When I saw that Lipseys and S&W partnered together on the new Ultimate Carry, I knew that I had to grab one.

No ugly lock hole, actual sights and good grips, I was sold.

About 10 years ago I had a 642 but was never super confident with the recoil from +P 38s.

Exile Armory posted a video saying that they got in a 632UC, I called them up and put down a deposit.
I picked it up the day before I went on vacation so I haven’t had an opportunity to shoot it yet.

Really curious and excited to try the 32H&R magnum, from what I’ve read, it is the perfect snubnose cartridge in terms of recoil and the added +1 capacity over the more common 38/357 snubs.

Before I had the gun, I reached out to famed holster maker Robert Mika and had him make me a pocket holster.

Nice little piece. Is that aluminum frame?

Correct, it’s a standard Airweight that took honors classes

Man that is sweet. J frames are the ultimate pocket carry.

Keep us posted on how you like it.

What ammo you toting? Hornady Federal?

I really love my j-frames and carry them a lot. That +1 of the .32H&R has really piqued my interest

85Gr JHP from Federal, the reading I’ve done has said that the bullet is actually a 85Gr Hornady XTP

I’m hoping more manufacturers pick up the 32H&R and put out some 32 ammo, maybe wishful thinking on my part.

Buy a gun and see Amber. Makes for a good trip.

Yesssssir.

Guns and pretty women...no wonder I am not wealthy! Oh, well...

Nice pistol AU

Nice. I recently picked up a LCR in 38 +P. My first snub nose. Ive always carried an auto but it has some advantages that better suit my current situation.

That thing should shoot 32 s&w longs, 32 s&w and 32 ACPs. My 327 will along with 32 h&r making both very versatile. I even have a load I've played with that consists of a soft cast 00 pellet, pushed through a .314 sizer, loaded in a 32 S&W case over a few grains of trail boss. It's like a 22LR that you can easily reload.

I’m pretty excited to give it a whirl

I find myself grabbing a small revolver to carry all the time due to just how compact and easy to pocket carry they are. Nice one AU!

Great article on this guns development

Really cool article and one slick snub.

Exile got in two more UC’s

The black 432 and a silver 632

That’s a sharp setup there

What’s one of those set you back?

$700

Ouch. I still want one though 😎

Brand new 442/642 is $450-$500ish+transfer and/or tax
The standard 442/642 kinda sucks, horrible sights and uncomfortable grips and a trigger weight pull fit for a body builder

I don’t think the Ultimate Carry is an awful price compared to the run of the mill Jframe when comparing new VS new.

Ehh, your point isn’t completely lost on me. I’ll have to lay hands on one to see for myself if it speaks to me & if the upgrades justify the cost IMO. Have not bought a revolver in many years & If memory serves I paid approximately $300 ea for my 642 & 442 better than 20 or 25 years ago. $700 is friggin high. Do hope they sell a ton & glad they don’t have the silly lock in the side plate

Heck i sent my 442 to gundoc, and for a few dollas, you can actually hit something with that bastage 😆 Trigger was so heavy on mine it wouldn't even read on his gauge lol

Me too that’s a nice looking piece

Laid hands on two of ‘em today. Surprisingly no price difference between blued or SS finish. Steep though at $725 each, 38 or .32. I liked it, but was easy pass for me. Maybe at end of year when I can spend CC rewards $ for it

Nice!
