With that said, I think the superior ballistics, extra round, and lower recoil are going to compel a lot of folks to give it serious consideration. I almost bought an SP101 but it did not feel comfortable in my hand (I ended up with a S&W 638, which fits in my hand live a glove).

I see that as a HUGE disadvantage to compact revolvers is they're all based around frames for those big horse-pill revolver cartridges that are still clinging to the vestigial blackpowder skeletons of their 19th century ancestors.

S&W 686 is 7 shots of 357/38. Nice boring, light recoiling 38 special. You can shoot it in USPSA and ICORE. I guess you would really have to like 327 mag. I would rather see a 6 shot LRC in 327 mag or a 5 shot LRC in 9 mm. Ummm… nice to see Ruger trying something, but a 7 shot 327 mag?

I'm very impressed with Ruger's revolvers, as am I with the .327 Magnum (Tho I dunno if it's enough to get me to choose one over a .38 Sp +P and .357 Magnum wheelie) I'm also very happy to see a company pushing a newer cartridge into the mainstream. .40 S&W isn't very old, but it's become a standard, I would love to see .327 Mag enter those ranks, god knows it deserves it.

Small semis and revolvers made the company and they are sticking with what they know. Am sure the ..327 will eventually make it into the Vaquero line as well. As for me? I now know what my Christmas money will be spent on ... the Blackhawk .327. Sheesh, just what I need. A new caliber for my logistics train. Looks like Ruger is playing to strength.
