Barnes, page 245 The .320 Revolver, also known as the .32 Short Colt or .32 Webley, is an obsolete revolver cartridge. Its ballistic performance is comparable to that of the .25 ACP. Name The cartridge is known under a variety of names. In addition to .320 Revolver, it is also called .32 Short Colt, .32 Webley, .320 Short, .320 European and .320 Bulldog.https://www.handloadermagazine.com/cartridge-board-17 Cartridge Board | Handloader Magazine The cartridge was not made by Colt, but because the .32 Long Colt (which was based on the .32 Webley) was introduced soon after, the cartridge became colloquially known as the ".32 Short Colt", or more simply, ".32 Short", to distinguish the two. History The .320 Revolver was designed for the Webley Bull Dog pocket revolver in 1868 and similar revolvers made in Belgium that followed. The .320 can be viewed as a centerfire version of the .32 Rimfire, albeit less powerful. Certain types of .32 Short Colt cartridges had a slightly different-sized rim. On some guns, these .32 Short Colt rounds will fit and cycle properly.Woodard W.

In Brazil, both .320 guns and ammo (double-barreled, side-by-side pistols) were made up to the 1960s. Amadeo Rossi made his Model 8 "Garrucha" in .320 from 1950 to 1962.http://www.armasonline.org/ Home armasonline.org Ammunition for the .320 was briefly made by Fiocchi in 2015.
