new S&W revolvers in .327 Federal

[mzimmers]

Hi, all –

I've pretty much given up hope on finding a K-32 that I can afford. I noticed that Smith is now making revolvers in the .327 Federal Magnum. The case dimensions (except for length) appear to be identical to the S&W .32 Long.

Does anyone know whether I can shoot S&W .32 Long in one of these .327 revolvers? Thanks.

Yep! .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, .32 H&R Mag and .327 Mag. They'll all work.

Great! Now I just have to figure out how to keep the cylinder clean when shooting those .32 S&W Longs.

Thanks.

Thanks.

simply use a chamber brush when u clean...they are a bit bigger then the bore brush

Now, if they would just produce a 327 in a K frame. Maybe a 7 shot? I'd settle for 6, but 7 would be nice.

9 Shot N frame

A 9 shot N frame would be awesome.

A 5" K Frame in .327 with patridge sight, Sq. butt, walnut targets (and no lock). Put me down for one.

It's a Sports South exclusive. They are available but you have to check the #s most places just copied the description of the black one. The stainless SKU is 178045.

Thanks Bob - I wonder why S&W didn't catalog it and just reference contacting their distributor for more info?? With S&W I guess - who knows or can figure out some of their logic or more usually illogic!!

I bought a stainless 632-1 this year and l like it a lot. That 327 certainly is loud.

Well, I imagine it would be, especially from a 3" ported barrel. That's an area of concern for me, and may cause me to seek an alternative. I like the .32 S&W for giving people a gentle first experience with centerfire guns; if it's too loud, that could pose a problem.

Thanks.

IOSSO Bore Cleaner - the best, bar none. Use with a toothbrush, will clean the front of the cylinder in 2 minutes, trust me. Search the IOSSO site for cleaning blue guns.

The 327 MAG has to be one of the most versatile guns in my arsenal. Like stated above....shoots anything in 32 and it's great to hand-load for. The wife likes the 32 S&W Judy-Poopers as much, or more than she does shooting a 22. I hand-load and have a buddy that cast bullets in heaps, so I bought him a 32 bullet mold. As opposed to purchasing the expensive shorts...I can down-load the long a bit and it works fine for her at around 6 to 7-cents a round (primer and powder).
