Does that say .327 Magnum? If so, what's the story behind it?
.327 Federal Magnum, I assume. An awesome round that should be more popular, but because of limited availability of factory loaded ammo and firearms, isn't. True dat... I reload for mine: Freedom Arms M97.

Been trying to do my part...I think maybe 4-5 last year.... Just picked up this one yesterday... It's old but I guess it will still shoot... Bob Bob, That is sweet. I am sure you have a story for us.

I've been looking at an extremely clean S&W 10-8 heavy barrel. Very tempted and may well buy it. I need to do some price research as I have no idea what is a decent price. But I like the revolver a lot. I have one that's like new. Not selling, though. I think I paid like $450 for it about five years ago. I think I can do $400 out the door and the revolver is almost spotless. Only a very light drag line on the cylinder, no blue wear at the muzzle, etc. Snatch that. ^^^^^^

Thanks Bob, Yes, I now remember previous discussion of this project. It came out beautifully. I bet it shoots as good as it looks.

"Are people still buying revolvers? "
Someone must be buying them, because the prices for the classic S & W revolvers ain't doing nothing but going up!
So far this year I have been lucky enough to find:
18-3 24-3 Lew Horton 624 686+ 696 and a Ruger GP100 44 Spl.
So am certainly doing my part.... Have not been sitting on my hands, but you've still got me beat. Last 1 1/2 - 2 yrs 27-2 25-5 625-2 625-6 15-4 Bumming the pawn shops today, found 2 very nice S&W semi-autos (3913 & a .40 cal), a sweet Super Redhawk in .41 magnum, and a primo low round count Security Six .357. I am also doing my part. 2016 was a "banner" year for me, with 36 S&Ws revolvers added to my stable. And, the only one with the Kwikset key lock in the side of it, with cast hammer & trigger is this one:

That hurts just looking at it. I hope you didn't buy any ammo....

I got a hairline wrist fracture shooting off six hot and heavy hard cast Magnum rounds from one once. Never again. It's a .44 Special as far as I'm concerned from now on. I fired a friend's 500 about five years ago.

well, I recently added a new El Paso Tanker holster, for a 5" .44mag for some reason don't have a pic of my newest Revo, a Ruger .480 Bisley. It shoots quite nicely.
