Looks great- interested in what holsters will work best with the new gun.

So far I've tried these: (top to bottom)



Veil Solutions Ghost

Galco Flex Tuk

Aholster pocket holster

Still not a huge fan of pocket holsters, but nice to have the option if I need it.

The Flex Tuk was my go to with my 642. Its still good with the 32s.

But The Veil Ghost is a really outstanding holster. I've taken a class with the guy who designed it and he's a great dude so its a double bonus getting to support him a bit.

Current J frame carry:

432 with 100gr buffalo bore hardcast in the Veil Ghost
Dauntless/Matt Helm Work Knife v4

I'm been intrigued about a j-frame to add to my EDC and have come across the 32 UC offerings. Sadly, I haven't found a range that has one for rent to try out. So it's just been YouTube

If I get one, is the titanium cylinder the way to go?

Yes on the titanium cylinder.
I have a 2000 J-Frame S&W Model 332 - .32 Magnum Airlite Ti Centennial with the titanium cylinder. Saves weight. Looks cool too!

I honestly dont notice a huge difference between my steel 632 and my titanium 432, either with how they carry or shoot.

You're welcome to try mine back to back if youre remotely close to Bell County.

Appreciate the feedback and generous offer!

Bender. Good day. Would like your opinion on this. My preferred carry is my S&W 332 Ti Airlite. I used to carry a Model 60 but wanted something lighter as I oftentimes put in 14 hour days working marine events. The wife carries a semi -auto but liked the 332. So I got her a 432 with a steel cylinder. She liked my 332 Ti better (she said the extra 1/4lb made a difference). So I gave her my 332 and I took the 432. It was a brand new revolver. The main thing I saw different from my 332 was trigger pull and action smoothness. The 332 was far superior than the 432. I have a cop buddy who has a 432 with a titanium cylinder and so we got together to shoot. His 432 with the titanium cylinder had a much lighter and smoother trigger pull than my 432. He said he never had it tuned or modified. So I took it back to the gun shop where I bought it and the sales guy there said it was due to the steel cylinder. He had another new 432 with a steel cylinder in stock and let me dry fire it. It felt just like my 432. He then brought out the same with a titanium cylinder and it felt much better in action smoothness and trigger pull.
I assumed it was just the machining of the individual revolvers. Smith and Wesson's QC has declined so much in the last decade I just chalked it up to that. Thoughts?

ETA. Forgot to add I sold the 432 shortly after.
