RE: pistol
I'd say it was probably chambered for the the .32 short, original load had an 80gr. bullet with 9grs. of blackpowder. If it was chambered for the .32 long, it had a 90gr. bullet with 12-13grs. of blackpowder. :D Don't sound like much, but if the chips were down and that's all I had in my pocket, I'd gladly take it. Guess that .32 short rimfire was a fairly popular round in it's day. Book says it was a pretty good small game round out to about 50yds., well, that would be in the rifles chambered for it.
