If you go to the S&W website you will see the custom clips for revolvers go from four to six dollars each. However to make money you have to sell thousands of them. Have you measured the head space or actually tried to shoot it? The clips are an interesting idea. 32 S&W that I need for another side project I am working on for my own amusement. Can anyone offer any help in solving this mystery?īTW, in a most curious side note, I am actually hoping that it is NOT a Long. I have no clue if it's safe for smokeless powder or not, when it was made, or even really what caliber it is. Always best to be safe!Īnyway, as you have probably surmised, I am wondering what exactly I have here. The seller was confident that it was, and made me fill out a 4478, which I had no problem with. Does anyone have any data about these guns, when they were made, what they were chambered for, and so on? I am guessing that based on the serial number it's a later gun, maybe even post 1900. As such, it is possible that this gun is chambered for the Long cartridge, but I am wondering if it really was. 32 S&W Long came out in 1896, and F&H lasted until 1902. They cylinder is bored clean through with no "shelf" for where the case mouth would be, but I remember that a lot of old time revolvers were like that since they headspaced on the rim anyway and there was no perceived need to put such a feature in them.Īlso, according to Wikipedia, which is always a suspect source. While these rounds will indeed chamber in the gun, the extractor does not extend far enough to pop them out of the cylinder. So, I cleaned it, put it away in my safe, and have not given it much thought for several years.īut now, here is where my confusion starts. But, the first and only time I fired it, it would not consistantly go "bang" seeming to get some light primer hits. Action is tight, and works perfectly, and the lockup is as snug as can be. The pistol is in excellent condition, I'd say his has 90% of its original nickel finish intact, and small spots where it is missing don't look so bad. The grips are hard rubber with a stylized F&H on them above an American sheild. The back of the clyinder has the last 4 digits of the serial number on it, and 22 in the star extractor just below those numbers. The top of the barrel is marked with two lines.įOREHAND ARMS CO. I am wondering if anyone can help me learn more about a top break pocket pistol I own made by Forehand and Wadsworth.
