32 revolvers

Anyone else love this old 32 revolvers I just picked these up. I had to buy them all! 32 S&W is a fun little round to shoot too not very loud and almost no recoil. I already have ammo and another top break 32 that I've shot a few times.

Very very nice. I have one like the top one in .22

When I started my police career back in ‘68, this was typically the “Saturday night special”. When we would “recover” these from folks, they would frequently be loaded with several different types of ammo…. Whatever the dingbat could find.
We also encountered a bunch of cheap old Euro pocket pistols in .32 and .380 auto.

THERE. ARE. FOUR. REVOLVERS!
Couldn't resist. I love little top breaks in 32 and 38, never got into the solid frame stuff. One the still affordable branches of gun collecting!

I don’t recommend firing the Iver Johnson (top). The cylinder is free-spinning and the cylinder stop only engages when you pull the trigger

Interesting that one is missing some pieces so that one probably wasn't going to get shot. I was going to look for parts would like to shoot every thing at least once.

Make sure those are for BP or smokeless. Some of the older ones are not made for smokeless rounds. I hand load .32sw in BP for mine and it’s a lot of fun! Almost no recoil but plenty of smoke.

Yeah, I know the one solid frame is for smokeless the others I think are for black powder. I have another top break for smokeless and one for black powder. I plan on reloading some light black powder rounds just because I don't like not being able to shoot one of my guns. Won't shoot them a lot but they're still a blast at the range.

I used a .310 lead round ball on 7g of 3F and those worked well. You just need to make sure to crimp or the balls will fall out.
I ended up drilling a .312 hole and pushing 00 buckshot through. Much cheaper, correct diameter, and a bit heavier. Plus it gave more of a flat to help keep the bullet seated without crimp.

I just ordered reloading dies. I was planning on getting a 88gr bullet mold for it. I'm planning on making some bullet traps for my range reclaim my lead since I'm just getting into reloading and casting bullets.
