I am preparing an issue for the Cast Bullet Association Jan/Feb issue of The Fouling Shot about the Alfa Pro .32 S&W Long revolver. Anyone who owns or owned one, please let me know your thoughts and experiences. If applicable I might include it in the article.

It is not a very well known revolver. For those whom have never heard of it, it is made in the Czech Republic and imported only by Czechpoint (who are better known for their semi-auto rifles). They are much better in person than any online photo may suggest.

I am not interested in your experiences with the .32 S&W Long cartridge, just the revolver, that is for another post, please.

I can't even find a decent review of them. Price is nice but I would want to see the quality before spending any money.

I was in the same boat as you were in, there is just so little information out there. I bit the cast bullet and bought one. You will just have to wait to the article with photos & testing.

I know I will be eagerly awaiting the review. Coming from a former firearms instructor and a caster I know it will have some value. Too many reviews are glorified advertising.

You'll get an "A" for originality on that one for sure! Apparently a much-needed review.

No, sir. In the dark until mentioned here. I would enjoy the 32 in 4" or 6", if they could come in to CA (they cannot). Their price seems almost too good to be true.

New company to me, always trying to learn, the Czech's traditionally make great firearms. I do have a spell Czech on my computer though... just kidding, sorry!

Not getting many responses on here or the CBA forum, actually only one had some experience with a .22 LR model Alfa Proj. I think many people will be surprised and interested when the article comes out in the Jan/Feb article of The Fouling Shot. With .32 S&W Long revolvers being very scarce, I think this one fills a real need. There is still quite a following of this cartridge, even with the .32 H&R Mag & .327 Fed Mag.

The cartridge is great, but where do you get to feel the revolver? Not only did I never hear of it, none of my gunny friends did either, nor either of the local gun shops.

The distributor, Czechpoint, has only the 3" barrel in stock and as far as I know, I got the last 6" available new in the box. The good news is you can order direct. But where you may find them on a dealers shelf, I have no idea. When I tried to order one direct from them, they said the 3" & 4" were the only ones in stock. They gave me the name of the only 2 online dealers that sold them and when I contacted them, one was out and the other luckily had one 6" left. Czechpoint had told me that they would have more in sometime in early 2017, however the dealer I bought the 6" from said they had told him a similar story when he wanted to place a second order. It took almost 18 months before they got them. In contacting the factory in the Czech Republic, they indicated in a roundabout way that they were looking a new distributor.

Never heard of such either.

It's a bit out of my wheelhouse but, always enjoy learning more.

A decent 32 S&W Long revolver would suit me right to the ground. This is one of the "Grails" I am mildly questing for--a higher-order revolver in this chambering. California's handgun regs complicate that chase markedly, in their present status an ideal example would be a post-war S&W I/J-frame with 4" barrel made between 1946-1967. That gives a heat-treated cylinder--better fixed sights--and is outside the "50 years old" rubric of CA's Handgun Roster elements. Law As Kabuki Theater. Of course, a 6" S&W Model 16, or Colt I-frame would work also. Scarce, all of the above.
