    I ended up buying MagTech 98 grain .32 S&W long wadcutters as bulk ammo, hoping they won't be too dirty or lead up the revolver something fierce. I avoided the PPU lead ammo because I've experienced their .38 lead ammo in my Performance Center 686 with hideous leading being the result.

    I ordered the Lost River polycoat wadcutters as carry ammo.

    If somebody would have told me a couple years ago that I'd be buying 700 rounds of .32 ammo for a wait-listed J frame I'd have said they were on crack.

    The crappy Magtech I mentioned for duds, let loose a smoke screen. Good round for a Napoleonic era line of battle.

    If we are doing fantasy little guns, a scaled up NAA mini in 32 HR mag. Their last prototype was a flop. There was a bit of an expectation uproar for something exciting at Shot but it was just another 22. Much disappointment in their fan base.

    I was talking to Darryl while he was driving today, and I think he had a dark 32 with the federal load and a light colored one with wadcutters. Guess that is one way to keep different ammo straight!

    It certainly does hit the easy button.

    Us news photographers used to do this back in the silver era. Black bodies for B&W, chrome for chromes (color slide film.)

    Here
    We were informed on Tuesday by our Lipsey’s rep that the guns were shipping (although he did not specify which model…)
    A quick look on Gunbroker shows some are already available.

    I heard a batch of the .38's arrived first.

    I thought I'd share my wife's first experience shooting my 632 test gun. I brought it, her LCR in 38 Special, and her S&W steel frame 640 38 Special to try side by side. She shot the 32 H&R 632 first with Lost River 100gr. wadcutters and loved it. Next up was the 640 with 130gr FMJ and she liked it ok as the steel frame soaks up the recoil. Lastly, she shot her LCR with the same 130gr ball. Two shots in she handed it back and said sell this one and buy me a 632. She then proceeded to shoot 50 more rounds of Lost River WC's and then a 25 rd box of Hornady Critical Defense through it. She has never been able to shoot that much through a J-frame much less an Airweight. She wanted to shoot more, but I didn't bring anymore ammo. Needless to say her new carry gun will be a 632 with Lost River wadcutters in it.
