IOF .32 Revolver (also known as IOF 32 Revolver) is a 6-shot handgun designed and manufactured by the Ordnance Factories Organization in India[1][2] and is meant for short range.[3] It is a 'Break Action' self extracting revolver[4] and uses the .32 Smith & Wesson Long (7.65mm) cartridge.[5] It is based on the Webley Mk IV .38 S&W revolver, specifically the Singapore Police Force version with a safety catch. The smaller caliber was chosen so that it would be legal for civilian ownership under Indian law.
It is priced at around Rs. 82,000/- (approximately USD 1,649) due to no competition from private manufacturers.
