30 Super will not require a crimp groove for a semiauto, while 327 Federal Magnum, a revolver round, definitely does.That was probably done because the .327 shares bullets with the .30 Super that Federal announced last week.
As for S&W, their focus now is black tactical guns or other fad guns (Governor) so traditional stuff like a .32 revolver they have no interest in offering.
After the failure of .32 Mag in the 80s and the disappearance of everything .327 for a few years after Sandy Hook, Smith doesn't believe there is a market.
I have shot many tens of thousands of rounds through revolvers with no crimp groove in the bullet and no crimp applied to the case.30 Super will not require a crimp groove for a semiauto, while 327 Federal Magnum, a revolver round, definitely does.
But probably not rated for over 40k psi. Everything has a context.I have shot many tens of thousands of rounds through revolvers with no crimp groove in the bullet and no crimp applied to the case.
If there was something from S&W there would be whining about locks."After the failure of .32 Mag in the 80s and the disappearance of everything .327 for a few years after Sandy Hook, Smith doesn't believe there is a market."
Smith would be WRONG.
The old S&W .32 Long revolvers are gold.
The Ruger Single Six H&R .32 are sought after by CAS shooters.
The Ruger SP101 and LCR .327 are great SD weapons.
The problem with the .32s is a lack of available guns.
The Single Six is a 22. The same gun was once offered in 6 rounds of 32 H&R.S&W sidelocks suck, but can be dealt with.
Blackhawk .327 could be 6 shooter.
The Single Six is a 6 shooter. The Super Single Six is the 7 shot.
The SP101 6 shot and GP100 7 shot in .327
The LCR in .327
Add a suitable SD bullet to the .327 and all bases are covered. .32 H&R would be better than nothing, but .327 is a viable SD cartridge.
Yes, it is loud. So is .357 and .38 and .22.
Wife had a .357 SP101, she liked the .327 much more.
Late to the party?At SHOT Taurus announced a new 327 mag revolver using the frame from the 856
