S&W 32 SHORT TOP BREAK

getting out the old ones for wheel gun wed here with a S&W top break, double action, what I believe is the 4th model. 32 S&W short with the somewhat rare longer 6 inch barrel

this revolver is quite the piece. very small grip and fun to shoot but pretty underwhelming by today's standards. the top break action works very well and ejects the empties fully clear of the cylinder. the finish is missing is many spots but overall the condition is good without any real pitting. the rear sight is a VERY small groove in the frame latch! 5 shot cylinder. the single action pull is decent but heavier then expected. double action is useable but not great. I'm not sure if it's just this particular gun but another 5th model change of this gun in inventory is quite a bit better then this one... could of been an update or could just be this gun...

78 grain 32 cal Missouri cast bullet was loaded in new starline brass using federal 100 primers. a small charge of bullseye yielded a whopping 768 fps. hot loads are not advised in the small top breaks and these days are reserved for some occasional plinking with friends as a novelty..

WGW submission...

picked up this s&w hand ejector recently in 32-20 or 32 WCF

decent finish left but has a couple spots on it. to be expected for its age .

5 screw model, square butt, longer barrel in 32-20. grips look original and came with a nice old holster with interesting tooling. working on some loads for it but nothing to post yet

if you have any good 32-20 loads please share

Loading today for a Taylor's and company scholfield revolver. Made in italy from uberti and Imported by Taylor's. This gun features a 5 inch blued barrel and frame with case hardened trigger guard, hammer, and release. Dark wood stocks complete the package and look good. These designs are heavy, but a fun to shoot, and for those that have never handled one feature a top break design that auto ejects all 6 rounds at once. Loading is super easy with all 6 charge holes exposed and accessable. This particular reproduction model has some modern updates featuring a rebounding hammer allowing you to safely load all 6 rounds and not have any risk of the firing pin resting on a primer. The hammer must be in half cock to open the latch and tip the barrel down. Once closed, the cylinder freewheels until the single action hammer is cocked rotating and locking the cylinder into position. Be careful not to let the cylinder rotate between firings and skip one although possible I never experienced this problem.

loading was

8.0 unique

missouri cowboy 250 RNFP coated

starline brass

cci primers

Yielded around 810 fps from the 5 inch barrel and accuracy seemed good when I did my part. The trigger was factory and while not. considered match grade was pretty nice when good technique was used...

Overall a nice a fun range gun. A little to heavy to pack around but recoil was mild from the weight. A favorite design of Jessie James from what I read. Definitely worth a try if you have a chance to shoot one. I would like to try one of the 38 special models sometime....

We heard vz58 owners wanted to run PLAN B mounts.. so we made some adapters..

These are the affordable small universal mount that gives you the mounting surface in a small lightweight format. Flash hiders or brakes to follow if we gain enough interest in this thread pitch
