== Well done! ==

This is an above average quality article! Only gripe is the oft quoted "free lunch" statement which usually implies a particular (favorite) round hits harder while simultaneously has less recoil & muzzle blast. Perception is one thing, laws of physics quite another. Yes, this is slightly oversimplified ('hit harder' may imply a bullet expends all it energy in the target while a compared round's bullet may over penetrate leaving much energy effectively unharnessed), but statements like that are always overly optimistic.

Still, it is a great article! It covers the material well.

Six in a 5-shot sized cylinder

I suggest that the article explain that there is interest in the cartridge because its chambering allows six rounds in cylinders that hold five rounds of .38/.357, such as S&W J-frames and the Ruger SP-101. The introduction does indicate that the round is designed to fit in a six-shot compact revolver, but it should be made clearer that six .32 cartridges can fit into a five-shot .38/.357 sized cylinder. After all, what other reason is there really for this round?--Ana Nim (talk) 17:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added a bit in the into paragraph. That enough, or do you think it's worthy of more discussion in the body? scot (talk) 17:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think that makes it clear. Thank you.--Ana Nim (talk) 21:02, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the parent cartridge from .32 S&W to .32 H&R Magnum. Anharmyenone (talk) 05:01, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shameless advertising

I removed the Ruger ad copy that was found under the 'firearms' section. Also, I don't see any mention of this round's well-known ability to put cancer into remission and revive the recently dead. Perhaps someone could work that in somewhere. --71.54.208.211 (talk) 05:07, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well done!

This is an above average quality article! Only gripe is the oft quoted "free lunch" statement which usually implies a particular (favorite) round hits harder while simultaneously has less recoil & muzzle blast. Perception is one thing, laws of physics quite another. Yes, this is slightly oversimplified ('hit harder' may imply a bullet expends all it energy in the target while a compared round's bullet may over penetrate leaving much energy effectively unharnessed), but statements like that are always overly optimistic.

Still, it is a great article!
