Had a charter arms 327 back when all they offered was the short barrel. It was a fun little gun but went down the road after I realized ammo was ridiculously expensive and at the time didn't reload so that was out. I'd love to find a gp100 ( think they had a run on that frame) or even the sp101 if they had a longer than 3 inch barrel on it.

Hickok45 does a video with a Henry in 327 holds it with 2 fingers and the weight of the gun holds recoil when fired. But he's knocking over decent sized steel plate hog targets so they are packing some punch.

Interesting round. Looks like Henry is building a lever gun for it now. I bet that is super fast. 32-20???

Henry made one back in 08 I believe. Glad their coming back. Ruger was only manufacturer to my knowledge who still produced a 327 in their LCR or LCRX. They run $800ish IF You actually see one in the store from what I've seen. And I like an LCR but not $800 worth of like. I hear tell that Taurus Bainbridge has made some 327 in the $400 range but have yet to actually see one with my own eyes. By the numbers on paper it's more power behind a smaller lighter bullet then 357 so you feel less recoil but transfer as much or more energy to target.

I have a taurus snub nose that i bought for the wife, a sp101 with about a 4 inch barrel, and a 21 inch barrel for my contender. I went all in and bought 500 rounds of brass and some bullets. I made the mistake of not wearing hearing protection when i fired a speer gold dot from the sp101. I wont do that again unless its an emergency.
