Having owned just about every class of handgun (to my own satisfaction) the one I was missing was 32-20. My hankering was primed by a simple paragraph in Bowen's book.
"No finer field revolver exists for marksmen who shoot standing on their own two feet as the gods intended."
This comment was made about a custom 32-20 based on a blackhawk frame, hand loaded to .44 magnum pressures, or essentially the .327 Federal Magnum.
Well... it took years to find but I ended up with a Single Six Bisley in .32 H&R which can be loaded to "Ruger Only" levels.
I was not disappointed, it's a keeper. I keep it just subsonic, like a great big .22 LR that can be hand loaded, except the 115 grain lead pills are just a bit bigger and three times heavier.
