The IOF revolver is chambered for the .32 S&W Long cartridge. Since the S&W Short cartridge is of idtentical dimensions, except for length (as the name suggests it is shorter) AND it produces LESS pressures it can be safely used in this revolver as well BUT DONT try the reverse i.e. DON'T attempt to use the long cartridge in a gun designed for the shorter cartridge!

However, why would anyone want to use the S&W short in a gun designed for the S&W long is beyond me. It produces substantially less energy AND is MUCH more expensive to buy i.e. If you can find it in the first place!

Cheers!

Dear Abhijit,

Thanks for your comments.
I was just asking from the perspective of 0.32 IOF revolver, because of the notion that Short will produce less recoil thus better accuracy. However in the situation of SD (hope not to encounter one) I will be in a very short distance to the offender.

If you go to the market to buy ammo.the dilemma of which one to buy will be resolved for you by the simple fact that you not be able to buy .32 Short cartridge as there is none to be had.
