version as the base. If you slap a .22 revolver that's half the size and weight of a .38 snub in someone's hands, they're going to take notice and as long as it's cheap to shoot (what's cheaper than .22?) they won't care and since they already bought the .22 version, they'll probably also buy the .32 later on.
.32 ACP in a revolver? IDK, I guess if someone like Taurus or Ruger would go thru the expense of producing a super small .22 revolver then they could offer a combination .32 ACP/.32 S&W Long convertible revolver on the same frame.

I got my 432 about 10 days ago now.
The trigger pull feels fairly heavy, but stages easily and repeatedly.
I shot it for the first time yesterday at 10 yards, and it shoots really well.

I agree that the trigger is smooth for a J frame and it is easy to shoot in double action because of the predictable staging of the trigger.

I don't know how I missed this in January?
Cool little J frames. I would like to handle one before I would order one. Being a lefty I wonder how the inset grips on the left side would feel?
