Description
The .327 Federal Magnum is one of the smartest cartridges nobody talks about enough, and the Taurus 327 puts it in a package you can carry all day. You get ballistics that run close to .357 Magnum with noticeably less recoil, plus a sixth round in the cylinder where most small-frame magnums only give you five. This version wears a matte stainless steel barrel, cylinder, and frame with a 2 inch barrel, and the whole thing measures just 6.55 inches end to end.
One Taurus 327, Several Ammo Options
Here is the part that makes this revolver such a practical buy. Along with full-power .327 Federal Magnum, the cylinder happily accepts .32 H&R Magnum and .32 S&W. That means cheap, mild practice sessions with the lighter stuff and serious defensive loads when it rides in the holster. New revolver owners and recoil-sensitive folks especially appreciate having a genuine magnum that does not beat up their hands during training.
Built for the Holster, Not the Shelf
The DA/SA action gives you a smooth double-action pull for defensive work and a crisp single-action option when you have time to cock the exposed hammer. A transfer bar safety keeps things drop-safe, and the finger-grooved rubber grip soaks up recoil while giving your hand real purchase on the small frame. Up top, a removable serrated ramp front sight pairs with a snag-free fixed rear channel, exactly what you want on a gun that needs to clear a pocket or waistband cleanly. The matte stainless finish shrugs off sweat and holster wear better than blued steel, which matters on a gun that gets carried more than it gets cleaned.
Where the 327 Fits
At roughly 23 ounces, it has enough heft to tame the magnum loads without dragging your belt down. That makes it a natural for concealed carry, a backup role, or a nightstand gun for someone who wants revolver simplicity with more than a snub .38 brings to the table. Six rounds, stainless durability, and ammo flexibility in one compact wheelgun is a hard combination to argue with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Taurus 327 shoot ammo other than .327 Federal Magnum?
Yes, and that is one of its biggest selling points. Because of how the .32 caliber cartridge family is designed, this revolver safely fires .32 H&R Magnum and .32 S&W in addition to full-power .327 Federal Magnum. Many owners practice with the milder .32 loads and carry magnum ammo for defense.
How does .327 Federal Magnum recoil compare to .357 Magnum?
It delivers ballistics in the neighborhood of .357 Magnum but with noticeably softer recoil, especially out of a 23 ounce steel-frame gun like this one. Owners frequently compare the felt recoil to shooting .38 Special. That makes it a great choice for anyone who wants magnum performance without the punishing snap.
Is the Taurus 327 a good concealed carry revolver?
That is exactly the role it was built for. The 2 inch barrel, 6.55 inch overall length, and snag-free fixed rear sight make it easy to carry and draw, while the stainless construction holds up well against sweat and holster wear. You also get six rounds in the cylinder, one more than most small-frame magnum revolvers.
Does the Taurus 327 have a hammer you can cock for single action?
Yes, it uses a traditional exposed hammer with a true DA/SA action. You can run it double action for defensive use or thumb the hammer back for a lighter, crisper single-action trigger at the range. A transfer bar safety means the gun will not fire unless the trigger is fully pulled.
