32-20 Sixguns
The light was good today on the porch and I took the portraits of a couple of my 32-20 sixguns. A 1922 Colt Army Special and a mid-30's Smith and Wesson Military and Police. Good sixguns both.
32-20 Sixguns
Used to have a nice bunch of .32-20 shooters:
Bisley 5 1/2 inch(1907)
SAA 5 1/2 inch(1922)
Ruger Buckeye
S&W M&P (5 inch)
Marlin '94 (26 inch, octagonal barel)
Gone, all gone. Sold several when I was unemployed in the mid-2000s to make mortgage payments. I will never again own First Generation Colts.

Is it show and tell. EVERYONE has a nicer .32-20
six-gun than I do... BUT they are FUN to shoot!
The 1905 4th change...

No sixgun here at the moment, but I do have a real neat Browning 53 ... it pops pretty good with a Speer bullet over H110!
Here's mine
32-20 Sixguns & Rifles - I can play too
Both of the rifles have been relined by me, they were refinished before I got them. Both are accurate and fun to shoot.
Andy Horvath added 32-20 cylinders to a pair of 30 Carbine Rugers, again accurate and fun.
Bought this at the Market Hall gun show in Dallas right after they were available. Very accurate, and heavy.
I did have an old Colt PP but it went in trade for a Ruger 45 Colt at the Market Hall show.

Forgot about my Browning 53 -- gunsmith made an extended magazine for me so I could shoot it in cowboy matches. Ejected brass about 10 feet upward!
Reloading was tough -- crunched about every 10th piece of brass. .44-40 was much more forgiving.
Sold the 53 to Paco several years later. Said he was going to use it on 'yotes.

Happened to see a 6 inch, nickeled, round butt S&W
model of 1905 this morning. Serial number was 19xxx-ish putting it in the 1st model of that patent year I believe. Should have asked the guy if I could take a pic now that I think of it.

Wow, a game I can play here.
Marlin 1894 lever.
S&W K-frame 6"
Cimmaron clone of the Colt Single Action Army.
Plus, in the .32 H&R (which I consider a pretty fair substitute for the .32-20), there are:
Ruger Bisley (small frame)
Ruger SP101 4"
Browning Lo-Wall (formerly a .22 Hornet, with the barrel set back one thread and then rebored and rechambered by Dan Pedersen).
I love .32s.
