History of the .32 Short Cartridge:
It was introduced in 1875 as a black powder cartridge for the new line of Colt revolvers.
It originally had a .313 in diameter outside-lubricated projectile, which was later changed to inside lubrication, leading to a diameter change to a .299 inch projectile.
Colt was the only pistol company to chamber this caliber.
These cartridges were replaced in the early 1900’s by the .32 Smith & Wesson Short and Long cartridges.
