Re: 357 vs 327
they had a segment on the 327 last week on Guns and ammo TV.
2/3rd the recoil of the 357 and more powere then a 38 +p+ according to the show.
I don't think its the "miracle" round that these "middle rounds" always get touted as but it sounds like a solid self defense round for people who can't effectively handle the recoil of the larger rounds.
http://www.gunsandammomag.com/cs/Sat...101.327+MagnumThe first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

Re: 357 vs 327
the .327 is a snappy round. You're probably better off with the .357 so you can shoot .38 in it.

Re: 357 vs 327
The .327 it will shoot 32 S&W Short, 32 S&W Long and .32 Mag. With this range there is everything from powder puff loads to romper stompers. The .32 Mag. will get up into the mid-range .38 spcl. territory. The powder needed to load a round will make the .38 spcl look like a spend thrift. Our .32 Mag is a blast to shoot and I wish that there was a way to step it up to a .327.

I dont know anything about the round but I do know how important it is to keep the wife happy. Get the 327.

Re: 357 vs 327
The American Rifleman did a write up on the .327. On paper at least, it looks like a better choice than .38 +P. Particularly as regards penetration.
Not a lot of actuals on it though...
