There sure are a lot of S&W revolvers I've never heard of! Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations...one of the best "small" guns S&W ever made...
When they were being made I had the chance to buy both the silver or black models for about $650....now they start at $1500....
One of those S&W really needs to consider making again... Ruger is going to make the LCRX3" in .327 but right now just too over whelmed to bring them out...

I often carry my lcr 327. Shrouded hammer model. Great carry gun.
I wish that S&W would produce a line of 327 mags. I would be in for an alloy J frames. Say a 2 1/2" barrel. I would carry one of those before a 5 shot 38 special.
I like those 32. The wife now carries a J frame that I reworked to 32 H&R.
Problem is the general public just don't get the 32s. They will buy plastic 380 autos by the boat load though.

Shoot a cylinder of the 100g full power variety - it WILL get your attention!!
These run at 20% higher pressure than a 357 magnum.

I missed the boat on this one, I had an opportunity but just didn't like the ported barrel. I have both a 431PD and a 432PD which are 32 H&R Mag airweight 2" J Frames, and a 16-4 in 32 H&R which is a tack driver. Several I know have reamed out the 16-4 for 327, but i have no actual need for it as I no longer hunt.

I'm a .32 junkie. Have the S&W 632, Ruger LCR, & Ruger Blackhawk in the .327 Fed. A dual cylinder Cimarron 32 H&R & 32-20, A S&W 631(?) in .32 long, and 2 of the Beretta 81 .32acp. Like all of them. But little ones are a handfull! Love shooting the Blackhawk.
I've carried a 632 in 32 H&R for a number of years, with Buffalo Bore 100g +P ammo that actually chronos with a bit more muzzle energy than Remington's 38 Special +P 158g LSWCHP round. (Both out of 2" J frames on the same day over the same chrono setup.) It's plenty of gun, and lots of fun to shoot with lighter practice rounds.
I thought I'd like a 327, but couldn't see paying the current prices for a S&W, so I got a Ruger LCR in 327. As 505Gibbs notes, the full power 100g loads (from Speer and, I think, Federal) are eye opening in a gun that size. They reminded me of the one (1) round of 357 Magnum I've shot out of a J frame. Never again for the 357/J frame combination for my old hands and joints. And although I shot several dozen of the full power 327 loads in the LCR, I've decided no more of that either. I much prefer the size and layout of a J frame, just haven't gotten around to selling the LCR yet.
The rest of the factory 327 Federal loads that I shot all chrono'd below the energy of the 32 H&R Buffalo Bore loads I already carry. So I can't see the value of a 327 J frame for me as a carry gun. I get all the power I need in 32 H&R ammo, and shorter cases which (I think) are slightly less likely to stick during ejection than the 327s.
BTW, the hot 327 Federal loads are REALLY LOUD! I'd be concerned about some hearing loss if I ever had to shoot one of those without a good set of ear protectors on.

Just saw one today at a gun show in Loveland, CO. Nice little gun for us J frame fans. Was tempted......

This. And the report will deafen you without good hearing protection. I have a 616 6" built by Bowen. One of my very favorites. Can't imagine a small light short gun with full loads.
YES! Fired one round with the LCR without getting muffs on at a smaller indoor range. My big mistake, now have 30% hearing loss in one ear, less in the other.
I was able to get a spare cylinder for my black hawk and rechambered it to 32-20.

You gotta get them when you can.
I subscribe to the 6 shot .327, .32 H&R over the 5 shot .38.

So when were you able to get those? And how did you find them?

I bought one on GunBroker and bought the other one from a gentleman here on the Forum.
