So I'm a 32 cal fan.... Haven't acquired any DW 32s yet. Not really sure how many different 32s DW offered. Ole Dog mentioned a good bit that I didn't know about. What else is out there? Let me know!

AFAIK, 32 and 732 in assorted barrel lengths and styles, 32 Field Pistol pack which has 2 slotted VH shrouds scoped and unscoped. Monson, Palmer and Norwich all made 32 mag. The Norwich are the bomb IMHO. Also 32-20 in blue and stainless. I have a 32-20 cylinder I am going to put in a cylinder assembly for one of the field pistol packs. I don't think they made a 327 Federal but the cylinder is long enough to ream one out.

I have a 32 with 4" and 8" barrels. Great gun. I have several .32s of various brands. I had the cylinder reamed to accept .327 mag ammo. Not the least bit worried about the increase in pressure. DW strong like bull. They are out there but $$$. You wont regret the purchase. Shooting .32 longs in it is almost like a pellet gun 🙂

My 32.20 and a pair of 32s. Still waiting to find a 732.20 but it's out there somewhere...

This is one caliber that I have not vested into yet.

On the left is an IHMSA Field Pistol Pack and on the right is a First Issue. These are the finest .32 cal. revolvers I own, except for my Freedom Arms Model 97, 327 Fed.

That one is maybe overpriced. 2000 is about what they have been going for. Two years earlier they were 1500.

I think the seller has 2 on gunbroker now. He has already sold several of this bunch as they started out in a better condition than is offered now. I feel that the IHMSA guns in this production run are NOT the best product Dan Wesson produced. The action on my revolver was quite gritty and the frame has a touch of Barney.
On the other hand, the First Series is smooth as butter and is a tack driver. The barrel is the 10 groove style.
Edit: Of the 2 listed on Gunbroker now, one is a 32 the other is 357...sorry.

Wolff springs, seem to help the action. Especially the trigger return spring. A little smoothing of the inside frame and sideplate can help too. Barney can strike any blue Dan, even Norwich. In fact all blue Dans have a different color frame than sideplate when looked at in sunlight. Even, dark Barney is not too offensive,ssome even like it, but shades of pink are off putting. The investment cast frame reacts to the bluing salts differently than the sideplate of shroud.

Could not figure out my user name or password for this site so had to create a new one......
My first center-fire revolver was a 4" Dan Wesson in .357 Magnum and I regret trading that one off.
This past week however I picked up a few guns from a friend who asked me to sell them for him......I do a bit of selling on GunBroker so I went over to look at what he had.
There were several Winchester Commemorative lever actions and a few handguns including a Dan Wesson in a white foam box.
The box contained a 6" Blue finish DW with full underlug and low an behold chambered in .32-20......I had NO idea DW offered this chambering.
I am not educated on DW and doing a bit of research I find the .32-20 are fairly scarce......wondering if these were special order or offered in the catalog??
Appreciate any knowledge you might offer.....
