Smith & Wesson’s J-frame revolvers have been around for 75 years. Since the debut of the Chief’s Special, these small-frame revolvers have stayed popular for concealed carry. They’re reliable, simple to use, and easy to carry. Now, Lipsey’s is taking things to the next level.
After launching the “Ultimate Carry” series in 2024, Lipsey’s is back for 2025 with a brand-new pair of revolvers: the 432 and 632 Ultimate Carry Titanium models. These are exclusive to Lipsey’s and bring a lightweight twist to a classic carry gun.
Lighter, Stronger, and Smarter
Both the 432 and 632 are chambered in .32 H&R Magnum. That caliber offers a few real advantages. It’s available in solid self-defense loads, and it has a smaller diameter than the more common .38 Special. That means these revolvers can hold six rounds instead of five—an extra shot without increasing the size of the gun.
The biggest upgrade is in the materials. Instead of a traditional steel cylinder, these revolvers use titanium, cutting weight by about three ounces. The total weight is just 13 oz., making these some of the lightest carry revolvers out there.
Both models also feature no internal lock, a detail many revolver fans will appreciate.
Two Sharp Looks: You get two finish options:
- 432 Ultimate Carry Titanium: Matte black alloy frame, stainless barrel (also blacked out), and a natural-finish titanium cylinder.
- 632 Ultimate Carry Titanium: Natural matte stainless look with a stainless barrel, alloy frame, and natural titanium cylinder.
Both revolvers are sleek, modern, and designed with everyday carry in mind.
Designed for the Real World
Lipsey’s didn’t just stop at materials and finishes. These revolvers have been given their full “Ultimate Carry” treatment, which includes:
- Endurance Package: Enhanced internals with better geometry and upgraded springs for a smoother, more reliable trigger pull.
- Beveled Cylinder Edge: Makes it more comfortable for carry and easier to holster.
- Chamfered Chambers: Faster reloads, especially with speedloaders.
- Upgraded Sights: Fixed but functional. Up front, you get a pinned XS tritium sight with a green ring. In the rear, there’s a serrated black notch set into a dovetail for a clean, snag-free profile.
Grips and Extras
- Each revolver comes with two sets of grips:
- Smith & Wesson’s rubber boot grip – compact and comfortable.
- Hamre Forge AFR Undercover grips – designed for discreet carry.
There’s also a coupon included to purchase Hamre Forge’s Hook carry system grip, giving you more options to customize your setup.
Final Thoughts
These Lipsey’s exclusive J-frames are built with the serious concealed carrier in mind. Lightweight, durable, and packed with thoughtful upgrades, they’re an exciting evolution of the classic J-frame formula.
Both the 432 and 632 Ultimate Carry Titanium revolvers are priced at $825 MSRP. For more details, check out the listings on Smith & Wesson’s website or visit Lipsey’s directly.
