Apparently I have been asleep at the wheel. I used to know about every new gun or cartridge that was set to come out. Now all I do is work and I don't get out much.
So I was poking around on the internet and I saw this little gem.

It looks to be about the size of my prized Keltec P3AT, but with the Ruger name on it. No disrespect to Keltec, but I never have been to enthused about their build quality, Rugers are built like tanks. Very intriguing.
And then I saw something about a .327 Federal Magnum cartridge. Whats the deal? Hotter than a .32 H&R? I'm going to look it up. The .32 H&R Mag. hasn't been very successful lately, there is hardly any factory ammo available for it. I'm really surprised that anybody still chambers a new revolver in it.
Here is what I found:

Interesting, it is what I initially thought, a hot rodded .32 H&R Magnum. But it can also chamber .32 H&R and .32 S&W. I'll probably stick with my .357 J frame Smith. Although I have always wanted a 4" SP101 in .32 H&R Mag. for no good reason. They still make it, so I can get one. I ran into a guy selling one a while back when I didn't have the money. It was virtually brand new. He was selling it because he couldn't find ammo for it. I don't see a bright future for the .327 Federal Magnum, but I do like that little .380 for a pocket gun.
