How is the stopping power of the 32 H&R Mag?

[e'ville]

In a small revolver how does this round compare to .38 +P? Are six .32's more firepower than five .38's? I can't find much on the stopping power of the .32 H&R. Any comments? Thanks.

Yes. Six .32's have about 10% more stopping power than five .38's -- I'll be back tomorrow to post a link. I'm having difficulty finding it now and I'm have a hard time keeping my eyes open.

FUD is absolutely right. You have almost half the recoil in the .32 than from a +P 38. (with guns of essentially equal weight). The bottom line is that you can shoot 6 well controlled shots in the same time that you can spray 5 +Ps.

Shot placement-not the power of the cartridge- is the only thing that counts in a gunfight.
