IOF .32 Revolver (also known as IOF 32 Revolver) is a six-shot handgun designed and manufactured by Field Gun Factory, Kanpur.
The revolver is priced at Rs.79,263 (approx. $1100 USD in late 2020) (ex-Kanpur) due to a lack of competition from private manufacturers.
Design
The revolver is a 'Break Action' self-extracting revolver and uses the .32 Smith & Wesson Long (7.65mm x 23mm) cartridge. 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.
Variants
IOF also make a lightweight titanium frame version called the Nirbheek and a longer barrel steel frame version called the ANMOL.
