Best Answer

The chambers of the sample HW5 which I inspected were bored the same diameter (cartridge case diameter) straight through. Chambers of good quality revolvers (e.g. Smith & Wesson and Colt) are reduced to bullet diameter at the front end (barrel end) of the cylinder to guide the bullet squarely into the barrel. With the HW5, the bullet must jump from the neck of the cartridge case to the barrel with no guidance to ensure that it enters the barrel perfectly in line with the barrel axis. This is not conducive to good accuracy. Bored-straight-thru chambers were common back in the days of outside-lubricated bullets having the same diameter as the cartridge case (like the .22 rimfire) but the 32 S&W is an inside-lubricated cartridge design and should have reduced-diameter chamber throats.
