327 mag is a pretty sweet round with muzzle energy in the 40 caliber range (450-500 ft lbs). Downside is finding it and Aya price that you can afford to practice. Reloading would be the way to go IMHO if you already have a rig. The difference between that and 38 spcl (even at +p) is quite a lot!!

Do you own a 327?!?

It would work well and there is the advantage of using 32 Magnum or even subsonic 32 Long. I really don't see a downside to using the 327 that way. That said; I use a Colt Detective Special in 38.

I would not feel under gunned carrying a .327 mag for self defense.

They can be loaded from "mild to wild" so offer about as much versatility as it's larger cousin the .357 magnum.

I have and use a 327 for CC and never feel like it isnt enough

I like the .327, even in a Chevy. ;-)

Another .327 Federal and 327 fan.

The versatility of the .32s is matched only by the .357magnum/.38 Special branch of cartridges.

I went with the Taurus model 327 and the 85 gr. Federal JHP version for carry.
There are those for whom the 110gr.-115gr. JHPs rounds are just fine.

I also appropriated a Ruger GP-100 and a Ruger SP101 in that caliber as well to compliment each other and the Taurus 327. The SP-101 holds 6 rounds and can be a main gun with that 3" barrel it has.
