I've been thinking about one myself.
From what I read, the .32H&R Mag (which will work in a .327mag) and .327mag are great self defense cartridges with relatively low recoil for the amount of energy they produce. The traditionalist in me likes them too since .32 calibers in a revolver have a long and storied history in old defensive revolvers going back quite some time.
I like the idea of a 3" barrel, relatively light gun, and 6 rounds in a caliber that will stop a threat but with light enough recoil for quick follow-up shots. I really don't like 5-shot revolvers, and even though I do like the capacity of an auto, I also love revolvers, so a traditional 6-shooter is always welcome.
The only reason I haven't bought one yet is my 3" Rossi 461. It fills essentially the same niche. At 26oz it can comfortably shoot .38+P giving it similar power to the .327mag, while still being light for carry, and it is a 6 shot revolver. However, I rarely shoot it, and due to issues with my 2" Rossi 461 I've never really trusted or warmed to the 3", so I've never brought it with me when I go to a state where I can carry. So, while having something in this small niche already (pushing something else ahead of it when I consider the .327 SP101), I also haven't been able to get the idea of a SP101 in .327mag out of my head either.
