I have several S&W's in 32 and I and my wife like them . I stepped up and got her the Ruger in 327 Fed . The recoil , while not wild , can definitely be felt . I don't know if I'd want to shoot one in a J frame , and I like the cartridge . If I remember right , the M16 was made in 32 magnum and if that could be modified to shoot 327 fed , that would be the one to own .
