    Great gun and great cartridge. Now if I could only find one.

      They are hard to find. There are almost always a few for sale on gunbroker.com
      They will not be cheap. These days they sell for twice as much used as they did new.

      @ Yes, you’re right, they are on Gunbroker from time to time. But, as you said, they are very spendy and ammo is very spendy as well.

      @@nmelkhunter1 If you are going to shoot 327 Fed very much, you really ought to start reloading it. You can reload it pretty cheap. Doesn`t require much powder and you can use just about any .311-.313 diameter bullet.
      Might want to avoid some of the soft lead target wadcutters. They are not intended for high velocity loads and may leave a lot more lead fouling in the bore than hard cast

    Love seeing the .327 and .32 h&r getting attention. They are smooth rounds in the proper size platform and will get the job done. Love my gp100 in .327 and am on the hunt for a matching Henry.

    I've always wanted a revolver in .327 Federal Magnum, especially when riding around in my 63 Impala SS with... wait for it.... wait for it... a 327 ci engine... just seems to be the right thing to do.... lol

    They did release a 6" version of the .327 GP-100 but it's discontinued now sadly. When they first released the GP-100 in .327 it was available only in 4".

    • @1957Shep

      The caliber just isn`t popular enough for Ruger to make them full production. They did limited runs of several different ones. And every couple of years, when they get them all sold off, they do another limited run of some model or other in 327.

      @@1957Shep Thanks for the reply, Shep. Always good to see your videos. Right now Ruger has .327 SP101s and LCRs on their website. There's also the Lipsey's exclusive GP100 in .327, but like I said the standard model you have has been discontinued. So not sure if Ruger has just done another limited run but they have several models on their website at the moment. Makes me wonder if there's a comeback for the little caliber that could. .327 ammo went for high prices on gunbroker until Federal made more of it, now I see it locally again. Your mileage may vary on that, though.

    I really like the idea of the .327 in Ruger's SP101. I think if I had to go for a larger gun, I would just skip it and go for a .357.

    • @1957Shep
      @1957Shep  Рік тому

      When I ran across this gun years ago, my main reason for adding it to the collection is that they are kind of rare. If I was going to carry a 327 the SP101 or S&W 632-1 makes more sense.

    327 Magnum is an excellent cartridge, and with the option to shoot 32 H&R Magnum as a lighter defensive round or 32 S&W Long for fun, plinking, or some training, the chambering offers incredible flexibility. Ammo availability and pricing are the only real drawbacks.

    • @1957Shep
      @1957Shep  Рік тому +1

      Too bad it never became more popular. But I guess most people don`t see any real advantage over the 38 Special/357 Magnum.
      I have 3 guns chambered for 327 Federal. This one, a Ruger Single Seven, and a S&W model 632-1.
      I used to carry the S&W quite a bit.

    • @1957Shep
      @1957Shep  Рік тому +1

      In a way, they are kind of trying to re-invent the wheel. About the same level of power but with a little less felt recoil. Not a lot less, you can`t cheat basic physics. It is more noticeable in a small light weight revolver. But I guess most people don`t see much advantage to it and just stick to the 357 mag.
      They recently tried the same thing with the 30 Super Carry. About the same power as the 9mm but with a little less recoil. That one doesn`t seem to be gaining much traction either.

    I heard that they are stopping produce the 327 caliber because is not so popular, is this true?

    • @1957Shep
      @1957Shep  Рік тому

      Ruger makes a batch of guns in 327 every 3 or 4 years. Right now I think they are making those little LCR revolvers in 327. They have also made the Blackhawk, GP100, SP101, and Single Seven in 327. The SP101 was made in 327 at least 2 different times, maybe more.
      327 never became very popular, but there is enough demand for it that it has never completely faded away.
