Lipsey special edition J frame in 38 and 32mag

I'm left handed. The stocks are perfect.

Thank you!

There are lots of small to medium small, and even larger, .32 ACP semi-autos out there.

But not as a current model. I know of one Beretta 81 in town and I have a Colt but new .32s are lacking.

Keltec used to make a great little 32acp, but I don't know if they still do?
I wish Ruger would in their LCP pistols....

 

[Jim Watson]

I have the Keltec. It is tiny to hang on to, has negligible sights, and kicks a good bit. I am likelier to carry and shoot a LC9s or G43. A LCP .32 would be more manageable.

True.

But put a .32 barrel and magazine in a new 80X and you'll be shooting .32 no problem.

The problem is, I don't care to get into the Lego Gun Game. And any mention of .32 calibers by me is purely conversational, I have one for deep concealment and one for show and tell and that is enough.

Lego Guns: I know a guy who put an aftermarket upper on his $2000 PCC to save weight and swing faster.
FLG called yesterday to discuss a customer who assembled a PCC out of commodity parts, including an expensive commodity trigger, only to find it prone to running away full auto. They THINK it due to the ammo but notes and records are scant.

Range Report Lipsey's S&W 32UC

First up was the S&W 643 Airweight snubby in 38SPL with 148gn ammo. It was painful. 2 shots and I put it away. Avg of 2 shots was 864.4fps. 245.1 FT-LB with the 148gn bullet. Too light to absorb the recoil. Even with the rubber grips. Expletives were uttered.

Next up was the Lipsey's S&W 32UC Snubby. Sights were great. Shot with two hands, elbows supported at 21ft. Group was about 2-1/2" x 4"
Average of 19 shots was 938.6fps. 156.7 Avg FT-LB. Slightly painful but do'able. Arthritic hand was my reason to try the 32 H&R and it looks to be usable.

I hear ya but it's literally the barrel & magazines. No other parts at all.

Wait until you shoot some 98 gr .32 S&W Long at 650 fps from that gun! You'll love it!

Hornady Critical Defense in .32 H&R Mag was very comfortable shooting and accurate for me.
The .32 S&W Long loads felt like I was shooting a .22. That said; POA=POI was the same for both loads at 10 yards.

Of course now that I have money they are completely unavailable at anything close to MSRP.

Well...these are excellent, too!
