I definitely wouldn't hold my breath on S&W making another 327.
I love my LCR327 so much I will likely get it in other calibers as well. It has a "love it or hate it" trigger that is very light and long. They start off a tiny bit clunky but smooth out beautifully after several hundred dry fires and a bit of lube.
That said, I think I'd love a SP101 in 327. Just like my WC GP100, I'd throw a trigger job and lighter springs in it and I bet it would be great. I absolutely love the GP100/SP101 design where the rubber grip slides over the undersized frame. The ergos are as good as any revolver I have held, and you don't have an exposed steel backstrap digging into your hand while shooting magnums.
I do agree that true 327 Magnums are HOT and LOUD. They are absolute screamers. I really need to save up and get a lever gun in 327. I bet that is a hoot.
