The Gun Dock (no affiliation) on GunBroker has several SS left at $310 plus $8 shipping. They had 4 this morning but I changed that. I'm looking at $355 including the $15 transfer at my local FFL.
I'm excited for it to get here!!

Check that, they have 1 left now.

It's a great EDC gun.
And with the ability to shoot any .32 it's fun.
Warning though. The 327 rounds will wake up the entire neighborhood.

Nice one - is the ammunition available?

I have a bunch that I've loaded up and I have all the components I need to make plenty. Otherwise the cost is quite prohibitive.

That's the thing that is making me strongly consider one. I have the dies, brass and bullets for my Beretta. I'm still PO at Taurus however for screwing me on the PT 145 and lately the Rossi R462. I just read today that a member got a model 66 in exchange for his in four weeks, took me twice as long and had to settle for a 608.

I think I'll wait until I get to the Georgia pawn shops for my next gun.

Your hesitation makes a lot of sense. You should get an award for what you have had to deal with.

327 Federal is a really great cartridge but it's a reloader's round. Those of us with dies etc are in ballistic nerd heaven. The balance of power to recoil, it's delivered "punch" vs felt "kick" all while sipping gently on the powder supply. While I haven't got to casting bullets for it I'm sure you can get a whole lot of pills out of a pound of wheel weights. On the other hand, if you are looking for a gun to feed strictly off the gun shop shelves 327 is not your friend.

I still have hopes that it will gain popularity. Likewise I wish the new "30 Super" well. I just like small bore. Considering how well the medium bore cartridges have dominated the market I might be wishing on a star. The tired old debate that gun magazine writers have flogged for decades of "big and slow vs small and fast" seems to have settled at medium size and medium speed. 38 Special and 9mm Luger/NATO rule the vast market.

No worries. We still have our 327 Fed Mag AND our big bore hand canons.

I am having "non-buyer's" remorse. That was a great deal. He posted more after the first round were gone, but since I saw the additional ones yesterday they are gone. Maybe there will be a blue light special in Georgia!

Sure, so I got a 65, not a 66. They said they were going to send me a 608, but I told them I didn't want a 5-shot and asked for a G3. They countered with the 65, which I greatly prefer to the G3, so I accepted.

I guess they are processing them much faster now, since the rush of responses must have slowed.

Not bad. I have a pair of 66s and I like them, but the 65 still calls me. I just may have to act on it some day.

I said I didn't want a five shot and they basically said take it or leave it.

I've got a Taurus 327 which compliments my Ruger GP100 and SP101. Great guns and a great cartridge.

I'll be adding this one to my gp100 and my Henry big boy steel.

I would love a 3”. The Charter Professional I had was a POS but the cartridge was fun.

 

[justonemoregundear]

Anyone with a new 327 had a chance to do a range report with it?
I'm interested in one to replace my Charter Arms Undercoverette in 32 Magnum but the new 327's
seem to be going for over MRSP right now..

 

[stupimlico]

As soon as I get a couple free hours I plan to take my new one to the range.

Let me know how it goes. I found one at LockedLoaded.com in Pana IL for under $300 and should be shipping soon.

Now I just need to find some .327 Federal Magnum under $3.00/round !!! And I thought GAS was High priced.

Well, fortunately for me, I am my own source of ammo with components that I accuired before things got stupid.

As far as how it went? Great so far. I only had about 30 rounds loaded up that I could run through it the other day, but it did well. I thought I had loaded some pretty stout rounds but I still had some factory federal 100 grain and let me tell you, federal loads those things strong! The primers were all cratered and they we noticibly stouter than my loads.

I like the gun, it's not a target pistol, but I can hit a small torso at defensive distance single or double action with no issue.

I have an SP101 4"AS and a GP100 6" in 327. The SP101 is an excellent trail and home defense gun and the reloads I have tried so far are great. I shoot the RCBS 95SWC at 1200 and get excellent accuracy from both guns but the GP100 6" is a log to hold out for these old arthritic joints! The federal 100sp load is not for the faint of heart ! That load is HOT!!
