I know Taurus catches a lot of flack, but I have a 2" stainless M327, and its an excellent little revolver. Its based on the Taurus 85, and that's a great gun. If you watch your local gun boards, the M327 pops up from time to time. They also show up on Gunbroker regularly. Taurus made them stainless and blue, most were 2", but there were a few with ported 3" barrels.
I picked mine up this past summer for $300, in excellent condition, with box, keys and all paperwork.
The Taurus 327 seems to be the most common. The S&W J frame 327s command high dollars, upwards of $1,000. There just weren't many Charter Arms Patriots, but when they do show up, they seem to be in the same price class as the Taurus - $3-400.
