Who currently manufactures 327 revolvers?
I know Ruger makes some 327 magnum revolvers but are there any others? I'd be interested in a SA/DA revolver with a 2 or 3" barrel. The Ruger LCR is DAO and I don't think there is a LCRx in the works.

Right at the moment, NO.
Ruger has three models out. The single 7 with three barrel options. The Sp101 with a 4.5 inch and adjustable sights. And now the LCR. There is two others but one is a high end single action and the other is a two shot derringer. There were other options that are no longer being sold as new. Smith & Wesson had a short barreled J frame version. Taurus had the M327 same as the model 85. ( I have one) Charter had the Patriot in 327 mag. In short barreled and the target patriot. Ruger had the GP100, the Black hawk, and the original SP101 in 3 inch. You can check gun broker for used examples of those. But bring free space on you credit card. Those are the ones I know about.

I know Taurus catches a lot of flack, but I have a 2" stainless M327, and its an excellent little revolver. Its based on the Taurus 85, and that's a great gun. If you watch your local gun boards, the M327 pops up from time to time. They also show up on Gunbroker regularly. Taurus made them stainless and blue, most were 2", but there were a few with ported 3" barrels.
I picked mine up this past summer for $300, in excellent condition, with box, keys and all paperwork. The Taurus 327 seems to be the most common. The S&W J frame 327s command high dollars, upwards of $1,000. There just weren't many Charter Arms Patriots, but when they do show up, they seem to be in the same price class as the Taurus - $3-400. |

Instead you could keep your eyes open for an H&R in .32 H&R. I picked one up for $150.

Whoever does soon won't. It's a dead duck walking at best.

Might take as evidence that as soon as a model goes out of production the value of them doubles. Just look at the sale prices of the 3 inch SP101's Upwards of $1000 now. Its not a huge market, but those that are in it are serious about it and in it for life.

I've got a charter patriot SA/DA with a 2.5" barrel I'd trade for an LCR.
