Last year, I completely missed the Lipseys booth, and they ended up showing off the UC revolvers. The 432UC ended up being my favorite gun of 2024, so this year, I made sure to swing by and check out their exclusives. This year was a big year for Lipseys exclusives and a big one for revolver guys and gals. This year, it’s all about the wheel guns. 

The UC Lipseys Lineup Update

This year, we saw two new UC models. The first and most commonly known model is the new titanium cylinder model of the 432UC. This trims three ounces from the .32 H&R Magnum cartridge. I always thought the TSA was the only people who cared about 3 ounces.

Yet, holding both guns side by side showed that ounces count. The new 432UC Ti is also coming with the Hamre Forge AFR Undercover grips. They are smaller and lighter than the VZ grips. 

Lipseys is also doing a very limited run of the UC Lineup as a collaboration with the Special Operations Association. These models will be black, with green VZ grips, a gold bead front sight, and the MACVSOG logo. The number is limited to 200 models, which I assume is broken up between the 432 and 442 models. 

The Mountain Guns and Lipseys

It’s been over 20 years since S&W produced the Mountain Gun series. Lipseys and S&W are bringing the 629 and 686 Plus back and doing it without those dreaded locks. 

These large frame, stainless steel revolvers have adjustable sights and beautiful wood grips from Tyler Gun Works. They are walnut Bear Hug grips and cover a round-butt frame. 

It’s good to see the Mountain Guns make a comeback.

The Ruger LCR .32 H&R Magnum 

Lipseys partnered with Ruger to bring another .32 H&R magnum to the market, but this time, it’s the more affordable, easy shooting and easy-carrying LCR. This exclusive model features a two-tone frame that mixes FDE with black for a striking appearance. 

Ruger has made a .327 Federal Magnum for quite some time, so why go with the .32 H&R Magnum? Weight. The .32 H&R Magnum weighs 13.9 ounces, and the .327 Federal weighs 17 ounces. Remember, ounces matter. 

Ruger Vaquero 7.5 Inch 

Another Ruger and Lipseys collaboration is the return of the Vaquero with the long 7.5-inch barrel. This will be a .357 Magnum revolver and features a bright stainless finish that’s almost mirror like. It’s nice to see the big Vaquero back in action. 

NAA Rule 1

Our final Lipseys exclusive comes from NAA, and it’s known as the Rule 1 gun, as Rule 1 is have a gun. The NAA Rule 1 Lipseys exclusive is a .22 Magnum, single-action revolver that’s outfitted with the Hamre Forge Mini Hook Grips. 

These grips provide an actual grip on the gun rather than the micro-sized grips these guns usually come with. Additionally, the grips have a hook on them that allows you to easily attach the gun to your pocket for a convenient carry method. 

Lipsey Exclusives and the Future 

It seems like Lipseys is on a roll, making things happen that people are really wanting. These exclusives are giving customers the guns they want, and hopefully, they will continue to team up with major manufacturers to bring us awesome exclusives.
