Taurus 327 Defender TORO

Correct it would have to be in 32 h&r mag. As for other places on the internet - that's why I don't bother with places not P-F.

For .32SW - the Lapua Match Wadcutter is the best and most consistent ammo one can buy in .32Long.

The Lapua’s are the best! And they are proud of them! LOL but my choice for a carry WC for sure.

I agree re: other forums. If people are complaining about S&W choosing .32 mag. instead of .327, I have to wonder if they have ever shot something that powerful in a gun that light, and if so, was it a “hold my beer” moment?

Five .357 shots out of a scandium J frame convinced me that I do not want to do that again. For comparison, I have not found .454 Casull or .50 AE in a gun properly designed for them to be uncomfortable.

This .327 gun looks quite cool in it's own right, but I hope S&W/Lipsey's recent SHOT show success leads Taurus to conclude it's worth pursuing the .32 H&R in lightweight constructions instead of exclusively heavier .327 guns. Also, true rear sights on more small guns. I'm sure Caleb will help them notice the way.

Someone needs to make a revolver frame with a rear sight plate system that has an integrated removable rear sight filler plate like on the original P365 XL. It seems like this could totally solve revolver sights once and for all.

+1 for 6 shot lightweight 32 H&Rs and actual rear sights

It's kinda crazy that I'm saying this, but the Taurus small frame revolvers have a really well done gutter sight. Far better than any I've seen on a smith or a ruger or an other gutter sight style gun....it's honestly about as good as some dovetailed sights I've seen.

I'm sorta with Caleb when he mentioned that adding dovetailed sights would defeat the purpose of something like a 856 or 327 being that much less expensive than a similar option from Smith or Ruger. Especially since Taurus makes a replaceable front sight, you can tune your POI anyways.

If a gutter sight "looks" like a decent sight from behind the gun, it's mostly fine

I recently got the orange Ameriglo front sight from Taurus and put it on my 856. While it's nicer than the factory black blade, I can see right away why Caleb likes the XS standard dot better. In light of DB's comments on the new Lipseys UC guns, I'm going to install green XS Standard Dots on both my 856 and SP-101. Since both guns are stainless, I will dremel out the rear notches to U shape if I feel the need to.
