For the record, I'm talking about plain Jane, old as dirt, .32 S&W, NOT.32 S&W Long.
So, I saw a .32 S&W Hopkins and Allen at my LGS the other day that looked great and was a low price. I've been looking online for a top break .32 as I'd like a top break revolver in my collection, but the price and way many of them look have put me off.
I didn't handle it, but I will ask about it next time I go. My concern is it was probably made back during black powder days. I've read that factory ammo makers have intentionally kept the .32 S&W power and pressure low to still work in the old and weak .32 S&W chambered guns.
So my question is: Will factory .32 S&W be safe to shoot in .32 S&W guns that were made a long time ago during the black powder .32 S&W days?
