Looking to see some real world reviews. Thinking about the 432 32 mag version. The pic is the 442 but it’s essentially the same gun except the 432 is a 6 shot.

not exactly the same, but I have the S&W airweight model 642. hammerless. 5 shot. shoots .38 + Ps.
I've had no issues.
long trigger pull and kicks pretty good as expected from a snub nosed revolver of that caliber that's light weight.
purchased for the wife as a uncomplicated, pull trigger and shoot, close quarters, "gut gun"

The .32 makes zero sense, the performance of the round is notably inferior, and if a sixth round is absolutely essential to you, you can get a six round .38 special Kimber K6XS which is a fraction of an ounce lighter than the S&W, has a much better trigger AND it's $80 less expensive.

32 mag version


.32 magnum Critical Defense - 80 grain bullet
.38 Critical Defense - 110 grain bullet

Despite the extra round and the magnum's higher muzzle velocity, I know which one I'm picking.

Still prefer a hammer. But I’m old school. Nice gun though.

A 3" version of that 442 would be great.

Picked up my 632 today. Trigger is really good. I like the grips. This one is going to be my primary summer carry rig. Going to carry 100 gr buffalo bore JHP's in it. Pretty close to .38 special +p rounds.
