If that's the case and they hit the streets in the mid 600s, it's going to cost me some money.MSRP about $759 - from the horse's mouth.
If you haven't seen it Lucky Gunner did some good gel testing on a lot of the "pocket calibers"; https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/pocket-pistol-caliber-gel-test-results/I'll have to check some gel testing on the .32mag. The only other question is, do I actually trade the 442, or just "replace" it...
Neither. Keep the 642; you're just adding to your choices.At $759 it is tempting to trade my standard 442 in for the carry improvements on the Lipsey model. The only question is, .38spl or .32H&R Mag? Probably .32, an extra round, more comfortable to shoot, similar capability (at least vs. standard velocity .38spl). I'm a fan of the 110gr .38 Critical Defense (both +P and standard velocity). I'll have to check some gel testing on the .32mag.

I'm thinking the closest equivalent might be something like the Winchester Supreme Elite .38 Special +P 130 Grain JHP.
One or more of the boutique ammo companies produces a cast full wadcutter +p load in 38 special. I wouldn’t load them in a speedloader, but for the initial five shots I like the idea of a full diameter nose punching a big hole.Therefore I choose non-hollow point bullets that penetrate more. Heavier bullets with enough speed are better at breaking bones and not deflecting away from the initial path. So are very fast bullets, but we can't really get that with these two calibers.
I choose a 100 gr SWC as fast as possible in .32 mag (950 fps from a 2 inch) and In .38 a 125 to 158 gr +P SWC depending on weight of the gun and point of impact.
NIICE! Is the frame steel or aluminum, or whatever light alloy they use now? NO lock hole! (YAY!) Now, if they would only do a 3" barrel. I'm assuming (a dangerous word) that if they would do a 65 Ladysmith style revolver with the 3" barrel, and also +P or 357 Magnum/38 Spl. rating, it would probably sell like hotcaaes!Hope this hasn't been posted already.
Looks like a great J frame edition (Ultimate Carry) with a lot of upgrades AND 32mag coming back which I love;

Al frame from the info I have seen on it. No lock is a key (har har) thing for me as I just can't stand the look of them, nor need/want it. That said, I don't think this model was ever made with a lock on them due to their design (guess there).NIICE! Is the frame steel or aluminum, or whatever light alloy they use now? NO lock hole!

Same for me, ordered but not arrived. I will not pay more than MSRP.I've had one on order for about a month. Nothing has arrived yet.
For the same reason they're chambering it in 38 Special and not 357 Magnum.Wonder why they picked the H&R instead of the .327?
