.32 s&w

The .32 S&W cartridge (also known as the .32 S&W Short) was introduced in 1878 for Smith & Wesson pocket revolvers. It was originally designed as a black powder cartridge. The .32 S&W was offered to the public as a light defense cartridge for "card table" distances.

    If you carry a .32-something revolver, what loads?

    If you should carry a .32—caliber revolver of any such chambering (e.g., .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, .32—20 Winchester, .32 H&R Magnum, .327 Federal Magnum, 8㎜ French Ordnance, et al.) for defense against man and/or beast, what loads do you stoke said with? Why so? Thanks for sharing!
