Im hoping for a lever gun to be made. I think that would revive the market. its a government issued round. Its going to be around for a while.
Tough to find 4" sp-101

Saw two at On Target today. Not sure if they were 3" or 4" tho.
Hopefully he isn't mistaking the moniker "Federal .327 mag" as meaning it's government issued.

I love my 3" in .38 Spl
Saw one in Des Moines, IA online. Too bad it's out-of-state for you. I would look heavily at this, if in town:

I tried to warn you, but I give you kudos for trying to find what she thought she wanted! Seriously, I hope you find it.
I had a lot of hope for the round when it hit the market and really wanted it to succeed. I'm afraid that with it dropped from the SP-101, it's done. It will hang on like .45GAP, but never more than a niche.
I just received an email that they're relaunching this gun. I wonder what changed.

I'm intrigued by this combination the more I think about it.

You can still shoot .32 Magnum and .32 Long and Short out of it, so it's not like it's going to be a paperweight due to lack of ammunition.
Saw several, both new and used, at the Oaks show yesterday.

I've got one of the .327 Fed Magnum SP-101's. Had to get is sent in from a shop in America...I mean Idaho. Shoots any .32 revolver round. Except for the .327, recoil is minimal at best. Even with the .327, it feels less than a .38, especially in a smaller frame. I'd like to see this round survive.
edit:
just checked Ruger's site...listed there again as noted above. Maybe they'll reinvent the GP-100 in .327 as well.

It seems I lost track of my own thread somehow. I did finally find one locally, at On Target. If i remember right, the price was $647 for the 4.3" SP-101. I also took some advice from this thread and went back to Gunbroker/google. I found that at gunbroker pricing, plus a local FFL, (not a store) I could save a bit of money. I used Joe Buck (http://www.buckguns.com/) in sykesville (I recommend him to anyone in the area), and after shipping I believe my exact total cost came to 605$. It saved me ~$50 total i'd guess not buying from On Target, but I felt a bit guilty not supporting a local store owner; so the first time we shot the gun, we went to On Target and rented the range, bought a box of 38, targets, 38+P Hollow points for her to take home, and a box of 45 HP I had been saying I would grab for a year now. (this is MD, not much point in buying HPs if you cant carry. Doesn't make a lot of sense since my 1911 stays locked at home, but I keep the mag loaded with HPs out of principle now anyhow.)
Thanks for everyones help over hte last few months.
Went with the 4" for the adjustable sights. As far as I'm concerned, there's two types of handguns, those to be shot and those to be carried. again, this is MD so this one will be shot. Wanted her to be happy hitting what she aimed at as often as possible.I love my 3" in .38 Spl
Saw that too. Seems like an interesting idea, +1 capacity
I planned on going but didn't make it up. did you happen to notice if the had reloading powder? I'm on an eternal search for Bullseye, Clays, and Unique.
Thanks for everyones help over hte last few months.
