Not an S&W but I do have a Ruger SP101 3" in 327 Mag. and really enjoy shooting it. More recoil with the 327 than .38+P. 32 S&W long is like shooting a little bigger 22 round. Also have some 32 H&R Mag which is somewhat easier on the recoil than the 327. Compared to 38 Special ammo is a little pricey and harder to find. Big plus is getting 6 shots out of a J frame. Sounds like a nice one that you don't see too often.

 

Thank you for the reply. I agree that the extra round is a great bonus. I bet the recoil in the SP101 is still quite manageable. I've found those Ruger's to be pretty hefty.

SG Ammo has the HST round but i'm also looking for some non defense rounds. I sure wish i'd taken up reloading years ago.

All the best,

 

I like the caliber and prefer it to the 38Spcl, the 115gr Gold Dot is a hard hitter, expands well and penetrates deep in soft tissue.

I have one in SP101 and the Mrs has a Taurus snub...that never gets shot.

 

@BonitaBob thanks for the reply. Yesterday while picking up a transfer I located some of these gold dots at a gun store. Looking forward to trying them out.

if I could only find a 327 lever gun too.

I ordered my Henry Big Boy Steel Carbine in .327 fed direct from Henry (well, I had my LGS order it from Henry for me, got their dealer discount). That was at the end of 2019... it is still available, but you need to order it as no one stocks them.

It works well, even does .32 H&R mag well - .32 S&W Long work too, if you are gentle with it.


I have a 632 myself... love it!
That factory port tames muzzle rise very well.

 

Well, I am green with envy.

 

I’m trying to put together all 4 of the known variants of the 632 in 327. I have 2 but am missing this one. Have you seen any that are available recently?

 

which one? The 2” version?

 

I have the standard black and stainless. I need the 632-2 and the one made for Sports South (?)….

 

My 632-2 is the 2 1/4” snub. I’ve only seen one in the wild and immediately bought it for what I thought was a great deal as it was NIB and unfired. I always like to have two of everything and have yet to see another.

I suppose the caliber kept these from being popular. I actually enjoy the 327 federal magnum and find it to be a capable performer from the snubs.

good luck in your quest. They are out there.

These are my 2. I need the sport south and the centennial.

 

If anyone would like to sell a S&W 632-1 I would like to buy, please contact me jmagenn@q.com. Thanks, PDvarmint
