Hi, have shot standard modern .32 shorts in the past. I had to repair it after a miss-fire my son experienced. I don't think he cleared the barrel before the next round. So hence the repair. The ammo I have: Magtech 32 S&W 5.5g (85gr), Remington 88 grain (which is what my dad originally used). Not sure what that equates to in millimeter but hope that helped.
I am not sure on this as I did not remove that part. Looking at the pictures, it appears there is a pin that holds the top sight in. You may have to remove that to access the firing pin. Also the hammer looks like it should pop off the stud. You may have to remove the bottom screw in the handle to remove the large spring in the handle as well. If you figure that out, please post back as it may help others. Good luck!
1882? How about after 1888... Hammerless came out in .32 DA starting in 1888... so to having one from 1882 that isn't gonna happen. I got one. I need a new hammer...according to Smith & Wesson's Standard Catalogue 2nd edition, page 54. Serial number range 1-91,417...1st Model.
Thanks - here is what I found - 1st Issue with push-down barrel latch, serial number 1 - 91.417, manufactured 1882 - 1902 . www.american-firearms.com/american-firearms/z-pic/pics-S/Smith%20&%20Wesson/S&W-32cal-safety-hammerless-right.jpg Also found that SN 32K was mfg in 1883 series 1. So that is why I think 1882 - good luck with your search!
@@TMackTips Yep, I'm tinkering with the hammer trying to expand the cut out for the sear catch. Just about got it...still a work in progress... Shelling out another $80 for the hammer isnt my cup of tea if I can get it running smooth... I have the blued model, SN 25XXX... Id double check your number for the DOM and your sources...if it had a squared trigger housing and an exposed hammer, Id agree with you, but it should be round as mine is and no exposed hammer. Known as the New Departure or Lemon Squeezer, 1st models (and a key is "hammerless" in .32 not .38). The model 1-1/2 was started in 1878-1892 and the key is one side plate screw on the left side in all model variations 1-4, model 5 had the S&W logo on the right frame. from 1909-1919. From the photo you have here... appears to be at least a 2nd model...(It has the tall tell sign of the S&W logo on the right side of the frame), 1st models didn't have the S&W logo and have two screws on the left. If you take off the grips, you should see the spring for the safety...flat is pre SN 53000... coiled is after 53000. My source info is right out of S&W's book by Jim Supica and Richard Hahas.
Thanks for the updates. Will take a look. The confusing thing is my SN is very low and falls squarely in the first model. Good luck with your hammer mod!
Awesome...
I needed this video
Glad it helped

@TMackTips I understand, thank you again
How do you get the firing pin, spring and bushing out?
