Depends on which cartridge it's intended to fire... if it's something like a .22 LR, it'll be a rimfire. If it fires a cartridge which a primer centred in the rear of the casing, then it'll be a centrefire.

There are also several DIFFERENT .32 centerfire cartridges- .32 Auto, .32 S&W revolver, .32 Long, .32-20 revolver, etc.
