Back in the early 80s two guys broke into my neighbors home with intentions of robbing him. He pulled out his old H&R 32 S&W long and shot. One guy ran and the other was hit on the chin area, the bullet went through his chin bone and lodged in his spine in the neck area. The guy was paralysed for life. Sounds like a pretty good self defense round to me.
Love these . Don't know the ballistics on Magtec 32,s they do make a hollow point load rated at about 770 fps. Saw a test a few years ago, and Federal and Winchester loads didn't break 600fps. Mostly about 550 to 590fps. Pretty anemic. Don't want to blow grandpa's old revolver apart! (I guess!) Love your CHANNEL, keep up the good work!
Gun Sam Revolver Aficionado does some really good tests on the various 32 rounds. Even some of the slow 32 longs do quite well imho. I know nothing about reloading, but I hear they are great for that. Thanks for the interesting video!
I do own an old H&R revolver chambered in 32 S&W Long and I've got to say it works amazing. Mine has serial numbers and it was made around 1900s. I would recommend using S&B ammo, their flat nose bullets are just amazing compared to Magtech.
Thanks for the history on these cartridges. And yep I would carry either. I know some that carry a 25acp. I would like to have that Ruger 327 federal magnum. And most definitely would reload for it. Stay safe brother👍
I inherited my grandfathers H&R sidekick in 32 s&w recently. Nice little gun and I've been able to find some ammo for it at good prices. I'm buying wadcutters because I don't believe it is made in HP. I'm told the velocity is not high enough to open a jacketed HP. No worries though, I've got plenty of other options and I appreciate the little revolver.
The 32 long with WC or SWC can actually be pretty effective. They meet FBI criteria and cut pretty good holes. Since all handgun carts are well below hydrostatic shock velocities lower energy is not really the disadvantage you might expect.
I have an h&r 732 from my great grandfather and cant wait to shoot it and an question if anyone can answer u an bullet brought around 2004 can still be shoot now of days
What it's mean when the 32 long revolver spanish made cylinder chamber the long fits loosely when cylinder is open bullets fall out easily 🤔 1900s spanish American War is gun defective or what .32 long ctg
yes the .32 s&w can be shot from a .32 s&w long & I belive also the .32 h&r magnum & the 327 federal magnum can safety shoot the .32H&R .32s&w long the .32s&w so basically if you have a revolver chambered for the 327 federal magnum you can essentially shot 327 the 32h&r magnum the .32s&w long & the .32s&w all but you can NOT shoot a 327 in a gun chambered for the .32 h&r mag ect ect.

I burned up a bunch of both these today through my wife's Charter .32 H&R mag. Now I've got to load them back up. Fun gun, great cartridges!
Ammo is a pain to find now. All I could find during the panic buying was a 32 short pistol everything else was gone at the gun store

I carry 25acp as a back gun sometimes. Or 32acp. Anything John Browning made is fine with me!

My wife has a S&W LONG for her purse gun. I load Starline Brass with Unique Powder and HP 100 GRN bullets from Hornady. Very accurate snapper!
I have my grandfathers H&r top break and I have the box it came it

Have you seen swc .32 long? I'd like to find some.
Inter net search
@@timt8029 The magtech SJHP version seems to perform reasonably well.
@mkshffr4936 Yes I have some of those and they are a little hotter than the lrn.
@@RTACDaughters I haven't found any loaded cartidges.
I have a old 70s Clark or clerk 1. Never shot it
I'm not familiar with .32 at all. Good informative video as usual. Your knowledge is always impressive!
Have one that my father gave to my mother back in 1945, haven't fired it yet, Looking for ammo

Thanks for the info
I have an h&r 732 from my great grandfather and cant wait to shoot it and an question if anyone can answer u an bullet brought around 2004 can still be shoot now of days
Yes as long as it the right caliber for your gun
Just got a snubby but I think the cylinder is meant for 32 long. Sweeeet
You can shoot 32 short in it as well.
@@RTACDaughters 😊
What about reaming a 32-to 32L
No I would not do that pressure is different.
Any recomendation where im can get it ‽
Online and about 45 bucks for 50 at today prices.
We’re do u find the ammo
I had a lot before the plandemic. Now it's on line. Not cheap any more.
@@RTACDaughters yea that’s for all ammo unfortunately

If it was made during the spam an war its most likely a 38 long Colt with out seeing the gun or a video and marking on the gun it's hard to tell.
Can a 32 short bullet be fired I'm a 32 long
Sir if the 32 short is S&W you can shoot it out of 32 long S&W!
yes the .32 s&w can be shot from a .32 s&w long & I belive also the .32 h&r magnum & the 327 federal magnum can safety shoot the .32H&R .32s&w long the .32s&w so basically if you have a revolver chambered for the 327 federal magnum you can essentially shot 327 the 32h&r magnum the .32s&w long & the .32s&w all but you can NOT shoot a 327 in a gun chambered for the .32 h&r mag ect ect.
