Not good! The .32 S&W ("Short") uses a different body diameter, case wall thickness, rim thickness, and has a mild body taper. Some .32 S&W Long chambered revolvers cannot reliably set off the .32 S&W, due to the thinner rim. The difference in rim thickness and body diameter of the short is not considered a safe cartridge to shoot in firearms chambered for any of the larger .32s (.32 S&W Long, .32 H&R, .327 Federal).
