Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of carrying a revolver like the Smith & Wesson 432 UC?

The Smith & Wesson 432 UC offers a lightweight (16 oz) and compact design, making it easy to conceal. Its hammerless nature prevents snagging, and the .32 H&R Magnum caliber provides manageable recoil for effective self-defense.

What is the recommended method for reloading a revolver during a self-defense situation?

For revolvers, speed strips are recommended for carrying spare ammunition. These allow for loading two rounds at a time, which is faster than individual rounds and more compact than traditional speed loaders for everyday carry.

Why does Ryan HATES appendix carry, and what are his concerns?

Ryan expresses concern that appendix carry positions the firearm directly at vital areas like the femoral artery and reproductive organs. While acknowledging its speed and popularity, he prefers alternative carry methods due to these perceived risks.

What type of ammunition is recommended for self-defense with a .32 H&R Magnum revolver?

For self-defense, the DoubleTap 60-grain Barnes Tac XP solid copper hollow-point is suggested. Its monolithic construction and large hollow point are expected to expand rapidly, providing effective stopping power while minimizing over-penetration risks.
