Paul's never going to get the money to buy a $500 Ruger .327 to test it a few times, then say the same stuff everyone else says about how there's not enough ammo variety out there and the price is too high.

I expect he would say something to the effect that ".327 does give you an extra round over .38/.357 and can shoot weaker ammo with felt recoil the same as a .22. Whether or not you believe that's worth the increased cost of ammo, difficulty of finding said ammo, and a smaller projectile... you be the judge."

I think .327 or really the .32 caliber in general is capable of getting the job done. .380 is very difficult for me to shoot well, .327 or .32 H&R in a 6 shot revolver will probably make hits at 25 yards boringly repeatable and I'd rather carry a boringly accurate snub revolver than an impossibly difficult to shoot well .380.
