I saw a 432 and 632 yesterday. Front sights glow and no barrel clocking problems. They had some H&R ammo, but no S&W Long. I have my eye on other guns so I didn't buy one. If they'd had a .38 I'd have been more tempted.

Running that .38 Short Colt load through the penetration model furnished by @the Schwartz I get about 19" of 10% gel penetration. That's using a 125 flat point .358 diameter bullet at 800 fps (estimated snub velocity).
My dealer hasn’t got mine yet. I’ve not seen 32 revolver ammo anywhere I’ve been yet. When I get an idea when to expect it, I’m going to order some Lost River wadcutters for carry, and some brass and bullets to load for practice ammo.
Sigh - since all this discussion, I've been motivated to carry my older 432 in the pocket of my nondominant side as a BUG to my EDC Glock. The odds of using either in my area is low but it's the stakes rather than the odds. I worry about a nut rather than an economically motivated criminal. The gun is so light and the Duluth pockets so accommodating for the DeSantis holster, I don't even notice it. No BUG reloads though, that way leads to madness.
BTW, lots of HST rounds in various calibers at Cabelas (not 32 though).
The one I saw last week is gone. I was hoping one of the . 32's took it's place. I'll just keep carrying my 43c(for now). :)
I can’t recall if it was LuckyGunner or SG, but someone had Fiocchi .32 Long FMJs in stock. For those looking for easy shooters and/or easy reloads.
I have a Scandium 38 with excellent sights installed by Dave Lauck of D&L. The front sight is a SDM with a gold bead and flat top. Here is a link:
