My wife has a S&W J frame revolver chambered for .32 H&R magnum, which ammunition is extremely hard to find and expensive (20 $ for 20 rds) for a pistol. My question is, would it be alright to shoot .32 S&W long and short through it? I asked someone at Bass Pro Shop and he said it would be fine, but he seemed preoccupied and hurried off after answering, so I did not get the greatest confidence from him. Thank You

Yes, same deal as shooting .38 Special in a .357. The 32 Short and Long cartridges are just shorter than the .32 Mag.

Yes, the 32 S&W and 32 S&W long can be fired in a 32 H&R magnum chamber. You may need to clean the chambers after shooting the shorter cases to remove residue before shooting the magnum rounds.

Will, consider getting into reloading. It is an easy cartridge to reload for. Byron

Yep. Easy and cheap to load for. I load plinking rounds for my little Taurus .32 Mag. I would love a Smith Mod 16, but folks are so proud of them.

Try Georgia Arms for 1,000 fps jhp's $20 or so for 50 rounds... I load my Ruger "Baby Vaquero" Single six 4 5/8" bbl with them... best kit gun I ever had!
