Do you have any objective basis for your reasoning?I believe the 32 H&R Magnum is an excellent SD round for snubbies PERIOD!

I don't think anyone here has promoted using a snubby as a deer slayer. Where did that come from? And no one recommended "going in to battle" with a snub either. I am sure everyone here is aware of what the usual use of a snub is. Up close and personal is what I use mine for.
If by “objective basis” you mean actual experience, no. I have everything I need to reload the 32 H&R: brass, bullets, powder, primers, and of course, dies, with one exception: a 32 H&R pistol. I have a million “NOTIFY ME WHEN AVAILABLE” out for Ruger LCRs and Ruger Blackhawks but … nothing.Do you have any objective basis for your reasoning?
I don't know whey anyone would "mind", but that doesn't provide any reason to think that the business case would close.I wouldn’t mind NAA making a fixed cylinder or break top in .32 Automatic, something the size of the old Iver Johnson and S&W pocket top breaks.
Hey, you're the one that started talking about 40 yard shots with a snubby.
It is important to not confuse the objective of hunting game, which is to effect a clean kill, with that of self defense against people, which is to effect an immediate stop before he attacker can injure the defender.If the range is close that ammo or any other SD ammo would be just a deadly on deer as it is on people. I have had several deer not more than 6 feet away from me. Everyone of them could have been killed with a 38 snub
One data point dies not a pattern make. I have known people who have killed elk with a .22LR and deer with a .22 Hornet, but I would not recommend either practice.And by the way in one article written by gun writer Terry Murbach he did state he had a friend who killed a deer with a 3" barreled 38 using wadcutter ammo

Sure.I also want an immediate stop to game so I don't have to chase it all over the place.
I have a .32 S&W Long revolver in the drawer of my desk. Back before Warner v Tennessee ended the era of the Fleeing Felon Rule at Common Law, an officer used it to shoot a fleeing felon--six good hits, and the man still ran more than a hundred feet.
True.There are no magic bullets and there are no death rays.
Let us never forget that the objective in SD is not to kill.In the end all it proves is that living things can be hard to kill.
The objective is to end the threat. Death is just a happy side effect.True.
Let us never forget that the objective in SD is not to kill.
That's not something that one ever wants to be quoted as having said.Death is just a happy side effect.
True.
Let us never forget that the objective in SD is not to kill.
Their survivors sure do.dead people don't come back to sue you.
Our society is too concerned with political correctness.That's not something that one ever wants to be quoted as having said.
You say you wouldn't mind, not that you would buy it. This kind of ambivalence is why we're not going to see a company pay to invest in the machines, tooling, and time to produce top break revolvers. Consider that of all the companies that went from not making revolvers to making them only Colt has bothered to do it and largely because they felt there was a market for their revolvers with updated designs meant to lower the prices and do away with the hand fitting. I mean, if you can sell revolvers that cost $1500 and you have years of data and people saying they want X, then it makes sense to make X when you can make a profit off it.I wouldn’t mind NAA making a fixed cylinder or break top in .32 Automatic, something the size of the old Iver Johnson and S&W pocket top breaks.
Is the reason for the failure to stop the suspect because the gun wasn't a .38?I have a .32 S&W Long revolver in the drawer of my desk.

The officer traded the gun.
No one will ever know.Is the reason for the failure to stop the suspect because the gun wasn't a .38?
Never interrupt a biased narrative with a logical question.Is the reason for the failure to stop the suspect because the gun wasn't a .38?
That has absolutely nothing to do with "political correctness".Our society is too concerned with political correctness.
