You might worry about it if your gun, that you bought brand new and spent good money on, was one of the ones that didn't function correctly and is now unusable for its intended purpose. Some of the...

That sucks, good idea.

Interestingly, the firing pin on my 632UC is different than the one in my 340 M&P and 642 and I suspect may be at least partially responsible for many of the reported...

I would love to see testing of this load to see what the penetration of the bullet @ 900 fps is. The comments in the product description are less than confidence inspiring, IMO. Some actual...

It might not be the gun. I have experienced light strikes with Magtech 32 S&W Long ammo, as have others here. Mine were in a S&W Model 31-1 that I shot a fair amount of rounds through and had no...

Not really. I'd want to inspect any Model 12 before purchase, especially the area of the frame under where the barrel screws in. The frame crack, as in post 38, can be found on any Model 12 but...

Had one. MUCH prefer the 632UC.

Maybe, but I'm not so sure I would agree with that as a general statement as I can envision a situation(s) where it would be justifiable. YMMV.

Not saying this was a good shooting, I don't know...

I would try an Apex J frame Duty/Carry kit. Use the springs that come in the kit and install the longer firing pin as well. That will likely solve the problem for $30. assuming you don't have to pay...

I don't think anyone here was disputing the fact that what you hit is more important than what you hit it with, nor was there any attempt to debate a "caliber war". I agree with your views on the .22...

The good news is no innocent citizens or officers were injured or killed (even though the officer used an occupied mini van for cover). Sadly, really poor performance is seen more frequently than not...

That sucks. My rear sight was slightly left of center when I received it and shot a bit left @ the range (not 7"-8" of impact @ 10 yards though). Tapped it over to center and it is now dead on. ...

IMO a longer barrel may help it penetrate further, but I seriously doubt it will make it the preferred 14-16 inches (if it expands) in 10% ordnance gel. Depending on your intended usage and...

I recently purchased a 632UC. It has 355 rounds through it, about half of which were 32 S&W Long and the other half 32 H&R Magnum. It shoots incredibly well and is the best snub nose revolver I...

The penetration seems to be rather shallow. Hornady shows the bullet traveling 9.75 inches in ballistic gel, covered by heavy clothing, from a 2.5 inch revolver. Personally, I don't believe a...

I have also experienced hard primers in their 32 S&W Long ammo.

Several knowledgeable people have commented in this thread warning folks to avoid .22/.25 guns for self defense. Their advice is not based on ballistic gel results, it is based on real world...

Thanks, Tom. Totally agree with your thoughts on carrying a .22 for self defense.

The Glock G22 Gen 5 is suprisingly soft shooting (I have not fired the G23 Gen 5) for a 40 S&W pistol and would be my recommendation. Much less perceived recoil than previous Gen Glocks, or any other...

Thanks. My light strikes in the 31-1 were with Magtech also.

What commercial ammo did you have the light strikes with? I have experienced light strikes in 32 S&W Long in a Model 31-1 with foreign ammunition that I suspect had hard primers.

Me too.

I have a Dillon Precision range bag (blue) that I have had since the early nineties. It traveled quite a bit to matches back in the day and has seen heavy use and heavy load outs. Still in use today...

For those that expressed an interest in the 25 Auto Federal Punch, Midway has it in stock.
