I just traded for a model 32 with a 4 inch barrel. Its used but taken care of and even still has the factory box. I have a couple questions about it I'm hoping someone here could answer. First, are there any companies that make speedloaders for a model 32? What about holsters? Also, I had $225 in the gun I traded for the Model 32. Did I get a good deal in the trade? Does anyone know an average value on one in good condition? I've looked on a couple gun auction sites and haven't found any for sale to go by.

If you traded a gun you had $225 into for a DW .32 Mag you hit the jackpot!

Finding barrel assemblies will be pretty challenging, however.

Welcome to the Forum

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Welcome to the Forum; very good deal on that trade.  I recently picked up a .32 for $500. Lets see some cool-pics

You got a steal of a deal.  That gun at auction if it's in nice condition will bring $800+ at auction.  Post up a photo when you get a chance.

This is a quick picture I took of it earlier. The finish does show a little wear in spots but the only big spot is a ding just above the left side of the grip which you can see in the picture. I traded an EAA Witness 45 for it. I gave $200 for the Witness and had put $25 in it buying a new recoil spring and magazine to get it to feed reliably.

To answer two of your questions: speed loaders for the Smith "K" frames will work just fine. Holsters? look for ones for the Colt Python. I don't know if holsters for Smith "K" frames will fit but would be worth a check.

Greetings

Sounds like a super deal on the .32.

Had my DW 32-20 out Monday popping away 5.5 and 6 grain loads of Unique under a 115 GC bullet.  Really spits out those little plugs with authority.

Good to hear from you Mike. How long are you going to be north of the equator.
