Well, mine came in yesterday. I had put it on layaway, but was able to just go ahead and have them send it to my FFL. No pictures of it, but if you've seen one, you've seen them all I suppose. It's the flat black model that takes some getting used to, but I suppose it's fine for a carry gun that's going to get kicked around anyway. Besides, for the price ($319.00) I wasn't expecting a Python. I ran a patch with some CLP through the bore and charge holes and got a little crud out. Then I added a little white nail polish to the front sight, followed by a little orange, and now the front sight POP's out at me. A little oil here and there and things smoothed up a bit.
The trigger on mine isn't awful. I suppose it's a little heavy, but quite smooth. I can either stage the trigger, or just pull it straight through. The S/A pull is right at 7 pounds, but I never use SA anymore, so that's not a concern. No idea on the DA, my scale only goes to 8 pounds. It's not as light as the trigger on my 642 but as I said, it's very smooth. I was sort of surprised, but I'm not sure why. The other Taurus revolvers I've owned had pretty good triggers. I can pull it straight through without moving the front sight off the "target." A little oil here and there didn't hurt it that's for sure. I've probably dry fired it a couple hundred times.
The grip was my other area of concern. The only Taurus grip I've used were their old wood ones which I thought were very good. The "Ribber"...not so much. I had one on a 44 Tracker, and it got replaced pretty quickly. This one gives me a good purchase and gives me a 2 1/2 finger grip. I'll give it a try before worrying about rather I'll need something else.
It's a little bigger I guess than my 642, and heavier. No real surprise there either. It's a steel frame, vs an aluminum "airweight." It's probably 6-8 ounces heavier, but fits into the Don Hume J.I.T. holsters I have for a J-frame. I'm not sure the J.I.T will be a good fit for it though. The J.I.T. works fine with the internal hammer on the 642, but the 327's exposed hammer might want to dig into my side. I may want a kydex model with a side protector. Jury is out on that for now.
I'm planning to take it to the range, either this morning, or tomorrow and give it a few rounds. I don't have any 327 ammo (it's on order) but I do have some 32 Long that I'll give a try.
