Keep your hands to yourself, leave other people's shit alone, and be kind to one another. In other words, do not do unto others what is hateful to yourself.
I picked up my 432UC today.
On the way home, I stopped off at one of my shooting spots and shot 36 rounds of different brands of ammo: Fiocchi (.32 Long fmj), Black Hills, Federal, Lost River. All rounds went off 100% (I wanted to be sure as I may not get a chance to go shooting for another couple of weeks and I was worried after hearing a report of light strikes). My night sight is glowing.
I wanted to look under the grips and found a #15 Torx driver at my tool bench. This is the first set of grips which has used a Torx head. The hammer spring was painted/colored yellow, whatever that means. If anyone knows what the yellow color means, let us know, not that I'll be needing to replace it ever or anytime soon.
The grips felt great. I'd hope one of the rubber grip makers (Pachmayr or Hogue) would've made these out of rubber a long time ago.
The .32 Long has low recoil and, even at 5-7 yards, hits a few inches lower than .32H&R Mag. I wasn't bench resting (I was just out in the country) or anything so don't take that info as scientific or anything.
I suppose my wait of 3+ months (or was it 4?) was worth it.
Also, thanks to JEC for getting this product line idea to market and encouraging me to get onto a dealer's Lipsey's-Wish-List program.

My 432 is going back to S&W, can't get through a Cylinder w/o multiple light strikes.
FWIW There is a 442UC at North 40 Outfitters in Lewiston, Idaho and it's for sale for $719.00. It's been there for two weeks and I just fondled it an hour and a half ago.
North 40 Outfitters is a ranch and outdoor supply chain here in the inland Northwest.
If you go there is a DETOUR on 95 between Genesee and Moscow. 15 minute wait, gravel temporary lanes. Take the 195 Pullman, Wa route to Lewiston. North 40 is at the top of Thain Grade going into the Lewiston Orchards. It's in an old Walmart.
