Anyone have any info????
I cannot see any good use for the 327. It does nothing that cannot be done in a 9mm pistol, which can be made to hold more cartridges in a smaller package.

The .32 S&W Long should be enjoyed in period guns for what it is now: a nostalgic look back into the past and to happier times when criminals had the good sense not to inject Drano into their veins and to give up respectably when confronted. Here's to happier times!
