327 being dropped!

Charter arms and Taurus are canning their line up of 327's and smith has back production down to a crawl.. = (

I always thought it was sort of a solution in search of a problem.

They touted it as more powerful than a .38 and almost up to the level of a .357, but with higher capacity in the same frame gun. If 5 or 6 .357's won't get the job done, chances are 6 or 7 .327's won't either.

I've thought about it and have decided that I am not upset!

the round is a beast as far as penetration goes.. i really like it but avalibilty of ammo and the un godly price of it i think was its down fall

I certainly like mine....Its quite versatile...and the 327 is a hot little devil...

Guess I better be loading up on some ammo

i think it was a great idea but its just so far behind. i mean look how long the 357 has been around. i dont think anybody is going to go from shooting a 357 to 327. IMHO it was a limited market to start with

Actually I would have considered it. It has the potential to make for a good competition round. Low recoil would mean faster follow up shots, yet still have a flat trajectory and range to knock down the plates. Plus with a physically smaller diameter the possiblity of squeezing more rounds into the same space (cylinder). No its not a better SD round, just a possible good comp round.

THey make some sho nuff fine 32sw long comp pistols. I bet if it was icore legal an smith made a 8-10 shot revo from it... it Would destroy all others

327 was a good chevy engine back in the day but kinda hard for any round to take out the market for the 357 mag when you combine price and availability of ammo, give me the 357 any day
