Our last purchase was a .32 H&R Mag Single Six that started us on our quest for the ultimate .32 field gun. The quest continues and is getting a bit out of control. we now have four.
A S&W 631 for $995 is a bargain in today's market. Paid way more than that for mine at the Tulsa show a few years back. That revolver has led to a couple of Single Sixes in .32 Mag. and meeting the...
Back in the day, Colt branded 1911 mags were the gold standard (don't know who actually made them); we preferred the satin nickel finished one as they seemed to be "slicker" and were easier to clean...
.32 H&R is our favoritein either a 631 S&W or the custom Single Six shown here with the RW Grip Frame.

Both my son (as a guide) and my wife and I (as cooks) worked in the Grizzly country west of Bondurant for several years. We all had .44 mags handy most of the time when in camp and afield....

For those with more experience than I here's a question. What are you loading in your .32 H&R for an XTP load? Loaded some of each with W231 and my 4 5/8" Single six shoots groups that look like...
We've just recently been bitten by the .32 H&R Mag bug. Have a S&W 631 as well as two Single sixes. One shown here and the other in limbo in Idaho at a gunsmith's. Cool little cartridge.

The only cast bullets we've ever used for PDs and gophers has been out of handguns. .45, .38 Super, 9mm, .357 &.44 Mag and this year, if the gun is done. .32 H&R Mag out of a Ruger Single Six. Out of...
The last two guns we've purchased were a pair of Ruger Single Sixes in .32 H&R The one is a project that's been in ID for going on two years now and the other is in TX. Patience is a virtue.

Diamond-D's Guides Choice or the Galco Great Alaskan get my vote.
