If your handgun is a revolver, the .32 S&W Long would be the most likely answer, DO have it examined by a competent gunsmith- there are over a dozen different .32 cartridges- MOST do not interchange. Please note that very early revolvers in .32 S&W Long were made for BLACK POWDER CARTRIDGES, AND SHOULD NOT BE FIRED WITH MODERN SMOKELESS POWDER AMMO. There was a reason for the caps.
It usually means "cartridge." If it says something like .32 short ctg, it means the gun you have is chambered for .32 short ammunition.
It can fire .32 Smith & Wesson and .32 Smith & Wesson long ammunition. These are the only ammunition types it is designed for, and is NOT compatible with other types of .32 calibre/7.65mm ammunition.

Fun little pistol
Take it to a good gunshop for assistance. This is more than one type of 32 caliber ammunition.
About $400.
Have it checked out by a gunsmith to be certain.
It stands for the word "cartridge"
