New 327 Federal Magnum

[Guest bullseye717]

Federal and Ruger just came out with the 327 Magnum. It seems like an appealing weapon to me as the ballistics are close to a 357 but in a compact form and with 1 extra round in sp101 form. You guys think its worth it to trade my gp100 in 357 for this baby?

[The Rabbi]

Absolutely. The GP100 is a nice gun but no one's idea of a concealed carry weapon. And if the 327Federal is too much you can load .32 H&R mag, or .32 S&W long, or .32 S&W short, or .32acp.

Jeff Quinn has a great review of the .327 federal over at Gunblast.com

It will most likey be a bigger hit than the 9mm Federal that came out 20 years ago.

I was gonna say stay away from fad cartridges, but if Rabbi says it's a good idea, I'd listen to him. The man knows a thing or two about wheel guns.

I dont understant "close to" when you can carry a 357 J FRAME or a Glock 27 in 40 cal.They both look better to me than a hopped up 32.What do ya think?

[Guest 2HOW]

I think you have a point gunny, hard to beat a .357.

[The Rabbi]

Except a .357 in a 2" gun doesnt make a lot of sense. You are also limited to 5 shots in the SP101 frame.
