the issue with the 327 is basically what came to happen with the 41 magnum when it was introduced.

the caliber/cartridge was touted as having muzzle energy higher then the best 38 special +p ammunition, when chambered in the same gun and barrel length, and the ability to expand to nearly .358 upon hitting the target, as well as having the ability to penetrate through the target like a mac truch through a picket line.

reality showed that most people were happy to wait back and be content with their current low powered handguns and be happy with say federal nyclad and its proven expansion, then swap.
