I have been very pleased with my Taurus 327 with the 2" barrel. Nice gun, but when I saw they made a 3' version, I thought I might like one just as a plinking gun, maybe with just 32 Smith and Wesson Long, which I've started to reload, so I picked this one up yesterday. I haven't shot it yet, probably won't get to until the weekend but it's not too bad from the unboxing (those are dummy rounds in the cylinder). It is of course chambered for 327 Federal Magnum, but will handle 32 H&R Magnum, and 32 Smith and Wesson Long ammo. Well, 32 Short too, but I've never actually seen any of that.
Ugly just plain black finish. I'll give you that. But the trigger isn't bad at all. The hammer is factory bobbed and is DA only. It's drilled and taped for an optical sight from the factory. What Taurus calls the "T.O.R.O." model (Taurus Optical Ready Option...or something like that). The front sight is a BRIGHT orange, but has a green (triitium?) insert that glows in the dark. The front sight is replacable and there is another plain black front sight included in the box. There is also another rubber "boot" type grip in the box as well as the optical sight mount and screws. I've got one of those Ruger red dot sights, but I doubt I'll ever try it. Maybe...
I hadn't really thought about carrying it at first but it's probably not a bad choice. I've owned a number of Taurus revolvers over the years and have never had a problem with them. The 2" 327 I've got now, has about 500 rounds through it with narry a hickup. I'm looking forward to seeing if the longer barrel and bigger grips make any difference.
