The .32 S&W Long cartridge is derived from the .32 S&W, by increasing the overall brass case length, to hold more powder. Since the .32 S&W headspaces on the rim and shares the rim dimensions and case and bullet diameters of the longer .32 S&W Long, the .32 H&R Magnum cartridges, and the .327 Federal Magnum, .32 S&W cartridges may be fired in arms chambered for these longer cartridges. Longer cartridges are unsafe in short chambers, so neither of these longer and more powerful cartridges should be loaded into arms designed for the .32 S&W.

It was originally designed as a black powder cartridge. By today's standards, the .32 S&W is a very low-powered cartridge. A typical .32 S&W load would be a 98 grain lead bullet at ft/s (m/s ) for 115 ft·lbf (156 J) of muzzle energy, while the .25 ACP cartridge can be up to 103 ft·lbf (140 J) with a 35 grain bullet at ft/s (m/s ) , and the .32 ACP up to 128 ft·lbf (174 J) with a 71 grain bullet at ft/s (m/s ) . The .32 S&W Long cartridge is its successor.
