Had one when first came out, a smith revolver. After 100 rds or so, traded it to a friend and went back to my J-frame 38 spec for my carry gun. Still not sure why I bought the 327 but was not for me.

I have 3 smith carry revolvers, all with 2 1/2 inch barrels in all steel construction. Each one shoots great using standard round nose lead and very quick and easy using speed loaders.

I too dropped hanging out there, I think the price of 22 ammo and the fact just about all the gun makers of quality 22's seem to have gone away may have helped as well. The 10-22 was the flagship...
