Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger 327 Fed for sale
Is the .327 Federal Magnum any good?
Yes. The .327 Federal Magnum bridges the gap between .38 Special and .357 Magnum, delivering solid power at 45,000 psi with good accuracy. It's versatile—revolvers chamber .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, and .32 H&R Magnum rounds too. Recoil sits between .38 and .357, making it practical for self-defense and concealed carry.
Is 327 Federal Magnum more powerful than 9mm?
Yes. The .327 Federal Magnum operates at 45,000 psi and generates roughly 500–600 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, compared to 9mm's typical 350–400 ft-lbs. It hits harder but ammunition is scarce and expensive. Most shooters choose 9mm for everyday practicality.
What caliber will a 327 Federal Magnum shoot?
A .327 Federal Magnum revolver fires .327 Federal Magnum cartridges. It also safely chambers and shoots .32 H&R Magnum, .32 Long, .32 Auto, and .32 Short rounds, giving five compatible cartridge options in one revolver.
Is 327 Federal Magnum obsolete?
No. Federal still produces .327 Federal Magnum ammunition, and our marketplace shows 3 variants across 18 retailers, all in stock. Revolvers chambered in this caliber remain available. It's a niche cartridge but actively manufactured and sold for self-defense and concealed carry.
Who makes a revolver in 327 Federal Magnum?
Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and Taurus all make revolvers chambered in .327 Federal Magnum. Smith & Wesson uses their J-frame platform, Ruger offers it in the SP101 and Single Seven, and Taurus produces the Taurus 327, a double-action/single-action revolver available with a 2-inch barrel.
Can you reload .327 Federal Magnum rounds?
Yes, .327 Federal Magnum rounds are reloadable. It's considered one of the easier magnum cartridges to reload. Monitor cases carefully for head separation after 3-4 firings, as some shooters report cracking near the case web. Use published load data and start 10% below maximum loads.
How much is a 327 Magnum?
.327 Federal Magnum revolvers vary widely in price by manufacturer. Taurus 327 models are commonly available at lower price points, while the Ruger SP101 carries a higher MSRP. On our marketplace, most listings range from $299.99 to around $939. Smith & Wesson does not currently offer a J-frame in this caliber.
What are some common problems with the Ruger LCR?
Early LCR models experienced cylinder locking issues where the cylinder spun freely past chambers, and some early examples had cylinders opening unexpectedly. Ruger addressed this by switching to a more robust spring in later production. Affected early guns have no repair solutions. Most modern examples perform reliably with proper maintenance.
