I've never actually owned one in .32 though, mine was a .38 Special 5-shot. The .32 guns hold a full 6! I have had many Colt Pocket Positives and Pocket DA models, Police Positives, in both .32 "Colt Police" (what Colt called the .32 S&W Long) and .32-20 Win. I still have .32 Long Pocket Positive.
I also have a 4" SP101 in .32 H&R. I don't think I've ever fired a H&R Mag. round through it, only .32 Long and ACP.
BTW usually you can shoot .32 ACP from any .32 S&W, short or long, .32 H&R or .327 Federal. The only issue to look for is a short firing pin, it's a little loose due to the teeny thin rim. SA guns fare well but the DA guns need to be pointed skyward upon ejection to prevent the little rims from jumping the ejector star. But that technique works just fine.
.32 ACP personal defense rounds ARE available, JHP (Hornady Critical Defense, Speer Gold Dots, and Federal Hydra-shocks). You'll likely not see any in .32 Long. As mentioned they shoot fine in my guns.
