Now that S&W is gradually bringing back the "Classics", how about a replacement for both the old Mod. 16 "K32" and the later Mod. 16-2 .32 H&R Mag (with full rib)?

I would like to see a new Mod 16,that looks exactly like the original Mod. 19 (and 66) .357 Mag, but chambered in .327 Fed. Mag, and with a classic half-lug barrel in exact 5-inch length?

That should satisfy both the 4-inch and 6-inch people. K-frame 5-inch guns have the most balanced-looking profiles, especially with the classic half-lug ejector shroud.

And of course with target square-notch rear sights and ramp front sights. (WO & RR?)

Correction to my original message: I meant to say Mod. 16-4 for the full-rib .32 Mag, NOT Mod 16-2.

yes, a modern K32 would have me deeper in debt.
I would like mine with a 6" barrel, shrouded ejector rod, not the full underlug, TH, TT, Patridge front and plain black rear. Blued, and yes I could live with 5"

You have just described what I would really like, a 5" K32 in .327 with PLAIN BLACK front and rear sights. Supplied with K sized "Coke" Targets in figured walnut.

sounds to me like a perfect gun. make it an 8 shot and you've go a pretty snazzy revolver. the best of the old and new. i'd definetly buy one. i don't understand why smith and wesson hasn't taken advantage of the .327 fed. do they have some kind of exclusive deal with taurus and ruger? they are the only manufacturers that i have seen with a .327.

the model 632 in 327 mag.is being produced by S&W now...i'm waiting for my distributor to get them in!

I'm rehashing some previous statements by saying some of this, but anyways...

I'm really impressed by the .327FedMag cartridge and I'd really like a K-frame S&W to fire it from.

My first choice would be a "616", 4" barrel, 7-shot, stainless finish, RR/WO, for HD, hiking, and general range use. My favorite pusher has promised to order one for me when S&W makes it.

My second choice would be a "316NG", 2-1/2" barrel, 7-shot, Scandium frame/stainless cylinder Night Guard, just about the perfect K-frame carry gun IMHO.

However, the gun described at the top would be my 3rd choice, but with a Patridge front sight.

My checking account is in trouble if S&W releases them all at once.

I'm waiting for a 6 inch full underlug target model........oh yeah....Stainless Steel~
