Source of .32 Long Colt?

[CountryGent]

My father-in-law was recently here and he mentioned he could not locate .32 Long Colt ammunition for an older revolver he owns. I believe he said a Colt Pocket Positive.

Would anyone know of a source of loaded cartridges? I'm not turning up much.

Also, I've read contradictory information as to if .32 S&W Long can be safely used in revolvers chambered for the Colt cartridge. Does anyone know the correct answer on this?

Thanks much.

These guys say both cartridges are basically the same, in fact S&W started making this ammo for the Colt originally
Midway has plenty of 32 long ammo

Thanks for the article.

I did a bit more digging, and The Big Book of Gun Trivia, put out by Osprey, has a table show cartridge interchangeability of the too. Just passing it along in case it helps someone down the road. Cheers.
