The Ruger LCR in .327 Magnum.
The .327 Magnum sort of reminds me of the .41 Magnum: A round that has its uses, but is mostly overshadowed by its bigger and older (and usually cheaper) brother.
In this application, though, the .327 gives the user an extra round over the .38/.357. Which has its value, for the same reason that many folks prefer a Colt Detective Special over a J-Frame Smith in .38.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

I've shot a .327 in a GP101. It's a 'snappy' little round.
ReplyDeleteI was a fan of the .32 H&R Magnum back in the olden days. I liked getting close to 1200 fps out of a 90 grain slug with a 4" barrel.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of its evolution into .327 Magnum. Looks like a helluva good idea to me. But are they really driving 100 grain JHPs at almost 1900 fps (!!) out of a 5½" barrel? That might be a tad hard to shoot...
I have a long barrelled Single-Seven. I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteForce is mass times velocity squared.
Not sure I'd give up the stopping power of a .357 for one extra round. Especially given that the typical encounter at close quarters is over within three shots one way or another (see: Tueller drill). I want those shots to count.
