I have one around here somewhere. If no one else answers tomorrow I’ll hunt for it

4Given:

Yes. I used a Mika pocket holster for a traditional S&W J frame. The new ultimate Carry ("UC") sighted guns tend to snag a bit in the older holsters. I contacted Mr. Mika who was already aware of the problem and has a solution. He is making me a new holster that has the internal stiffener repositioned to accommodate the sights of the UC models. I suspect that Mr. Mika's "fix" will work fine.

Mr. Mika by the way was very responsive to my concerns and a joy to deal with.

Hopefully that addresses your concerns.

So traded outta my 642 for a 432. I gotta tell ya with .32 Mag it’s still an impressive whack. I don’t think the VZ grips add anything to be honest. I find them hard, and slippery, maybe a bit gimmicky, in that they look good but functionally suck. I really womder why Higue hasnt come out with a small boot grip that covers the backstrap all the way up, with their shick absorbing material in it? .32 long is nice shooting, I just hope it comes down in price and more loads for it are developed.

Lipsey’s need to explore, with S&W, a tiny pocketable “velo dog” but maybe develop a specific cartridge for it like the wildcat .251 TCR!

I can see how a 632 could fit that role, but given the size of today's most common loose and unsupervised dogs (pitbulls), I'd need something with a bit more 'oomph'.

CCT125US, thanks for the offer. I'll keep you in mind. Your handle looks to be an older Glock serial number, btw.

HeavyDuty, I've actually been quite happy with my LCRX. I decided to order Ruger's exposed hammer version as if/when the 432UC comes in, I'll have a concealed hammer version. I've already got various S&W J-frames with exposed and unexposed hammers.

Just today, I got a call from my FFL who told me my future 432UC should arrive in ~week.

Good for you! I'm anxiously awaiting a similar call...sooner or later.

I recently purchased a 632UC. It has 355 rounds through it, about half of which were 32 S&W Long and the other half 32 H&R Magnum. It shoots incredibly well and is the best snub nose revolver I have ever owned. I replaced the VZ grips with an old set of LG-105 laser grips that I had laying around that were too uncomfortable to use on J frame 38s. I plan to pocket carry the gun with 32 H&R Magnum ammo.

Am presently carrying the Lost River wadcutter with Federal 85 gr JHP for a reload. I would love to see more offerings in 32 H&R from the ammunition manufacturers, to include more affordable practice ammunition (i.e. American Eagle) and some modern defensive ammo, assuming they could get it to work properly out of a snub (would love to see HST & Gold Dot).

Lipsey's has done a remarkable job with the Ultimate Carry series and I look forward to seeing what other projects are in the works. It's also nice to see S&W get back to making revolvers again that folks are excited about.

If you need to dispose of those grips, I know a guy.
