Is this revolver still functional?
Yes – all police trade-ins are gunsmith-inspected for proper timing, lockup, and safety function before sale.
Where can I buy .32 S&W ammo?
We stock .32 S&W ammunition – recommend standard pressure loads for these older revolvers.
What’s included with purchase?
Revolver only – no box or papers. These were issued firearms, not commercial retail products.
How’s the bore condition?
Bores show typical use but strong rifling – these were maintained by armorer services.
