According to Brandts Handbuch der Pistolen- und Revolver-Patronen: The .32-44 Smith & Wesson cartridge dates back to 1886 - 1887. It was designed when target shooting came into vogue during the 1880s. The assumption that the gap in revolvers reduces the precision was proved wrong by some good target shooters. In December 1886 the marksman Paine was the first to shoot with a S&W target revolver in caliber .32-44
