Belle Likes

My favorite-est gal, Belle, is a fan of the .32 revolver.  She loves them, she does.  Her current carry is an old Cold D frame in .32-0.  Not the most potent of firearms, but eminently shootable.  She likes it, is comfortable with it, and its okay with me.

She was surfing around this morning and came upon a new .32 revolver, this one from Charter Arms.  They call it the Professional, and Belle likes it a lot.  It is chambered in .32 H&R Magnum, has a 7-shot cylinder,, and weighs just 22 ounces with a 3-inch barrel..

Evidently it was designed in cooperation with Concealed Carry Magazine.



Grabagun has it listed at $404.99 but it is not in stock.  I told them to give me an email when they get one.  Belle already had her card out, ready to order.  I think that she wants to retire the old D frame.

Your wife has good taste (but you already knew that . . . :^) Very nice - I was not aware of it. The .3 H&R is an under-rated cartridge, It can be loaded for plinking, small game hunting and a low recoil personal protection piece. I own a CA Gen 1 Police Target .32 Magnum from the late 1980's. It is very fun to shoot - but factory ammo cost is ridiculous. Hand loads are the solution of course.

Thank you for the link to this,

That's good stuff! Mom picked a nice pocket rocket.

The Ladies in our lives all seem to have impeccable taste.
Mine shoots a Ruger SP 101 3in stainless in 327 Fed Mag. Fun.

Black Hills makes a 85 gr JHP load, factory specs are 1100 fps for 225 ft/lbs energy. About $35/50 rd box. They are currently on backorder at Midway.

Federal also has an 85gr JHP load, specs similiar to Black Hills. It's on backorder at Midway also; $18.95 for 20rds.

Since you already reload, that'll cut your costs considerably!

The .32-20 in revolvers and rifles is a great favorite of mine; in a large frame revolver the rifle loads are no problem and a really flat-shooting varmint load. Woodchucks REALLY don't like it in either my heavy Colts or Marlin rifles... LOL
