RyanM is thinking along the same lines as me.
Take that old design like the H&A (which was also produced by a dozen or so companies) and stretch the frame and cylinder to .32 H&R Magnum length, with a 2" barrel and there you go.
It would make a great boot gun.
As for the comment that "nobody's buying the J frame .32 Magnum revolver S&W does make," perhaps if S&W would just make a plain blued or stainless steel model people would. Even a model 37 black style alloy frame with steel cylinder & barrel. Forget all of that Scamminem and Tittytwistem stuff with it's patented Peeloffwhenyoucleanit™ finish and make a real revolver.
Maybe THEN people would buy a .32 J-frame S&W.
But then again Taurus would do it just as well, with a better lock system, in more materials and finished for two-thirds the price, so maybe not.
I tend to agree with those who ask, "Why buy a .32 that's the size of a .38? Will one more shot make the difference?"
Make a five shot .32 with a smaller in DIAMETER cylinder if you want to sell them.
Let's face it folks what killed the Walther PPK/s is that you can now buy 9mm pistols that are the same size or smaller.
Most people who are going to carry a .380 will get a NAA or similar.
As for me? If I stuble across a well worn Colt Detective Special in .32 CNP at a decent price I'll buy it. Have it rechambered into .32 H&R and use it for ammo testing and plinking.
.32 S&W case + .05gr Bullseye + 00 buck = .32 BB Cap
