Really Have a Hankering for a.32…

[Moped]

I have no clue why. I have other pistols in different calibers to shoot. But I want a little .32. I saw a little Rossi M69 Stainless Steel 32 S&W Long, with a 3” barrel, on a local auction site. They kept it up for 5 days with no takers at $270, then took it down. I stopped in on Tuesday and looked at it. It’s got some light scratches, but other than that, it’s in perfect shape, with a nice trigger. Offered $200 and they said no. They have reposted it for $260, with the auction to begin next week. Trying to decide if I should go ahead and bid on it or watch it go by and if it doesn’t sell in five more days, go offer them $225 for it.

It’s a copy of the S&W 30 or 31. And as I said, it’s in excellent shape. Not looking for a carry gun. Just planning to use it for plunking.

Anyone got any personal experience with these little revolvers? Or thoughts about purchasing one? Thought about trying to find a .327 Federal, but those seem to be unobtainium.

Not a revolver, but a semi-auto: the Walther PP in .32acp.

I always considered the PPK in .380 to be a dumpster fire. Then, on a whim I bought a 1961 vintage PP in .32 at a gunshow. The trigger is excellent, reliability has been 100% and it's a sweet shooter. Come November I'll have to truss myself up for my daughter's wedding. I'll probably carry the PP during the ceremony.

Armorer to Bond(Dr. No ):
“Walther PPK. 7.65 mil-delivery like a brick through a plate glass window.”

Sorry couldn’t resist. And I don’t know anything about .32 revolvers-again, sorry. But the little gun sounds neat.

Look for threads started by @Outpost75. They will not cure your hankering.

I keep wanting a six-shot .32 H&R SP101 with the drift-adjustable rear sight and 4-inch barrel, but they have gotten stupidly priced since Covid.

What I would really like is a .327 Federal, but I don't like Ruger revolvers and prefer S&Ws, so it remains a thought.

Considering the Manurhin .32 personally, although it is spendy.

Academy Sports has the .327 LCR available for shipment to your local store.

Beautiful pistols!!! Congrats!!!

A local gun forum has a SP101 with a 3 barrel for $750. Looks to be in good shape. Considering offering a trade with him on my Interarms Walther PPK/s.

Thanks!

I think you'll enjoy that SP101. 32 is a neat caliber in all its permutations. My M16 is like shooting a 22lr, but reloadable and with a bit more "umph" without the report of a 22lr.
