The end of the .357 Mag....

327 Federal, 40 S&w, 41 mag: three dumb answers to 3 dumb questions.

357 Mag, 45 acp, 44 mag: what else is needed? Something to keep Sales & Marketing busy -- not gainfully employed, just busy. Answer above.

I'd buy a 327 Fed if it came in a K frame Target, 6" barrel. Diamond grips, no lock of course.

I have yet to see any .327 in our Wal-Marts up here. Plenty of .357 mag, 9mm, .45ACP, and .44 mag. Good round but any of the previously mentioned rounds can be found in any store, anytime - outside of the short-term panicking episodes that happen.

.327? Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy. Elmer would shoot rats with a bigger caliber than that.

I'm going to stick with my Colt Dragoon and Starr- cartridge handguns are just a fad. If I need more horsepower, that's what my Walker is for!

Perhaps the 327 Fed and the 41 Mag but the 40 SW??

It certainly seems to be doing extremely well. It was the 10MM which did not and then became the 40SW

What have you been smoking?

 

[giddyupsut]

I hate to admit it but...I own a Charter Arms .327 "Patriot". It does shoot well and the flash is significantly different less than the .357 or 38+ loads.
The rounds do tend to swell up and get stuck in the chambers occasionally though.

 

[RobertJ.]

You probably knew this would get a lot of replies!

The .357 isn't going to go away, ever. It's the favorite of way too many shooters for that to happen.

I don't know anyone who owns a .327, and as for myself, if I was given one, I'd sell it and buy something I want.

Although, I think in a handy little carbine, such as the Marlin, or a Winchester 92 copy, it could be interesting. Sort of like a souped-up .32-20.

Sheep Dip...

I say sheep dip...

I'd just as soon have the old 32-20 rifle loads we shot in our handguns way back when.
Ain't much really new under the sun, now is it?

I's just now come full circle and back to shootin' my three, five, sevens, guess me and the ol' Rm will jest go out together.

Su Amigo,

Maaaan, I really hate that being I just
Brought home a M28 4 days ago to go with the M13 and M581 performance center revolver here at the house. And Coonan just going back into production with thier semi auto 1911 types that eat .357Mag
All that money for noth'in.
I got a M29 that the .454, .460, and .500 has made me ashamed to take to the range... A custom M1911 that suffers from "not a double stack .40"
Next somebody will tell me I can't be
Cool with 7.62x25 and have to give up handgunning completely.
Seriously, the is nothing wrong with your .327.... But its in no danger here in Texas of replacing any of the old tried and true.
