Taurus 327 Defender Toro Package

[Oninotaki]

So Taurus is releasing their 327 in their 3" defender toro platform. I am sharing the page listing cause I think it will get buried in the other .32 h&r magnum j-frame threads.

Lots of new revolvers for 2024

Taurus says it’s DA/SA but only shows pics in the link of the gun with a spurless/bobbed hammer?

Great optic choice. The optic alone is $350.

Bit bummed as I just got one in 2in. If they are actually going to release 3in I would have preferred that. Not so sure about the optic myself.
Good to see more options out there though.

Seems to be a good year for us 32 fans!

Anyone know the timeline on the release of the 3" version?

Hopefully they will make some with an exposed hammer in DA/SA. I also have the two inch model and good many Rugers including the 3” SP101.

Pull the trigger partial and then thumb down the hammer after it is exposed for SA. Has a transfer plate for safety purposes.

This is one I don't understand (well, all of their 327s, not just this one). In a J-frame sized revolver, .32's can have 6 round capacity. This has the same 1.41" cylinder as the 6 shot .38spl 856. I'd have been interested in that platform with a 7 round capacity, but not with the same 6 round capacity as my 856 Defender. I guess I can see the draw of it if you are very recoil sensitive (and only load .32H&R since I doubt the .327mag will be more comfortable than .38+P), but I still don't understand why Taurus didn't put one more round into it. If the pressure of .327mag is too much for 7 rounds in that cylinder, make it .32H&R and get the capacity.

Where does it fill a hole in their lineup? The 856 line is no larger and also holds 6 rounds. The .327mag provides similar power to .38+P but with more recoil. I just don't see the marketing niche, other than for die hard .32cal fans (and how many are there really).
