haven't had a new gun in awhile so figured this SP101 in 327 Federal would be nice as an early birthday present to myself. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/rattler_mt/guns/P9250434_zps5xcrvdaq.jpg)

Nice, my buddy had one and it shot very well. His son-in-law claimed it after he passed, smart move.

You've done well, Grasshopper...

If I didn't have access to a damned fine 32 H&R magnum, I'd need one of those too.
Nice snag, Rattler.

Hogue makes a set that will let you hang your pinky finger on board. As for the DA, you can always clip a coil or two and I've never seen a centerfire Ruger revolver that didn't benefit from beaucoup dry fire.

Double check for empty cylinder though. It gets expensive otherwise.

left the box of ammo in another room on purpose  gonna have to get some dies and load up some lead though.....local shop just has the Federal 100 grain JSP's....looks like there is a fair number of bullets out there to play with.... not even sure why the 327 interests me so much...lil on the light side for anything but a perfect shot on deer....for similar size i would rather pack my 1911 for CCW....but it ought to be fun for popping gophers and jackrabbits with not to mention no recoil rock killing...

few hours of absentmindedly pulling the trigger then tearing it apart and oiling everything really good again and most the grittyness is gone....still heavy...will either trim the spring like you suggest Joel or a Wolf spring kit is sub $10....not sure which i'll try first...

Yep, as mentioned, get some Hogue's, comfortable, slim, and cheap. They do smooth up after a lot of dry firing. I really like the 4.2" SP101 but don't have one in 327 Fed. Enjoy it!

haven't had a new gun in awhile so figured this SP101 in 327 Federal would be nice as an early birthday present to myself. Very nice indeed. Lots of versatility in terms of cartridges, too. Do they still make this revolver?

327 Federal?
Nice looking revolver!! it's a .32 H&R Magnum on steroids. Can, in fact, accept .32 H&R Magnum and .32 S&W Long.

Do they still make this revolver? its on Rugers site, had my local shop order it in for me and had to wait a couple weeks cause none of their suppliers had one in stock...
