Just watched Lipsey's YouTube clip of Lipsey new S&W Jframe featured at SHOT. Lotta upgrades. If a fan of J's, think would enjoy. .32 version takes 6rds. Would post here but don't know how. Oh, and no hole!

Aarrrrrgghhh 32 H&R magnum, not 327 Fed Mag? Why? It would just give more flexibility.
Still an awesome version. I might need to get one when they are available. It would be my first new S&W ever.

I to question why not 327 federal magnum. Probably because of the pressures and the frame. Still, its a positive step. I just hope that S&W or Lipsey's QC's them well.
Aluminum frame not strong enough for 327 fed mag. Scadium frame would likely double the cost.
Suggested list is to be 759.00, I have my name on a list with one of my LGS tt is a Lipsey's dealer.
Hopefully they will come thru by end of Feb.

No doubt @Electraclyde is correct and coming out with a 3rd version 327 Fed in Scandium was just too much overhead. The MSRP price is reasonable.
I am grateful they chose to do a 32 H&R Mag. Maybe the ammo makers will start making some again.
Looking at the promotion pics, there is a filler hole just below the cylinder release, almost like they used a Hillary Hole delete kit. I wonder if those will be on the production guns.

I wonder if the new titanium pins are pressed in and if that is one of them. I just checked my 442PC no lock that I bought about 6+ years ago and it does not have that pin showing thru and no other indication of a lock.
I want to personally see one or see pics of a production gun, in the wild so to speak. I can easily understand them using a filler kit on the early pre-production or mock-up guns as they went back and forth on design elements.
Over the last year, I've been buying 327 Fed Mag and 32 H&R Mag ammo. At least in my case, I found many more deals on 327 Fed Mag than on 32 H&R Mag. The 32 H&R Mag was significantly more expensive and harder to find, which is unfortunate, as I think they are both good rounds.
Considering your comment, I now see the other is the 38 Special, not 357 Mag, so strength was probably a factor. My 632 is vented, so I wonder if another factor is recoil management. An all aluminum J-Frame might not be easy for many to control recoil. My 632 is stainless steel and weighs 25 oz, so stronger and heavier.
