Is the lightweight .32 revolver becoming popular again?

Yes. It sure seems that way.
I have a couple of .32 H&R Mags and kind of keep an eye on .32 Mag trends.
When the Ultimate Carry S&Ws (.38 Spl and .32 H&R Mag) came out at SHOT 2024, they were in demand pretty quick. I would see them for sale now and then with the sellers saying something about how they only had the .38s because the .32s sold immediately. As a matter of fact, I got my used/like new .38 in July that year because the previous owner traded it in to get a .32 Mag.
It’s been the same since. So it started at least then.
There is more .32 Mag ammo now than ever too, I’m pretty sure.
I’ve said for a long time, there are a lot of people who would be better off with a .32 snub than the .38 they have.

I’m seeing more of them on the shelves than I have in years. I just picked up a LCR in .32, have yet to try it out. It weighs maybe 12 oz. I have an SP101 in .327 on order. It’s a great line of cartridges.
Lucky you. I’ve been trying to find a .32 or .327 LCR at a good deal for a while. Congrats.
I know where there is a 327 on the shelf now. A bit of a drive for you. Marion IN. They may ship?

Actually, I think it’s a .32 H&R. I may stop there tomorrow. I’ll check on the price. 399 I think. They have a charter arms .327 and a couple Taurus in .32 or 327. They all look nice.
Sorry to leave you hanging. Unfortunately it was long gone when I went back. Here are a couple pics to keep you motivated.

The .32 H&R began for these H&R revolvers. A sturdy little utility gun for the price point.

The LCR isn’t pretty, but it is light. Stick it in a pocket and forget it’s there.
And they have smooth triggers. The triggers are usually pretty enough for the whole gun.
The pull is surprisingly smooth. The reset leaves me wanting.
You feel a click about half way forward. If you pull again, it will rotate the cylinder without firing. All the way forward, you get a more positive feel and it will fire fine. I’m concerned how it would make someone respond in a crisis. A rush of adrenaline, and they may just stand there clicking and no boom.
Definitely a need to practice, especially for someone new to the sport.
