This might give you an idea of how small a DA .32 S&W cartridge pistol can be.
This is the H&R Premier from around 1900.
Not sure when it got the ginuene Franzite grips
It needs work and I may give it a hand polish with Mother’s for giggles.
Five shot, up hill all the way trigger pull, and the rear sight is sort of an after thought on the latch.
many of my Grandfathers Cohorts in the late 1950’s and Kennedy years carried one like this of one brand or another in a trouser pocket most everywhere. Some moved to a coat pocket for church or in cold weather.
I attended a funeral for one of these “uncles of no relation“ with Grand daddy in1978 and several of the old codgers still had them ... and wanted to show them too me.
