7 shot H&R Magnum.
I like it!
Along the lines of Bob Wright's comment, what exactly is professional about this revolver?
It's an esthetic reference ... Like the difference in dress between your average auto mechanic and a well-tailored executive headed to a board meeting.
Most C.A. revolvers give off a 'workin' Joe' street look. This model, in contrast, exudes a more refined and polished 'upscale look.'
Because we all know that Professionals would choose a Charter Arms over all other brands, and of course they would choose .32 H&R.what exactly is professional about this revolver?

Whether you can appreciate it depends on which side of the 'esthetic' tracks you're from.
a 7 round revolver lighter than a Smith 686 plus would be appealing.
.327 is more than double the pressure of .32 Mag, unnecessarily so IMO. I think had the pressures been 30 to 35k max PSI, that would have been enough, still significantly higher than .32 Mag's 21k max PSI.This...
I'd bet (as would many others based on other threads on this gun on the web) that they went .32H&R Mag over .327 because the higher pressure .327 at this size would have to be a 6 shooter to be strong enough to handle the round. I'd rather lose the .327 and gain the higher round count if that is the choice. I've long considered buying a 3" 686 Plus, but they are a little big and heavy for regular CCW (as regular as I can get only being able to carry when out of state) and they are a little more expensive than I usually want in a CCW (though I have range guns in the price range and above). This 7 round capability, at lower prices, and a much smaller and lighter weight gun, is most definitely quite appealing.
