It’s a good time to be a snub fan, or a .32 Mag fan, and I’m both. Seriously, what a good situation.
While it may be a little thing to the general gun public, i appreciate the fine detail work on things like those grips. And the VZs. The first time I dry fired my UC, the trigger reach is the thing that hooked me. I didn’t have to adjust my thumb for the tip of my trigger finger to clear. That alone made the entire purchase worthwhile.
Details.
Appreciate the background, and the explanations of everything. I’ve been waiting to compare the 32HR steel cylinder with the Ti cylinder. This podcast (and anything else you might share), helps. My old hands, in .38 Airweight J’s, definitely prefer wadcutters recoil. Thanks again and best.
Another good podcast gentlemen and the video on this is much improved over the last one! I really enjoy getting all the background on how these guns come to be and some of the considerations in how it came to be.
@DB, I think you stated you use the Buffalo Bore 32 S&W Long wadcutters in one of the carry guns. Have you ever tried Buffalo Bore’s 115 grain flat nose in 32 S&W Long instead? If you have, what were your thoughts on it?
Thank you both for this video, it led me to purchasing the 432 UC TI revolver, my first 32. I plan for this to be my concealed carry gun most of the time. Just before I bought the gun last weekend, I ordered 3 boxes online of the Federal Hydra-shok Deep 85 grain for my defensive carry. When I got the gun home and read the manual, I was very disappointed to read on page 13 that S&W states, “Do not use magnum loads with bullet weights less than 120 grains, this will reduce the possibility of premature erosion in titanium alloy cylinders. Now I don’t know what to do, I have never owned a TI gun before and was hoping you could advise me if I need to go with a different defense load and what a good option is? I would not mind having a couple different choices for carry purposes.
In 32 H&R you’re fine. That was written for 357 and stayed in the literature. The 32 is lower pressure than 38+P so shoot whatever you want except the BB+P stuff.
Thank you BrYan, I appreciate your response. I am glad I can shoot the new Hydro-shok deep. Can you tell me given the Ti cylinder, is there a suggested cleaner/lubricant advise?
For cleaner I like Gunfighter Cleaner and Lube. We aren’t sponsored but I use the crap out of their stuff. It’s all almost food grade non toxic and it works. Get nylon cleaning brush for 30cal and elbow grease. The Gunfighter cleaner is good stuff and it’s water soluable.

Good deal that what we hoped to achieve and wanted to from the onset.

you need to give the weight of the gun both loaded and unloaded. for both versions/ how much total weight are you saving by going to Ti?
Total about 4oz
