32 ammo ?
Recently acquired a taurus 327 fed mag.
i have a whole bag of 32 COLT NP REM-UMC Stamped ammo
(from my grandfathers days).

I think they would work but more likely worth more to a collector that the cost of new loaded ammo. Will be a very weak loading, be careful of squibs if shooting double action. 0 -
It sounds like you have the .32 Colt New Police (NP). Cartridges of the World says that is the same cartridge as the .32 Smith & Wesson Long, but with a flat nosed bullet. .32 S&W Long: case diameter .335, case length 0.93.
The Lyman Reloading Handbook, ed. 47, also shows the .32 S&W Long and the .32 Colt New Police (NP) as being the same cartridge.0 -
Be aware there was 32 Colt Short Centerfire and 32 Colt Long Centerfire
Both of these cartridges have a smaller diameter case then THE 32S&W . if you use either COLT cartridge You could split the case [V]. The colt rounds work in a great little Marlin lever action that came with 2 firing pins one for the Colt Cartridges and the other for 32 Short Rimfire and 22Long Rimfire.The colt cartridges would fit the magazine tube cutout the S&W cartridges would not "TOO FAT". When all 4 choices of ammo became hard to find I sold my little Jewel.[:(]0 -
'back in the day', Colt would not put 'S&W" on their revolvers so they came up with "Colt New Police" it is the same as .32 S&W functionaly. certainly different than .32 Colt. 0 -
