I picked this one up a couple weeks ago. It's a super nice little Smith M67 trail gun with a shop made 5" barrel chambered in .32 H&R by David Clements. There was the opportunity to buy this little beauty directly from David a few years back as it was advertised for sale on his website. I called and discussed with him and decided to pass. Changed my mind and called back and it was gone. So it goes. When there was another chance I knew I wasn't going to miss again. The revolver wears a little holster rash but nothing bad and I'm sure it won't effect it's function. Here are some pics wearing a set of Culina Amara Ebony magnas or if you prefer some beautiful birdseye maple Ropers by Keith Brown. Keith does these K frame Ropers right. They're what I'd almost call petite ropers as they're somewhere in between the size of the magnas and the S&W target size.     |

That's a beautiful revolver right there!
32 Mag keeps popping up in some very nice guns. THAT one is the nicest I've seen.

Glad you got that one. I thought awful hard about it Thanks, I've got plenty of big stuff and the small calibers are so nice to simply shoot for practice etc... In reality, I'm more likely to shoot a rabbit than a moose on a regular basis too. |

That’s a real beauty and I really like BOTH grips. Those mini-Ropers are awesome, they don’t overpower that little gun like some larger target or combat grips might do.
Enjoy that baby, and I agree that a smaller caliber (easier to carry AND shoot) is more likely to be practiced with and blooded on a regular basis.

Is there a "SUPERWOW" BUTTON on this Forum?

The 32 Magnum is an excellent cartridge for the handloader. At this point, I only have it chambered in a Stainless Single Six.
But, most of the time my 327 Federals see lots of 32 Magnum...

You can sorta' see it in the last photo but the Brown grips have a little flair in the front at he base that really secures your grip.

...very nice gun and another "I thought about it"...but since
a) it's a .32 H&R not .327
and
b) I already have a Huntington 6" .327 Model 53 conversion...
...I decided to put the money elsewhere.
Glad you got it...Bob
