Regarding the why. Over the past several years I've carried some flavor of HK, most recently the P2000Sk. With holster, and 11rds of 147hr HST, it comes in at 33.65 oz. Not the heaviest option I have, but I've grown concerned about the cumulative effect over the years.
With the 432UC, I have a gun that weighs 19.5 oz holstered, with 100gr WCs and LG-405s. I've noticed that over the short time I have had it, my back pain is less, and my night's sleep is better. I can also fall asleep with it on, and not feel like I have a brick on my stomach. I've heard the trope about a gun should be comforting, not comfortable. That dead horse has been picked clean at this point.
I can hit very accurately out to 25 yards, and hit C zone or better at 50. The addition of laser grips greatly enhances both live and dryfire. I'm not selling off any bottom feeders, but Lipsey's and S&W absolutely nailed it.

Thanks @Det1397 for helping me out.
I have to say... I'm a bit envious of those of you who have got your hands on these. Really looking forward to getting my paws on one eventually.
On the Hardwired Tactical facebook page, DB announced a new AFR pocket holster designed to accommodate the UC’s rear sight.
Same here!
I'm gimped up from tendon reattachment to my left ankle currently, so no range time for me and my walker...getting old sucks!
But I have an LCR 327 and handloaded 500 rds of .32 H&R Mag WCs already this week in anticipation of eventually picking up one of the .32 UC's...maybe 2
Carrying Lost River's .32 mag in my LCR of course.
Congrats to all that have received one (or more) and thank you for your posts here.
Where is that envy emoji?
I think it's on the AFR Official FB page. (American Fighting Revolver)
