.327 Federal Magnum Revolvers

[Catskillkid]

So what do you think? Is the .327 Federal Magnum the best concealed carry revolver on the market?

Best Concealed Carry Revolver Caliber On The Market?

 

[Darth]

I've considered one.

I just like lesser known calibers and expanding my caliber portfolio.

 

[dsdmmat]

Ehh never shot one, if the round is hard to find, I wouldn't own one either.

Do you even reload bro?

 

[dsdmmat]

Do you even reload bro?

Yeah, I do but, do not need another cartridge to load. I do not reload the ammo I carry so, if I cannot get 1500 rounds for it up front I wouldn't be getting it. Of the 1500 rounds one third of that would be used to shoot and reload the other would be stashed for emergencies. I don't like buying new brass for guns I would rather buy ammo then shoot it and reload the spent casings.

.32 caliber firearms are on the comeback. S&W, among others are making revolvers and pocket pistols in the .32 mag.flavor.Hopefully , that will make the availability of ammo less scarce. Do some research on the .327 it has a very devout following.

As does the 300 Blackout, the 41 Magnum, the 5.7x28, the .45 Colt, the .40 S&W, the 10mm, the 6.5 Creedmoor and the 38 Super (all of which I own BTW). Caliber lovers will do everything possible to promote the positive aspects of their caliber while ignoring the detractors. go ahead and say something negative about the .41 Magnum to one of the Cult members and you will see what I mean.

On the .327 Magnum It appears to be a neat caliber. A t the moment it is certainly a niche caliber (as are many of the ones I have listed above). I certainly would not want to be hit by one but, I am not volunteering to be hit by anything this year. I am sure it is a fine cartridge, I am not sure it is all that and a bag of chips for me though.

 

[S&W Fan]

I hear what you're saying and I would tend to agree. I also reload but have no desire to add yet another caliber to the mix myself.
However, some may, and I was mearly pointing out that, the .32 caliber is on the comeback after falling out of favor for quite some time, as is some of the others that you mentioned. However, a couple of the above mentioned calibers, ,40 S&W & the .45LC ammo have remained available and at half way decent costs.
No big deal either way. Just thought I'd point it out.
Different flavors of chips are always good.

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

 

[Phauxtoe]

that extra round is nice, but wha tis the cost per round?
i like to shoot my guns a lot!

 

[Gunner57]

I'd rather have it in a lever action rifle.

Now there's a thought. Check out Marlins 1894CB-32 H&R magnum

Yeah, I know. I always say I've never seen a U Haul behind a hearse.

 

[Cooolone]

Agree on niche caliber, Love many revolvers, but not for carry. Backup is fine, but main and only carry, no, sorry.
: )

Lol - Gunner...

Putting 40 S&W in as a niche cartridge with 6.5 creedmoor or 41 magnum. I think you need to stop huffing boxes of 9mm.

I think you are confused, the first part referred to calibers that had dedicated followers and the second part covered niche calibers. Did you misread the part that stated "as are many I listed above"? Notice it did not say all. I think you need to lay off the bullseye when reading the forums. That stuff is great for 45 ACP but it can give you tunnel vision if used incorrectly.

LOL just bored and up for a good point for point conversation.

Care to discuss vaccines?

Care to discuss vaccines?

I think I have every vaccine they ever dreamed up. In the 80s the 7th ID pumped us full of things that didn't ever make our medical records. I would ask what is that? The answer always was yellow fever? I would respond I just got that over at the last table. I would get the shot regardless.

Maybe that explains your crazy feelings on this UBER caliber.

Too much yellow fever? Yeah that is probably it.

I had my hands on a 4.2" SP101 a while ago and passed because I have the same gun in .357. I should own an LCR. Ruger has done a great job offering them in different, interesting calibers; 9mm, .327 mag and .22 mag. I'd like anyone of those in a small revolver (snubby or the 3" variant would work just fine).
