A straight, brass or plated, rimmed cartridge, Berdan or Boxer primed and generally recognisable by the flat-tipped lead bullet. Developed in 1896 for the Colt New Police revolvers introduced in the same year, which subsequently became the Police Positive model. The Smith & Wesson First Model 1903 chambers the same cartridge, called the 0.43 S&W Long, which is identical to the 0.32 Colt New Police except for the bullet, and most manufacturers made suitable revolvers.

The 0.32 Smith & Wesson can be identified by its round-nosed bullet. Like the S&W cartridge, it was long a favourite US police cartridge for detectives and plain-clothes operatives, though it seems to have been less popular in Europe and its popularity in the USA has waned with the widespread introduction of semi-automatic pistols for police work. Applications include suitably chambered revolvers.
