Want a small 32!?

[jski]

And this is an option for hunting:

FULL POWER+ 30 M1 CARBINE
BUFFALO BORE FULL POWER+
U.S. 30 M1 CARBINE AMMUNITION
125 grain Hard Cast, Flat Nose, Gas Checked @ 2,100 fps.

I’ve chronographed them and they live up to the advertised velocity, actually a little higher.

In a carbine 18 " I'm sure , I recently sold one of my two three screw .30 Carb the nicer rarer one. The Black Hawk .30 Carb produces 1500 fps +- out of its 7.5 barrel. A 20 " T/c contender gets 150-150 fps more. The Ruger is louder because of the cylinder gap , quite a bit louder than the T/C Contender 10" .the .30 Carb is at the top of the heap for pistols . The 7.62 Tokarev is close tho , amazingly

With 15 grains of H110 underneath a 115 grain bullet I was getting (on average) 1680 FPS from my Blackhawk … as measured by my LabRadar chronograph.

Sounds right, I was quoting GI ball type ammo. I broke 2000 fps from mine the later and used three screw with a 90 grain bullet and lil gun powder.

This sounds exactly like what the OP

Still in production so any gun shop should be able to order one in from their distributor, and then you wait. I haven’t bought a new Ruger in eons… anybody know their post-plandemic timeline for delivering on orders?

Well, don’t expect it to stay at $700 too long. It’s a “3-screw Blackhawk”, meaning it’s a collectible. It also means it doesn’t have a transfer bar to protect against accidentally firing the gun by hitting the hammer.

Checked the usual sites and they’re all “temporarily out of stock”.

I will say this about the 30 Carbine Blackhawk. It’s probably may favorite gun at the range. She’s a sweet shooter!

Thread drift much?

The .30 Carb Ruger Blackhawk is , for all practical purposes, a ".32" and about the same bore . I have seen a 32-20 cylinder made for them FWIW . 5 thousands factory bore difference-= Jeesh !

If you remember, this began with a desire for a "small" .32.

I will grant you that the .30 carbine is a .32 on steroids, but the Blackhawk, especially with a mounted scope, dosn't quite qualify as "small".

Hardly a pocket pistol … but a wonderful hogleg for hunting !

I've been handloading for about 5 years and have gone down the rabbit hole, this allowed me to become a proficient pistol shooter so I wanted to make small game hunting more of a challenge using a handgun. That said I have been wanting to use a 32 caliber revolver maybe the newer 327 Mag for its versatility. originally I drooled over a Ruger Single Seven but I was broke back then and now in this climate even single actions weren't immune to the lunacy. Talking about today's climate I can get the ruger target offerings in 327 mag or being an old gun lover a S&W Model 30 I-frame or 32 or 30-1 etc. For hunting and general plinking anyone here old school and can recommend something in 32(any) that's accurate and if so any special LGS or sites other than Gunbroker that I can deal with? Tnx in advance Gent's

It really hasn't drifted much, if at all. The mention of I-Frame and J-Frame S&W's was if the OP went with an older gun, non-exclusive.

That’s right! Think of the 30 Carbine as a
327 Federal Magnum Magnum.

I have an an "old school" 32 revolver.

A 31-1 in 32 S&W Long.

It's very accurate for a snub. Probably partly because of the cartridge and partly because the recoil is so light.

But for small game hunting, best look for a 4" or at least a 3" version.

Mine is 1 7/8 inch shown with the Buffalo Bore ammo I used to carry.

That is a sweetheart of a revolver.

Regulation Police, very accurate, tiny sights, but if you can see them, very accurate.

1905 in .32-20. I need to load some .32-20. Has correct grips now.
