About
The .32 S&W Ammo, also known as the .32 S&W Short, was a pocket cartridge designed and made available to the markets in 1878. This black powder bullet was offered a light defense in card table distances to the public. The Union Metallic Cartridge Company originally designed the .32 S&W Ammo. However, after the 1940s, the .32 S&W Ammo was loaded with smokeless powder. Due to its small size, this low-powered bullet is perfect for compact and concealable weapons. The .32 S&W Ammo was judged as the bare minimum for self-defense and thus was ruled unsuitable for police work. Even though the .32 S&W Ammo was considered less than optimal for self-defense at first, its improvements over the years made it a popular choice for the gentlemen's vest gun. The .32 S&W Ammo has an overall length of 23mm, and the bullet diameter measures 7.9mm. The heaviest variant of the .32 S&W Ammo is the 98-grain bullet load which can travel at a velocity of 705 feet per second while creating an energy level of 115 ft.lbf.
