I'm not impressed by the SP101 in general, but at the time I wanted a .327 and I didn't like the size of the GP100 for a .32, especially when a 7 shot .357 was available in the same gun and the only other option was the snub LCR. I didn't want a snub, so the SP101 was it.I'm unimpressed by my SP101 in 327. My own fault. They don't fit my hand well and I don't like the triggers, but I bought it anyway.
The Single Six in 32 H&R is truly excellent.
My S&W 32 long i-frame Hand Ejector is hard for me to shoot well. It's very small and the trigger is poor.
I don't own a K-frame 32 revolver, but I would very much like to. A K32 Masterpiece would put my Single Six to shame, no doubt. The Smiths are not that affordable, but I see the Taurus equivalent every so often in 32 long or 32 magnum. Whenever I get my new job I might have to shell out the money for one.
My favorite 32acp pistol is easily my Beretta 81. That thing is super accurate and amazingly fun to shoot.
If I could go back I would have gotten the Single Seven.
One issue I have with the Ruger .32's tho is I know they make the throats on the .327's big, .314" as that's what mine measures and I'd rather have .312 or .313. I'm not sure, but I suspect that the .32 Mag Single Six has smaller throats than the .327 Single Seven.
I don't see much value to the older .32 S&W Long Smiths, they're well made, but also suffer from drawbacks that were typical of the era in heavy DA triggers and tiny/poor sights. A K32 Masterpiece is too much.
I like the H&R's, they're fun to play with.
You mentioned Taurus and you know what? I've seen some older Taurus .32 Long and Mag guns on GB earlier this year. I'll take another look.
