Mike McIntosh seems to think the 32 is superior since he included it in "Best Guns".

Thread from two and a half years ago!

By the way, the B-25 outsold the M-32 by about 40-1.

The 32 is a fairly rare animal.

I did a Google search for some information on a Super and this thread turned up. I was curious if it would come to the top if I replied.

I was bored.

You must know how to use the current search function to some effect. I don't!

It came up on a Google search.

I can't make the one on this site do much for me.

I was looking for information on Super triggers for this thread:

Ned Schwing's book on the B25 has a good history of the search for a reliable single trigger and full description of the multiple operational modes and virtues of the "twin-single" (two SNSTs posing as simple double triggers). Shot mine Sunday. I still think it's the best of all possible mechanisms for choosing first barrel without requiring digital gymnastics to fire the second.

I still think the safety/barrel selector on a Remmie 3200 ( Center safe,- toggle left -bottom, toggle right - top) is the best system ever devised. I'm surprised one one else has picked it up

Yeah, except that a 3200 in the field feels like two Louisville Sluggers taped together. The safety might work on another gun, but the 3200 is a competition gun that should not even have a safety.

Gentlemen:
It is probably a fool's errand, but in my opinion the Browning B25/Superposed has something called "cache." For whatever reasons. I've owned a dozen or so. And they still embody a certtain je ne sious qua. The Remington carries none of that. In my view, alone, it's a B25 every time.

Best, Kensal

As for me, the "je ne sais quoi" sticks more on the Super too.
Own several Supers and one nice Rem 32TC.
The Supers have smooth lines that "flow". The 32 seems a bit "blocky" compared to the Super.
Apples to apples - both introduced about the same time.
Different strokes for different folks.
