does anyone recommend the .327 revolver in general and/or ruger model in particular? When (if) my expungement goes through and I get an FID, I'm looking at it as a first purchase for HD. But by the looks of things, laser pistols will probably be available by then.

The only issue with 327 fed is that ammo availability is sparse. Its big draw was a 6th shot in the small j frame / sp series revolvers.

 

By the time your ID comes in, the regular 4" 38's should be making their way back.

People say great things about the .327's ballistics. And there's nothing wrong with an SP, except I haven't seen one in that caliber online or irl in a looong time.

And indeed, Ruger has stopped making these indefinitely.
