Do we know of pocket holders that will not snag on the front sight?

Just checked with my Kramer pocket holster, no snagging.

Wondering about A-Holster

Working just fine with my 642-UC. Check my post #’s 779 and 800. And btw, apparent the Bulman Kydex pocket holster is UC “approved”.

I've got about 300 rounds through my UC now. Whatever hitch in the trigger I had seems to be gone. Today I bench rested the gun, and shot this at 25 yards. 5 rounds of Federal Gold Medal Match, and 5 rounds of my W231/HBWC hand loads. They basically group on top of each other. You can see I shanked one round of the FGMM way low, and I think that was me not getting a consistent sight picture with the round B8, the round big dot front sight, and the U-notch rear. I find myself getting some vertical stringing at all distances, and I think its my alignment of the sights being loose up and down. The gun does seem to be shooting a bit high at this distance, but this may be my might sight alignment. I was using a 6 o'clock hold on the bull stacking the B8 on top of the front sight ( like looking at an "8")... I think I may drift the rear sight just a smidge to center things up. Fairly impressive accuracy for a little snub in my hands. It really makes me wonder what I could do with it if there was a way to mount a red dot on it, but that is not the intent of the gun.



ETA: I tried to call Lyman today, and I guess they get out of the office early on Fridays too, because they were gone. 3 of the 12 A-Zoom snap caps I ordered have the rubber primer sitting proud of the case, and will tie up the cylinder in use. Guess I'll try again next week. I may just trying shaving the rubber "primer" down flush in the meantime.

Would anyone care to recommend a source for quality .32 cal cleaning supplies (brush/jag/rod/patches)?

I was surprised that my 432UC didn't come with the usual factory aluminum rod/brush, but it's probably been 30 years since I purchased a 'new' Smith, and I guess they stopped including that at some point.

Rainman, et al

I have been asked this a good number of times in the last month or so.

Chances are you already own what you need.

The .32 H&R obviously is a .32 caliber.

.38 specials are .35 caliber, as is 9mm. That is .03" difference. 3/100th of an inch does not make a bit of difference with 90% of the cleaning brushes out there. I have used my 35 caliber bore snakes that I use on my 9mms and 38/357s on my Ruger LCR and it works perfectly.






I still have not cleaned the Lipsey's 432 UC .32 H&R in spite of having more than 500 rounds through it, as it has had a diet of nothing but polymer coated 100 grain wadcutters and it is still surprisingly clean considering the round count.

Hope this helps

I picked up a Pro Shot 32 brush and jag from Midway.

Was in my LGS today and asked the manager if they've seen the guns. She said that she hadn't. Just got a promotional video email from SW. Don't know if they will filter down to the cabinets of small town stores unless they become really popular.

I found a Tipton jag tip and a Kleenbore bronze brush on Amazon
