Can all 32 ammo be shot in these?

if you're referring to 32S&W short and long then the answer is yes , you just need to clean the cylinder after useing the shorter shells ,, same as shooting a 38spe in a 357mag.

I had one of the Ruger 32h&r mag fixed site \Bisleys...you could use short, long, or h&rmag...it seemed to be regulated too and the most accurate with the fire snorting H&R...fun to shoot but other than that a pretty useless gun...traded it away

that same Bisley today would be worth about $600 in excellent condition , and is one of the finest small game revolvers there is

How about 32 short colt? Is there any 32 that can't be shot in it? I really like the Rugers and think I have about 5 of just the 32s in different finishes. I just can't seem to find out what I CAN'T shoot in them as far as 32s.

i can't say about the 32 short colt , never had any of that around to try , some one else will have to answer on that , i have shot 32acp , 32S&W short and long along with the 32H&R mag in mine

and yes before you ask the 32acp can be shot in the same cylinder because it is a semi rimmed cartridge and there is enough of a rim to hold it in place , is there any reason too? , maybe not but i had some ammo so i tried it after checking the reloading manuals to see if the dia. where close enought that i wouldn't be hurting anything , surprising enought it shot prety good

32 short colt and long colt are different size case then the 32 S & W short and long. It might go off but the smaller case might bulge and also leak gases[xx(][:(]

Some were made with an extra cylinder to allow firing the .32-20.
