I love my .22lr LCR and I’m intrigued by .32 HR mag in the platform. Has anyone got a link to any recent ballistic tests in .32 mag?
I’ve said somewhere here before that if police service revolvers like the NY-1 model 64 k-frame had been made as a 7-shot .327 Fed back in the 80’s, with attendant ammo advances since then, there would still be some grandfathered in holsters today.
Only downside: the full-on .327 Fed is crazy loud in a short barreled revolver. Maybe not indoor AR loud, in absolute terms, but loud enough that if you have a twin sister, it’ll pop her cherry when you shoot it.

That's true. I said before I was surprised at the palm slap of a full bore 327 in my 632 SS J frame the first time I shot it. Not that I can't handle it but it wasn't a cream puff.
Seems like the GP100 six-inch half lug may be the best revolver for the .327 Fed. Half-lug the barrel to make it just right. Although I'd settle for a six-shot, six-inch SP101 in the chambering. Might even be more just right.

Not another dime.
I picked up a 3" sp101 in .327 fed. primarily to shoot .32 mags with. No desire for the .327 but I have a dual cylinder Buckeye Blackhawk in .32 mag, 32-20. Put the 32-20 in the buckeye and shoot the .32 mags in the sp101. Good deal all the way around.
