The Taurus 327 is a 6-round DA/SA revolver chambered in .327 Federal Magnum with a 2-inch barrel. The .327 Federal Mag is notable for fitting six rounds where most snubnose .38 Special revolvers hold five, and it chambers .32 H&R Magnum and .32 S&W Long as well, which expands practice ammunition options. The walnut grips and matte black carbon steel finish give it a classic appearance.

Detailed Features 

The DA/SA trigger allows the shooter to use either a long double-action pull or a cocked single-action pull, which gives more flexibility than a DAO-only snubnose. The removable serrated blade front sight is a practical feature on a snubnose, since fixed sights at this barrel length can't always be adjusted for elevation. The matte black carbon steel finish holds up under regular use. Walnut grips provide comfortable traction and a traditional aesthetic. 
 

Target Audience 

Concealed carry users who want six-round capacity in a snubnose-length revolver. Also a reasonable choice for sport shooters interested in the .327 Federal Mag cartridge and those who carry as backup during hunting. 
 

Usage Scenarios

2. Sport Shooting: The DA/SA action and accurate sights work for target shooting. 
3. Concealed Carry: The compact dimensions and 1.375 lb weight are suitable for daily carry. 
4. Hunting Backup: The .327 Federal Mag cartridge provides useful stopping power for small game and as a backup to a rifle.

Feedback on the Taurus 327 Compact Revolver covers the usual spectrum of revolver-specific praise and brand-specific skepticism.

Positive reviews consistently highlight the compact size and light weight as practical carry advantages. The .327 Federal Mag cartridge draws attention for its six-round capacity in a snubnose cylinder, which is a genuine advantage over .38 Special snubnoses that typically hold five. The DA/SA trigger is seen as a flexible option for shooters who like the choice between action modes. Walnut grips get credit for both aesthetics and comfort.

Critical feedback focuses on reliability: some users report extraction problems and misfires, though this is not universal. A portion of reviewers compare Taurus's durability unfavorably to other brands in the same price range. .327 Federal Magnum ammunition availability is a recurring concern since it is less stocked than .38 Special or .357 Magnum at most retailers, which can increase the effective cost of ownership.
