Well, stopped in my favorite shop yesterday, actually found some powder and .22LR, and bought a pretty good CZ-50. Finish is worn, but no rust, bright bore, etc. Couldn't go wrong for $180. Took her to the range this morning. As many have stated, DA trigger is tight, but the SA is pretty good. Accurate pistol. I did get several FTF, which I'm blaming on the mag. Shooting Privi Partizan 71 gr ball. Ordered a couple mags, so we'll see. Oh, the decocker worked fine. I've heard that these sometimes fire the pistol, but no problem with mine. A plug for the store: Olde English Outfitters in Ginghamsburg, OH. Great shop.
32L
a H&R 32 Long was my first gun, given to me by my father. Looks just like this one:

I love it! Very fun to shoot, if you can find ammo

Nice revolver! Re ammo: I roll my own, and components are readily available for .32 S&W Long.
I have an old Arminius snubbie in .32 Long that was my Grandad's. Not the highest quality gun in the world, but it locks up tight and is surprisingly accurate. Not to mention that it is a blast to shoot!
For whatever reason, I have had a hankering for a SAA style .32-20 for a while now. Have been looking at one of the Taylor's Cattleman 4¾". Maybe I can get one from "Mrs. Claus".

Cripes!!! How did this thread sneak by me?
I am/ Have developed a weakness for 32 cal guns.
I have a few and will no doubt collect some more. Every one I have tried shoots real well and not allot of people are on the 32 band wagon. So deals can be found on some good shooters. If you keep your eye out.
Just got my 1st 32-20 and my 1st Colt. A Police special positive. Sweet shooting little gun and I kind of like this 32-20. I had never shot one. It surprised me. Now I just need to find a lever gun in 32-20.
Wife's beside gun is a Taurus 327 mag. Great little gun. Allows 32L training while still giving enough whoop Arse to stop a meth head if I am not home.
Then I have a H&R in 32 S&W L. Picked it up at a gun show for like 80 bucks.
Shoots real well. For the price they are great guns to have. Every one should have two or three
oops almost forgot... I have a Stevens Friendly in 32 Long Colt Rim fire.
I havent fired it yet, But it looked cool and was a 32 so I got it.
Still hunting for more.

I have a bunch of .32 autos, and a .32 acp derringer, but no revolvers.
I have been looking for a decent priced .32 S&W long revolver for years. They seem pretty scarce, unless you want to spend big bucks.

Seem a bunch of us have a P32 as an "always" gun. Count me as one also. It's my BUG to a .45 ACP, but it's there even if for some reason the .45 is not. Only ACPs for me though, the KT and a Colt 1903, though I've been interested in both a .32 H&R mag AND a .327 Federal, and still could be persuaded with the right prices.
Too bad about the grips on the Savage. So many of those are cracked, a lot of them because folks didn't know how to take them off and tried prying them.
(FWIW, Savage, Remington, and S&W had to invent new ways of attaching the grips because some nasty person whose initials were John Browning had patented the idea of holding pistol grips on with screws!)

Colt 1903,Savage 1907 and Vz 61 Skorpion pistol here. Still want a Walther PP.
Love my NAA Guardian in .32 acp. After some initial problems which NAA sorted out beautifully (zero cost, even threw in two free magazines), I have found it totally reliable and a pleasure to shoot. I've carried it in a leather vest with cc pocket on several cross-country motorcycle trips. OK, it isn't a .40 or a .45 - but I believe it would get someone's attention promptly if the occasion arose.

Got a SW 432 and an SW 632 SS comp'ed barrel in 327. Both are great guns.
The 432 is a nice 6 shot light weight J frame for your pocket.
