Hi, does anyone know if you can shoot the Hornady 32 H&R Mag. FTX critical defense 80 gr. ammo in a Colt 32 Detective Special Snubnose? Is it too powerful a load for that gun?

We report, you decide.

But as rufe says, you can't "use" .32 H&R in a .32 long gun. Same deal as .357 vs .38, they lengthened the cartridge to keep it out of old guns. I would not rechamber an old .32 Hand Ejector.
The Numrich cylinders were for the specials.
