Power and Penetration are two different things.
Every time you make up crap comparisons you're going to get flak over it.
one ought to consider changing screen names?

That's expensive ammo, as is the BB .32 Long, but unlike the .32 ACP, the .32 Long BB ammo can be shot in a .32 S&W Long revolver, while the .32 ACP would be potentially dangerous.If penetration is the desired effect, the underwood captivator seems a good choice given the results of this youtube gel test:

Underwood offers this in .32 acp, but not .32 long.
Considering carrying this in my seecamp, but found that occassional rounds have too hard a primer and requre a couple of trigger pulls to ignite. They feed and function fine otherwise. I like results I saw on the video.
.32 S&W long is not more powerful than .32 acp.
Charter ArmsYes, it is and it's like that for all .32 Mag ammo.
What revolver is this? S&W? Ruger? H&R? If this is an H&R made .32 H&R Mag revolver, I might actually say don't shoot .32 ACP in it. Those were not well made guns, I don't know if they're capable of shooting sustained amounts of the higher pressure .32 ACP.
If this is a Smith or a Ruger, you're all clear.
If you're mostly looking for cheap range ammo, .32 ACP might work in your gun, you have to try it. If you have issues, buy the .32 S&W Long. Here's a link to the cheapest ammo I could find:

.32 ACP is quite accurate out of my Heritage .32 Mag.ratshooter said:The biggest problem with shooting 32acp from a revolver is the undersized bullet isn't accurate. The 32 long should be between .3125 to .314. The 32acp is loaded with .311 bullets.
Not necessarily. I saw one on Gunbroker for $240 a week or two ago. I'm at the point with the .32 that unless it's a 6 shot Charter Arms or a Ruger .327, I don't want to spend money on it.I wish I could find a Heritage .32 Mag for sale. I passed on one years ago at a gun show for $179.00. Instead I bought a .357 Taurus Gaucho. Even though I am happy with my Taurus I wish I would have bought the Heritage. If you find one today they sell for almost double the price.
It's a 5 shotYou'll be fine.
5 shot or 6 shot?
As usual, people lying (eer exaggerating) to make a point. Or maybe 32 mag is on the pricy side- but; 327 federal is available locally at $30 per 50 and online first hit was $26 per 50

Even near obsolete 32mag has plenty of hits from $36. More lies. With 327 running fairly strong these 32mags are mild to shooter.
