I couldn't find it on Lipsey's website yet but here's a video about it.
Yes they are making a 38 version but who cares about that? It’s the 32 that everyone wants.

Only until “everyone” has to scurry around trying to find .32 ammo to feed it, and then suddenly the .38 Spc variant is the gun “everyone” wants.

Is that the one that Jeff Cooper wrote about, IE .32 S+W if they notice you have shot them, they may be angry? Something along those lines. I would like to explore the hot .32's always loved the little pipsqueak, the modern magnum .32's have some serious snort. I do love the old 03 Colt too.

I would actually consider one of the six-round .32s. Looks like a quality S&W revolver...I especially like the sights.

Hopefully someone will start making ammo available again in all the .32 revolver calibers.

If a fellow shoots an "oddball" cartridge like 32 ... the rewards of handloading open a world of enjoyment.
Your pals here are waiting to help you learn how. It's not just to save money, it's enjoyable like the satisfaction of grilling your own steak or joy getting a broken bolt out of an engine block successfully.

My favorite pistol right now is an old Ruger 32 H&R Magnum. Even in that substantial steel frame, a stout Ruger Only load makes you wonder why anyone would light off a .327 in a light weight snub nose. OW!!!!

Then you tame the power downwards and your lips curl up in a huge smile. Now you know why people like .32 Long. You have to shoot it to really understand.
