Got the wild idea I might want one. What’s the good/bad of having one. What else will it chamber besides magnums?

I’ve never fired mine, bought it for conversion only, don’t want to know how good it shoots. But I have been tempted before. Just handling it and knowing the characteristics of the cartridge, I see it as a very useful and handy tool. Lot more oomph (technical term) than a 22 and the package is a single six frame tiny when compared to a Blackhawk. |

The bad: I traded mine off, came to regret, although I did get a Ruger No.1 as a part of the swap

I've had one sine about 1987. Great little revolver. It'll chamber and shoot .32 S&W Long, .32 S&W short, and .32 ACP. I have fired all.
I tended to fire .32 H&R loads that weren't full throttle. More like hot .32 Long loads. Tons of fun.
I tend to load my .44 Mag the same way.

Had one I gave to my son after he finished his SF Q. Loved it. We polished off many a groundhog with it. Lots more real killing power than the 22mag, better trajectory than the 38sp. I tended to load to factory levels with a cast 85gr hp. Wonderful gun without the 327 muzzleblast.

There is no downside to buying a S6 32 Magnum except it probably won't be your last 32 Caliber.
A handloader's dream too. Bumping loads up to 30k is easy and safe in that gun.

That’s all going to change in the next couple of weeks as I have a bearcat coming in 32 h&r. Brass in a couple of flavors 32 mag and 32 short ,cast the same, just waiting! |

We're terrible...
We can't even talk about a factory gun without our minds going to what that factory gun could be turned into.
My last 32 Magnum base gun is headed to become a 38-44 HD.
I suppose we are what we are...

I stayed happily ignorant of how much fun they are for many years. Then a Single-Six and a SP101 fell in my lap. The SP101 was claimed by the wife. The SP101 got an F/O front. The Single-Six may get one of Kelye's pins and if need be, the cylinder can go to 2Dogs. No further changes. Except to buy more bullets.

I have one of the newer bisley models. It is my most accurate Ruger factory single action. The only problem was the factory front sight was too short. A Fermin sight fixed it right up.

While I enjoy seeing & occasionally shooting some of the fine customs out there that the good folks here enjoy,, I'm a bit stubborn in that I tend to not heavily modify many of my Ruger SA's. Most of my mods are easily reversed to factory parts,, or at most,, action work.
That said,, the Ruger .32 H&R Single-Six is a FINE gun. I was gifted one (a Bisley version) over 3 decades ago by my then girlfriend. I immediately found a standard Single-Six used to be used as it's companion shooter version. I kept the Bisley NIB. I also later gifted the pair to my son. But I also found a few others for me to enjoy. In fact,, I have added a few 327's to enhance my stable of the .32's.
Get one,, try it,, enjoy it,, and THEN if it needs any "tweaking" you'll know what you may desire to change.
Down side? Can't recall any.

I don't own it, but have one in my possession right now, just fitted grips for it, for a local customer, it is a bisley, and the frames are perfectly fitted to each other, much better than the two original vaqueros he left me as well, those have a slight step between the grip and cylinder frames, I own the single seven in 327, and it's fitment is very well done also, I have no range report for the single six 32 mag, but you can run 32 mag, 32 long, and short, and I believe 32 acp in this gun.

I'm sure that you'll love owning a 32 Single Six...Get one & don't look back! For me, they're like potato chips, I can't have just one.

All the same benefits that made sense to your grandpa and enticed him to spend his hard-earned bucks on a 32-20.
Ample and effective within its limits, thrifty to shoot, but now in a much easier to reload cartridge.
