.327 Federal Magnum Revolvers

It's a great carry cartridge because one extra hole in the cylinder and the performance is impressive. Since it's tough to get Ammo shipped here and it's not exactly a common caliber I passed.

I like the 327 Federal Magnum load, and own several revolvers chambered for that round. I have a S&W 632, a 4" stainless Ruger GP100, a 3" Ruger SP101, and a Ruger Single-Seven and love all four of them. Locally ammo is and always has been available. I have a bunch of ammo for the 327 Federal Magnum, 32 H&R magnum, S&W 32 long and S&W 32 Short. Plus I have a set of RCBS reloading dies that can load all of the above calibers.

I did buy a Taurus revolver in 327 Federal Magnum a couple of years ago, took it out shooting and sold it the very next day, what a POS!

As far as a carry gun goes I'd choose either the Smith 632 or the SP101for concealability, they are all a pleasure to shoot the GP100 being the most comfortable. What I'd like to see is Smith & Wesson make that caliber in the 640 or 642 model with enclosed hammer. I'd switch over to that revolver in a heart beat. Right now I carry a 642 in 38+P, have carried this handgun for close to six years now. It suits my needs and will ALWAYS FIRE when needed.

Any of you who are on the line thinking about buying one, I say go for it and enjoy your new revolver. But stay away from the Taurus 327 revolvers, spend the extra dollars and buy a decent Ruger or Smith.

For those who can't find ammo, buy a set of dies, brass, bullets and load your own. Take a trip to Pennsylvania and buy a bunch of carry ammo and have some on hand. Look at the reloading books and compare the 327 to the 38, 38+P, 357 magnum. I'd hate to be on the recieving end of this caliber.

I also have a 3" 9mm SP101, it's a fun little gun so shoot as well.

I seen once of these LCR's in 327 Federal Magnum at a local gun store a few days a go. I think I need one.

I like shooting 32 shorts and 32 longs through my 327s, once I get more brass I'll be shooting more often.

I would consider the 327 if Smith made one...

Smith did make one years ago, I bought one from a NYF member a few years ago. I also bought the RCBS diess and ammo and it came with a new unused Galco leather holster.


Smith 437 - 327 Federal Magnum.

I used to carry a S & W .32 kit revolver coon hunting and thought it to be the best! Course that was about forty years ago and soooooo many guns ago. Damn, another gun I wish I had kept, HAH! I think a .32 Magnum is a great idea.
