Sometimes.. they DO fall in your lap
Someone found out I was loading and tinkering with the 327 Frderal, and got me in touch with someone who was tired of the lack of ammo availability and wanted to offload another SP101 for a dirt cheap price (like police Glock surplus price).

It now joins its “brother” in my collection of random poorly thought out purchases

Nice gun! Useless cartridge.

Re: Sometimes.. they DO fall in your lap
While I agree with Zee on throwing the modern .32 revolver rounds on the "WHY?" pile, you can't really pass on free/cheap for a quality all-steel gun when you're already making ammo for it.bullsi1911 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 25, 2025 12:59 pm It now joins its “brother” in my collection of random poorly thought out purchases

I don't know about useless. My wife has carried a SW 431 PD .32 H&R Mag. for 2 decades now. She doesn't shoot it much, but we did some testing with it when new.it was impressive on water jugs and totally ruined a hogs day.
Re: Sometimes.. they DO fall in your lap
I wouldn’t be unhappy it that fell in my lap. I acknowledge.32’s may not be the best option but they do have a certain appeal.
Re: Sometimes.. they DO fall in your lap
a 32 wouldn't be my first choice, however I'm not volunteering to get shot with one either
Nice score

If I fell into a SP101 in any chambering for LE trade in Glock prices, I would jump on it as well. Good find!

Looking at the diameter of the barrel vs. the diameter of the bullet, there must be some serious meat around that bore!!!

Re: Sometimes.. they DO fall in your lap
I love the 32 for a few reasons but mostly because it's the first gun I ever bought as an adult (S&W in 32 long.) Also because it kinda falls in the weird category.
