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


The .32 magnum 100 gr +p is actually very similar to 38 special +p. Buffalo bore .32 + p 100 gr has 377 ft lbs of energy and 38 special +p has about 400. In gel test the .32 has equal penetration of the 38 special +p.

Here is a YouTube video showing the comparison.

Oh damn. I would never have though a .32 could get that close.

Yeah the 32 mag has plenty power but the problem is ammo cost and selection. It’s why I opted for. 357 Ruger LCR in which I use 38.
