Does anyone know of anywhere to get any 32 short ammo. When I look online all they have is 32 apc or 32 long. Thanks
 
.32

There are three cartridges that qualify as .32 Short.
One is the .32 S&W short - available from Midwayusa.com
The others are the .320 Revolver and the .32 Short Colt. These two are very similar. They are not interchangeable with the .32 S&W.
Fiocchi was making .320 Revolver. Winchester was making the .32 Short Colt. It was available from Sportsman's Guide, among others.

.32 Short Colt brass is available from Natchez Shooter's Supplies.
You can also get .32 Short Colt from GAD Custom Cartridges.

IF you are looking specifically for " 32SHORT " ammunition you're out of luck as there is no such thing, perse'.
There is the 32S&W cartridge and THAT is what you are looking for. Bought some fresh W-W 32S&W cartridges not al that long ago.
 
Remington makes it.
Stock #R32SW

Ableammo.com sells (not cheap)

1.0 grains Bullseye or 231 pushing a #0 ("single aught") buckshot pellet works good for fun ammo.
Use the pellet right out of the box in an un-resized case.
Seat the pellet flush with the case mouth.
Smidgen of bullet lube or Crisco over the pellet won't hurt anything.
 
Bob the tomato, It doesnt make too much sense at first, but The 32 S&W came out years,before the other one, the second, was a longer case with more powder and they called it the 32 S&W Long to set it apart. They never really backed up to call the other one a "short". I'm guessing because none of the old guns were so marked. But it sure seems like if 1 be Long,then the other must be Short. And a lot of guys call it that. But the ammo guys like to be , well, accurate.:) Hope that helps.
 
Gun?

What gun is this ammo for? There is a lot of emphasis on the S&W cartridge. How do we know that that is the one that is needed? If Bob the Tom has gotten an old Belgian "Bulldog", he may well need one of the other 32 Shorts.

There is no such thing as .32 S&W Short, which may be why you can't locate any. There is .32 S&W and .32 S&W Long. While many folks call the .32 S&W "Short", the ammo makers do not use the word "Short" in the name or on the box.

.32 S&W is sometimes hard to get; it is not a big seller any more and the ammo makers just run off a batch every so often.
