I will buy one when my daughter gets her CC, maybe Taurus, maybe not. Basically a .357mag balisticaly with .38special +P recoil.

.357 Magnum in a 2-inch barrel is pointless. All of your powder goes to making a big flame at the end of the barrel instead of bullet energy. Personally, I'd get a larger revolver that can take advantage of the .357's potential while still shooting .38 special on the cheap. If I really wanted a snubby revolver I'd pick .38 spl +P.

I've heard some good things about .327 Fed lately. Good ballistics, manageable recoil. Sort of a mini .357. Not a bad carry round.

.327 Fed is actually an evolution of the .32 and .32 Mag, same case diameter, same primer pocket shape, same taper, same rim diameter and thickness...
think of it as just that, a hotted up .32 mag.
I have shot a ruger SP-101 in it before, and really liked how light the recoil was, but it's still a pretty small peice of lead...

Weird. I read the title as a 327Chevy powered front engined dragster. Sorry.

+1. But I'm not a gun guy.

Even +p is burning up a lot of powder outside the barrel. I want to get a chronograph and test this all out.

It's a cute cartridge but I don't see any ballistic or packaging issues that would justify my spending more money on another gun.
Might make a nifty round for a Winchester '92, though.
