How long are we going to have to wait for the S&W .327 Federal Magnums (besides the 2 offered now). I am surprised and disheartened to not see any S&W .327 J Frame or larger Airlites/Airweights.
I thought the .327 was going to fill the market quickly but now after waiting I'm thinking that S&W might be afraid that the .327 will take sales away from their .357/.38's and new .22 LR/Magnum J frames.
I see the .327 as a potentially close to perfect revolver round for concealed carry. How long are we going to have to wait for a light weight S&W 6 shot Airlite/Airweight J frame like S&W's older .32 H&R Magnum line? Or a 9 or 10 shot aluminum/scandium/titanium revolver like the 296/242's? Remember the 296/242 .44/.38's? I still wonder why S&W cut short the 296/242 line so quickly and I hope the .327 isn't held back for some similar reason.
Is the .327 being held back?
