I prefer big bores... and have a 296 .44 Special 2.5". I am considering a smaller gun myself - and, oddly enough, the 432PD is actually under consideration. It is a hammerless, like my 296 & the 642, but in .32 H&R Magnum - and with six rounds. I believe it weighs just less than the same size 642 - and is priced similarly. Georgia Arms .32 H&R Magnum ammo, 100gr JHP @ 1,100 fps, would produce 222 ft-lb of KE if they would do 1,000 fps at the muzzle. The Remington R38S12 158gr LHPSWC +P's, the tried and true 'FBI' load, I keep in my 2" 10 do 844fps from it's barrel, yielding 249 ft-lb. Six of the .32's will total a bit more KE than five of the .38 +P's... and, they are ~ what my 1895 Nagants shot in their heyday. The 432PD is a bit better - and has a trigger pull measuring a fraction of the Nagant's effort.
Until I get some $ for another snubby, that +P rated 2" 10 is my choice.
