So, my dad has had a little .32 S&W forever. I am 50 and he has had it since before I was born. Nickel plated pearl handles.

It is a Forehand Arms. Made around 1900.

It has had a weird quirk forever. He has finally expressed an interest in shooting it. I took it from him and was examining it, the cylinder does not lock into place. I told him it was unsafe. Called a reputable gunsmith, he said yes I know what is wrong, yes I can fix it, but I can't guarantee it won't break again. So, he said no.

I thought I will buy another one, take it apart for parts and rebuild my dad's.

In the course of taking apart my dad's, a part literally fell out of the trigger assembly. I put it back together after a good cleaning and voila, the gun works. So now, my father and I both have Forehand Arms .32 S&W revolvers. The one I bought was $60. too fun.

First gun I have attempted to "repair." Might have a new hobby.
