Top-GUN: as a lover of Colt revolvers and pistols, please let me add this tidbit for your consideration:

The Colt double action revolvers are wonderfully made handguns that will stand up to quite a bit of abuse. Back many years ago, serious target work demanded Colt DA revolvers, and S&W was looked at as one would look at Charter Arms or Taurus today -- serviceable, but not used by discriminating folks, and certainly not on the target line.

As I'm assuming that you would be looking for a .32 DA Colt, those would usually be based on the Police Positive frame, which is the smallest Colt DA frame that was also used for the Diamondback and Detective Special weapons.

When you are looking at one of these revolvers, you want to check to see how worn it is. Repairs are something to avoid, as the knowledge to work on these is not as widespread as it once was. You'd be better off searching for and paying for one that is in good shape.

Anyway, take the revolver and cock the hammer as slowly and gently as you possibly can, and only until the sear catches the hammer's full cock notch. Don't pull the hammer back any farther than necessary. Then, holding something soft (like your finger) between the frame and the hammer, pull the trigger slowly and gently until the hammer releases.

What you are wanting to notice in this is whether the bolt will lock the cylinder when you cock the hammer. If it does not, it will normally lock the cylinder when you pull the trigger.

Note that, unlike "off brand" and "brand x" revolvers, Colt attaches the hand (the part that turns the cylinder) to the trigger. Other designs attach this part to the hammer.

So, if the hand is not worn, the bolt should lock the cylinder when you cock the hammer. If the hand is worn, the cylinder will usually lock when you pull the trigger (although a really worn example may not even lock then).

You will want to do this gently on all 6 chambers in the cylinder. If the gun passes this test and is in otherwise good condition (the crane that holds the cylinder is tight, etc), buy that gun.

This will give you something to look at when you are shopping.

Of course, you should never, ever drop the hammer on an empty chamber, as this WILL break the firing pin eventually. And besides, it is very bad manners.

Hope this helps. Needless to say, you know what sort of revolver I'd suggest...

And by the way, welcome to IFG! I hope you enjoy our forums and our merry band. As a strong believer in the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, I am very heartened to see women and girls participating in shooting and gun oriented activities of all legal kinds, so I hope your participation will have value for you.

hi friend all the above posts should have given you an good adea about the indian gun scene.if you really want to for a pb ,it will be only a wall hanger,ammo is difficult and costly.go for an npb bore.32 or .22 its more practical,youcan get catridges easily,or beg borrow,steal from your friends and use.meanwhile if you can get a rifle club membership.it will make it all the more easy to obtain a licence.
above friends didn't mean anything bad,we all are frustrated about the indian system.

guys !! i just wanna know a simple thing !!.....how much DAMAGE can IOF .32mm long barrel Revolver (ANMOL) can create at a distance of 15-18 yards !!

[goodboy_mentor]

It does not have .32 mm long barrel. It is .32 of an inch i.e. the diameter of the cartridge. The answer remains same as answered in this thread http://indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=16456

You are not getting a simple answer to your question because there is no simple answer to it.
Read the whole article, it will give you a fair bit of idea about the DAMAGE.
