Ever since I read the Lucky Gunner article “Why the Best Snub Nose Caliber is .32,” I’ve been intrigued by the idea of a snub revolver in .32 H&R Magnum. Why didn’t that caliber become more popular? S&W and Taurus used to carry snubs in that caliber, but they’re since discontinued. Used S&W snubs in .32 H&R Mag now run up to $1,000. Charter Arms is the only manufacturer making revolvers in .32 H&R Magnum.
Do you think .327 may be in the future for S&W? The idea of 6 rounds in a .327 vs 5 rounds in a .357 with similar performance seems like a “no-brainer.” Ruger’s .327 revolvers are the only option in that caliber. Regardless of supply issues, if there is demand, supply will catch up. Also, when .38 & .357 were flying off the shelf during the riots & pandemic, you could still find .32 in stock.
