FAQs

1) What is .32 S&W Long

A).32 S&W Long (often written .32 S&W Long or .32 Long S&W) is a rimmed revolver cartridge developed from the original .32 S&W Short as a longer, higher-velocity service cartridge in the late 19th / early 20th century common in police and pocket revolvers through the mid-20th century.

2) Are these loads reloadable?

A)Yes, the cases used in our 32 Smith & Wesson long ammo are reloadable when the brass is inspected and properly reconditioned. Reloading should only be performed by knowledgeable reloaders who follow safe published load data.

3) What is Steinel’s satisfaction guarantee?

A)Steinel stands behind the manufacturing quality of its ammunition. If you encounter a defect or performance issue with commercially reasonable use, contact our customer support with lot information for evaluation and remedy.

4) Where did the .32 S&W Long come from?

A)The Long evolved from the .32 S&W (Short) to provide better ballistics and a longer effective range while keeping a compact case suitable for small revolvers. It later formed the starting point for higher-pressure family members such as .32 H&R Magnum and, more recently, the .327 Federal Magnum.

5) Is .32 Long S&W the same as .32 Long Colt or .32 ACP?

A)No do not confuse them

• .32 S&W Long / .32 Long S&W = this cartridge.
• .32 Long Colt = a separate, older Colt/Winchester rimmed cartridge with different dimensions.
• .32 ACP (7.65 Browning) = a rimless semi-auto pistol cartridge and not interchangeable.
  Always use the exact cartridge name stamped on the barrel or cylinder to avoid dangerous mixups.

6) Can I fire .32 S&W (Short) in a gun chambered for .32 S&W Long? What about the other way round?

A) Yes for one direction, no for the other

• .32 S&W Short → .32 S&W Long: Yes. The shorter S&W Short will chamber and fire in a Long chamber because the rim/headspace is the same. Expect reduced velocity and different point of impact.
• .32 S&W Long → .32 S&W Short: No. A .32 Long will not fit into a Short chamber.

Important: While shorter cartridges will often fire, doing so repeatedly in a firearm can lead to fouling, loose case support, and accuracy loss use appropriately sized ammo when possible.
