Talk:.32 S&W

can you help me?
Dear sir, I have one short gun from my friend and also S&W. The letter on it has something like this; .32 automatic smith and wesson special combat No.33311 Can you tell something about her to me? Thank you for your kindness Best Regards Patomsub Th. Thailand —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.47.72.24 (talk) 09:49, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

.32 automatibc is a rimless cartridge, not the same as .32 S & W. A model number would help, too.68.231.184.217 (talk) 15:22, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

C & R?
I have heard that the .32 S & W (commonly referred to as a .32 short) is no longer readily available. Reloads Only. This has placed it into, in the U.S, the Curio and Relic classification. So, any gun chambered for it is also a C & R, and, hence, not by Federal law, a :"firearm". It makes it the same as an antique; not subject to firearms restrictions. This will include many old Iver-Johnsons, etc, even if made and/or patented after 1898. Anyone have a Quote for this?68.231.184.217 (talk) 15:20, 24 June 2011 (UTC)


 * My understanding is that the firearms become curios & relics, not the cartridges, and that the guns are still firearms; the C&R laws exist to make it easier for people to trade and build up a collection of C&R firearms without having to register as a firearms dealer. 146.199.167.24 (talk) 22:31, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Assassinations?
Why is it worth noting its usage in assassinations? I say we delete that section of this article, it is unnecessary. MountainJew6150 (talk) 21:08, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
