There was a time back in my USPSA days that all I did was double action revolver with a 610 S&W. At one time I did 90,000 over a 2 year period, if that sounds like a lot, it was. But Todd Jarrett did 100,000 in 6 months getting ready for the world championships so my small amount pales compared to his. Also in USPSA you are kind of slapping the trigger because you are running the cylinder so fast, when Bob shoots, it's very deliberate & calculated......and accurate way out there, did I say way out there.
Way out there? My Bushnell Laser said he was hitting badger mounds at 600 and 700 yds with a 4 inch model 57. I hit a few also, but I used (a lot) more of the cylinder to get them on target. I was using my 7.5 inch SBH hunter in 41 mag.
Good Times!

Great prices on Taurus 327s. Vendor is GTG! No tax outside AL and $20 shipping. $266 for blued and $295 for stainless. I shot mine for the first time today and loved it. The short trigger travel (compared to my SP101 trigger travel) is fantastic.
Crap Paul. That is less than half the price of a Ruger LCR. Could ALMOST hand them out as Christmas presents. Great stocking stuffers for the kiddies. Buds has the LCR for $632....$650 on a card.

They are pretty stout little revolvers. Not lightweights by any stretch. I suppose I have normal size hands, and they fit very well. The blued one is kind of a matte finish, that some have said is a rust magnet. The stainless ones weren't out when I bought mine or I would have gone with a stainless.

That is a whole lot. Likely more than I will shoot with all guns over the course of my life.
3 of my 5. The missing are the single six and the 4" SP101, my favorite..In the back of the safe somewhere. These are the 432PD, the Ruger Bisley and the Charter Arms Professional.

The first gun in the photo is my 8 shot Blackhawk 327 & a very dead rock chuck taken with the 116 gr GC HP & a hefty charge of H110. Second photo is the same gun with some ground squirrels, I made the stocks out of Amboyna Burl. The third photo is my 32 magnum single six shooting the RCBS 100 gr swc over 3.0 grs of WST, runs about 950 fps, very accurate & minimal recoil. Then the same gun along with my Buckeye 32/20 that also has a 32 magnum cylinder. Built on the Blackhawk frame, when using the 32 magnum cylinder you almost....almost have to look down the barrel to make sure the bullet is gone. Do NOT do this! Ermine with the 32/20 Buckeye & the 116 gr HP, this is a very fast load, could be used for deer with the heavy 135 gr bullet. These Ermine are called Weasels in the summer. Big rock chuck, taken with the 8 shot 327 Blackhawk & the 116 gr GC HP. Utah depredation antelope taken at 74 yds with the 8 shot Blackhawk & the 135 gr Ferminator GC HP. Even though this is a HP it is a long shank bullet & holds up very well on game. The antelope was down in 10-15 yds & complete penetration. Grouse with the single six 32 magnum & 3.0 grs of WST, very little meat damage with this load, you can eat the bullet hole. Blackhawk 32/20 target at 25 yds, extremely accurate with a cheap 1X4 scope. Shootist, limited edition edition Single Seven 327 with stag horn stocks, gun is reworked by Bobby Tyler of Friona, Texas, shoots better than I can. S&W 4" 16-4 in 32 magnum & combat stocks, scary accurate with either the 100 gr RCBS or a 100 gr plain base HP. 5.5 grs of WST makes it whistle Dixie!! S&W 32 Long 5 shot pocket gun. The double action master, Bob with my 8 shot 38 Super & 128 gr HP's, had to wrestle it away from him, he's a snake shooting it double action. Here's Bob with a Rock Chuck with the 16-4.

Great writeup Dick.
There cannot be a whole lot of people who can say that they have taken game like speed goats with a .327. That is impressive. All the others as well.
That is impressive. Had to do a double take on that pic.
Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.
The other 3 32 H&R revolvers. A single six my father in law used for cowboy action a 4" SP101 and the 3" SP101. My idea of the perfect Kit Gun!

I just picked up a Colt Pocket Positive this past summer it shoots nice with factory loads ànd I got set up to reload.for.it. Anyone have experienced with the Charter Arms 3" 32?
This should be some outstanding 327 ammo & it would be fast handling in double action mode.
Thanks Idaho1945.
For someone who wants a 6 shot low recoil pocket revolver (versus 5 shots in a .38 Special J Frame), I think this would be a very good option. I have enjoyed shooting this ammo in the Ruger LCR. Quite a difference in recoil between a regular .38 Special load and the .32 WCs.
