Test of New 632 327 Federal Carry Comp Revolver

[peyton]

At least Ruger is producing the .327, come on S&W get your products to the market!! In the meantime, I got to find another 631!!

Not Tom but with mine the chambers were not consistent. It required too much force to eject the empties and the fired cases were not all the same size. Cases fired in some chambers could not be reinserted in other chambers.

Ruger replaced the cylinder in mine, I'm sure it's fixed now but haven't shot it yet since getting it back.

That's the same problem I had with mine. Cases were actually bulged, and the gun was not safe to fire. I'm surprised that Ruger didn't issue a general recall on these things, but with all the other recalls, they were probably afraid of even more lost sales.

Thanks I did check mine and they seem a little hard to eject how long have you had yours as I said I bought mine around Christmas and I really don't want to send it back.

Well, I did a search for my unicorn yesterday, all dealers show it as back ordered. I checked davidson's, lipsey and if there is anywhere else let me know.

I read the article and what jumped out at me was the 9# double action and 2 3/4# single action trigger pull on a J-frame.

How can they do that? Can Performance Center do that and maintain dependability as far as light strikes go? If they can - I'll send my 340 in to them tomorrow . Can any good gunsmith do that without compromising primer strikes by using light springs? I understood NO, or I'd have had mine worked over long ago.

I've got thousands of clicks on it and it's very smooth. But my poundages are nothing like those. I've probably have double action well up in the teens and I know my single action goes around 5 1/2# which is considered fairly light for a J-frame if I understand correctly.

Did they use very light springs in this gun? Does .327 ammo use easier primers than all other ammo?

Why can't we all lighten our J-frames up to 9 and 2 3/4 pounds?

What gives?

I'm not in the market for a .327 gun. But I'm sure in the market for getting my 340 J-frame to those poundages.

Anyone have some input for me?

I take everything I read on Gunblast with a grain of salt. This is the same site that showed a Whistle Pig barrel on a 10/22 supposedly putting 10 shots inside a dime consistently at 110 yards. He could dominate the 22LR benchrest matches. I have several WP barrels and they are decent, nothing great except weight.
I've also noticed NEVER do they test a gun then not recommend it. Everything is good in the world of Gunblast. I get better info off real life experiences on the forums.
Just my take.

The guys at Gunblast approach their tests with the same methodology used by scientists in the lab. Like Will Rogers, it is true they never met a gun they didn't like.
