442 and 642 with better sights and grips, regulated for .38+P Speer Gold Dot. 632 and 432 in .32 H&R Magnum. The latter guns are six-shot.
I'm kind of meh. I find the alloy-framed .38s to be a bit much, other than with target-load wadcutters. The front tritium sight seems that it might be a bit more snag-prone than the old ramp front tight. On the other hand, if you wanted a non-Lipsey's gun, you might be looking at buying a 442 or 642 for around five or six bills and then putting that much more into it for all of the extras that Lipsey's guns have (trigger job, chamfered cylinders,tritium front sight, rough-country rear sight, etc.).
As for the .32s, I have had no experience with them. One with wadcutters might be pretty sweet. But that would require me to get into another cartridge. If I'm going to get into a sub-.38 revolver, I just might go with an eight-shot .22. But these will probably sell like cold water in Hades, because S&W hasn't made these guns in .32 for a while.
On the other hand, a .32 would give one six shots and the wadcutters should be effective enough. Given that most people won't shoot one of these guns a lot, four boxes of 50 might be a five-year supply.
So yeah, I'm strongly considering one.
MSRP will be about $760. Street (non-GB) price should be less. I figure they'll sell every one that S&W makes for them. At least initially. Lipsey's is promising thst this won't be a "one run and done" gun.
And they're also implying that we ain't seen nothin' yet.
