I was figuring to see a target with a big ragged hole tore out!

I must say that the pictures sure were purdy though. Are ya gonna get to pop it off today?

I'll be at the range in 30 minutes...  Woke up one eyed this morning so I'll be mostly noise making... Here is your chance to shoot one.  Come on out and meet me at Larry's..  Only loaded 50 rounds so you better get there quick...

Hey Axehandle:

That is one pretty gun. How hard is it to change to a Bisley grip on one of these, or does Ruger offer one in stainless steel (Bisley 327?)

Keep us posted how it shoots,

You have got to make your own....  Mostly just a parts swap... Grip frame, grips, hammer, trigger...  I have seen the parts at Midway and Brownell's.  Brownell's usually has the grip frames in stock more often than Midway. If you have a Blackhawk with the lock you will also need a new hammer strut, hammer spring, and the clip that sits on the frame for the strut and spring.   A new grip frame will be over size where it mates to the cylinder frame... With the stainless version all it takes is a little match filing  Be very careful to stay away from the original metal on the cylinder frame...  Here are pics of a a pair of new frames I sent to Cary Chapman to have black micarta grips fitted.  The next two pics are the parts of the new grip frame that have to be filed to fit.

I got mine last week..........love it, love the round, shot some 32S&W Longs 98 grain, would not penetrate and old metal cattle feeding trough that my 22's do, now the 327's went through both sides with ease............

I haven't been able to find any .327 rounds for mine yet but I've shoot it with .32 H&R mags and .32 S&W longs, I like it. ;D

Looks like a perfect turkey hunting revolver. And groundhogs.  And squirrels.  Rabbits.  Rocks and cans.  I need one.

Doggone it, You guys are going to make me want one. I'm thinking it'd be the best small game/varmint cartridge going.  ::)

This looks like a cool gun.  There's one sitting in the display case of one of the stores here in my town.  Asking price is under $600.00 for it.  It's bigger and a lot heavier than a 32 H&R Magnum Single Six, but it looks like a cool idea.  Much cheaper than a custom gun to get the same configuration would be if this weren't available in factory guise.

I paid $495.00 + tax for mine I really like it so far, I had bought a .32 H&R mag single six to have converted but I think I will leave it alone now. It is fun to shoot as it is.

I've been looking for a Single Six in .32 H&R. Can they be converted to 327?

Yes they can but it will cost you around 700 buck plus what you pay for the single six. I was gonna do just that till Ruger saved me about 300 dollars by making the Blackhawk. I still may do it but only if I can come up with a 9.5 inch single six for a good price.
