Thanks for the heads-up.
But, I only have two responses to this news:
1. Frickin' Idiots! A 2" barrel? Seriously?
2. Maybe a snubby from a better company than Taurus will stir the pot a bit. (Apparently, S&W saw enough demand in the market to take a chance here. The .327 is still moving along.
)On a separate note:
Coonan .327 required. You build. I buy.
(I think that's my 8th 'request'; probably not the last.)
An official request will be sent to Coonan this time. An official reply of, "the pressure is way too high," is likely to be received...

They're quick with their replies.
i ordered a model 632 2 " today and should have it in a few days. im thinking i will primarily use it for 32 h&r and 32 long. ive wanted a model 632 h&r for a while but the price has held me back. ill shoot some 327 out of it of course but i realize the 2" barrel doesnt do the round justice.

Let us know how it works for you.

Maybe not. But but 327 MAG from that barrel will still outdo the any 38 Special round fired from a two inch barrel. Actually, the traditional two inch J frame is only 1.88 inches, whereas the 327 MAG "2 inch" barrel is 2.125 inches. Shooting both from an true 2 inch barrel might well give nearly equal results.
Okay... so I sent Buffalo Bore a message through their "contact us" page. I thanked them for offering a .327 Federal product when nobody else will but I did go ahead and call them out on the relatively anemic load they are offering.
The velocity doesn't hang with either the 100gr AE JSP or the 115gr Gold Dot.
It seems very much unlike Buffalo Bore.
Here is their response:
Does anyone?
What do you think of the response from Buffalo Bore?

Here is their response:
Does Smith & Wesson offer a scandium cylinder .327 Federal revolver?
Does anyone?

It would be considerably cheaper, have a better trigger and being slightly heavier should be more controllable.
I think he is being sarcastic because he doesn't feel there is a need for 327. While there may not be a need, it's an interesting round and I bought the first GP100 that I could get! I love it! I finally have some factory brass on order and hoping that the good accuracy I've gotten with the 32 H&R cases will be even better with the 327 federal cases. The round is a bit ear splitting for my taste so medium loads are in order.

Just shoot .22 shorts. It's a killer round. Ask a squirrel.

.327 mag in Cimarron Model P Jr.?
Anyone know if a Cimarron Model P Jr. in .32-20 can handle a .327 magnum load?

That would be a HORRIBLE idea. While the Cimmaron is a recent production gun... the SAAMI PSI max for .32-20 is incredibly low (like 16,000 PSI?) while the SAAMI max PSI for the .327 Federal is abnormally high at 45,000.
It's a truly awful idea and really shouldn't even be attempted.
The .32-20 was originally designed around black powder. This cartridge dates back like 130 years.
