    I am hoping my shop doesn't happen to have one of these tomorrow. I know they had a bunch on order. Fingers crossed. I just put a bunch of money down on a Surefire Socom 3 and a SP5K. My wallet needs a break!

    Not sure why they'd go backwards with their "ultimate carry" version of the 632 but the well loved and hard to find 632 Pro (.327 Mag version of the 640 Pro) or 632 Carry Comp were designed for .327 Mag and are great carry revolvers. They should have just brought back the 632-2 Pro in .327 Mag and the 432PD if they needed a lighter pocket J frame .32 H&R Mag to go with it.

    And in order to build those under 16 ounces, they would have had to be scandium, as I mentioned. They would have also cost about $1200-1400 each.

    I am curious, have you ever shot many 327 Federal Magnum rounds out of a 14 ounce revolver? It is a very fast way to develop a flinch.

    Also, the sights on those are basically useless. I have shot both of the guns you mention.

    I might need one of these, just can’t decide between .38 and the .32.

    Unless you plan on carrying a hot .38 +P I recommend the .32 mag with its 6 shots based upon my experience with Ruger LCR's. Practice with .32 s&w Longs. (If you don't reload, they're cheaper)

    I think the .32 might be the smart play but I think I am just going to stick with the .38 to keep my already insane ammo situation less insane.

    I try to keep my cartridge count down so I’d stick with .38 also for that reason.

    My 442 arrived at the LGS, and I'll be picking it up on Monday.

    The 432's have not shipped yet.

    If you are talking about Barrow’s, I asked them earlier this week if they had any and they told me to call back in a couple of weeks.
