Cease and desist personal insults in the discussion. Discuss the facts and your evaluation of such without innuendo.

Great, maybe then I'll get answers to my questions.

My purpose is to make genuine note of the fact that unlike many other rounds, there is a genuine (LARGE) break point at 3-inches with this round.
The .327 Federal is looked at as a viable defense round because of the speed and energy it can bring, knowing full well that it needs exactly that because the other items that typically make up defensive handgun ammo are simply NOT available. You don't have bullet weight and you don't have bullet size. It's a .32, and you might hope to argue that a ".32" is a viable defensive round, but that's a whole other (worn out) discussion. A ".32" as we've known it for a hundred years is a subcaliber defensive round and not a primary.
The .327 Federal, with it's small size, light weight, small diameter... becomes S-L-O-W also when shot in the snubbie barrels.
The snubbie that nobody makes and nobody other than Taurus did make, and they ceased them also.
Enjoy all the 40,000 PSI blast and fireworks of .327 Federal from the Taurus snubbie. At least you'll get all that...everything else is lacking.
(unless your argument is how much better it is than a .32 Smith & Wesson Long, in which case, *WOW*, you were right all along... )

Can you name a revolver cartridge used in snubbies that doesn't have a significant break point at some longer barrel length?
The fact is, the 327 Fed Mag snubby is impressive. It just isn't as impressive as a longer barreled gun. But let's see if we can agree on where to place it among the snubbies. Can we agree that it's more versatile and capable of damage than the .32 H&R Mag?
Can we agree that it's less capable of damage than the .357 Mag?
Can we agree that it holds one more round for the same cylinder width as the 38 Special/357 Mag?
Can we agree that it delivers more muzzle energy with common factory ammo than the 38 special?
Can we agree that it's not less adequate for personal defense than the 38 Special snubby?
Can we agree that its lack of popularity with manufacturers is likely due to nothing more than a lack of popularity with buyers?
Can we agree that the lack of popularity with buyers indicates nothing more than their personal preferences?
Can we agree that Charter, Ruger, S&W and Taurus have all marketed them? And that they decided that their products' suitability for personal defense is a matter of the buyers' opinions?
Is it your opinion that no snubby is suitable for personal defense? If not, where do you draw the line and what metrics do you base that on?
