I wish they made a 4” light weight with 6+ shots in .327/.32 ACP. Like the old Colt Viper. Most .327’s will shoot .32ACP fine. Forget the dimensional drawings, it is a bit sloppy fit but usually works fine. Just check it in the gun first. Point to the sky to eject and all will be well. The semi-rims are very small and can jump the extractor if you point it down exacerbating effects of gravity.
Almost zero recoil and a 60 gr. JHP at close to 1000 fps. The .327 at near 1500 fps is vicious in muzzle blast! I used .38 full wadcutters as defensive ammo for my wife for years. Very low recoil and you can’t get a bigger impact meplat!
Lots of unique used values in .32 out there. This is a 1920s Colt Picket Positive 2.5”. They made it up to 6”! An assortment of custom ammo, .32 Long wad cutters, .32 ball and JHP, .32 Short (rimmed .32 ACP basically) with 100 gr. cast HP.
