it brings about the same energy to a fight as a 9mm a touch more than 38spl but midway currently has 6 327fed mag options only 1 in stock , I Didn't count the 9mm or 38spl but both had more than 50 with a lot more options in personal defense ammo.

it is cool in theory but it's availability might be a issue

being a big fan of buy what you can afford to practice with , it doesn't seem like it is a round most people would practice with most ammo choices are a dollar a round the even practice ammo if it was in stock would be 50 cents a round

I see twice as much practice happening when practice ammo is 25 cents a round

and practice is the thing I see far to little of happening every day as it is.

Yes, the 327 mag ammunition costs more than both 38 special and 357 mag as well as 9mm.

Practice IS important and cost effective ammo helps big time.

I would recommend reading the ballistic testing by Luckygunner for different revolvers. They have a ton of research with different ammo in various calibers. Helped me figure out which loads fit my different carry guns.



OK MOST of you guys are missing the point or just don't read the whole post.
He wants a first gun for HIS WIFE !!!!

Why post what you carry and magnum this 444 auto that. SHE IS A NEW SHOOTER..... Don't care if it is less recoil wad cutters or no bounce bull stoppers, If you give a woman ANY 38 caliber to shoot the first time she shoots a gun they may drop it. When you guys got your first gun what was it?

Most was a 22 and some even a BB gun. Don't turn her off before she starts.....


WIFE???????????????????? NO!!!!!!! LOL It is a Family Member.

Just got back from sheels with my gal, went through all the cases revolvers and pistols. She picked an s&w sheild in single stack 9mm with a manual safty has her favorite. For $299 on sale too hard to pass it up. She's been talking about getting her ccw and has asked me to show her how the different ones work plus go to the range.

I have heard that some mother in laws require some serious stopping power not found in a handgun caliber of any sort. And that is just to stop them from talking.
