Goof review! " maybe choose an adjustable rear sight " No Me. Great on revolvers but I ve had several "high quality" ones fly aparfon 1911s That is the reason Tripp and Alex Hamilton came up with a rugged one with no internal springs

The Model 16/32 played a part in the 32 MAGNUM! genesis. Dean Grennell got the ball rolling loaded the thing up to 1000 or 1200 fps, I don't remember which with the hollow-point version of the115 grain -32=20 bullet that cast out at 105 grains or so andit sounded pretty neat at the time 1960s...

I've never shot a 327 magnum but seems t mirror the 30 MI carbine from a Ruger blackhawk with, I suspect with the samd degree of LOUDNESS.

I've shot a Smith 32 side by side with a vintage 38. Both were massive accurate and would no doubt meet the advertised standard of 1.5" at 50 yards. Shooting "NRA" slow-fire at 25 yards, I made prettier groups with the 38 but this might have beein an illusion because the bigger holes looked...

Al Georg used to put scopes on Everything. Used rifle scopes back then -1960s because there were no Long Eye Relief numbers. He scoped an 1858 remington and shot a black bear with it. Had to step to the side of the smoke cloud to confirm it was down. He also took to turning remington Rolling...

That might have been (?) about the time the FBI said that the 9mm with modern bullets was the ideal Instant Destroyer and Killer (IDAK) Now all of the alphabet agencies and police seem to be using them. .It's cyclical. One wag here said, "Sooner or later, they'll go back to saying, Awwww, the...

The local shop has them. They look really good and the store has not run into any problems. They have the advantage of not being imported by EAA.

OK.... It Really DOES cost $3700 +. It looks like Smith or somebody likes flgr. I supposed the wide serrations and the smoke finish are marks of the truely refined taste that I don't have but I'm relieved that I got my Baer and plan to keep it.
