Excuse my ignorance, what is the PINTO you all are referring to?
Picture would be helpful along what model number information.
Thanks in advance!

The .327 Blackhawk in stainless was produced. But apparently, a very small number of them were also done with a blued cylinder. Not sure of the back story on why,, but they weren't catalogued. Since they as a stainless gun with a blued cylinder,, they got the nickname of being a "Pinto" in the .327 Blackhawk.
I've not seen one,, but there have been (2) pictures here on the Forum with them. Maybe a detailed search would give you a picture.

I agree that it was likely stainless.At this point, my memory has been shaken and stirred!
I remember it was an 8 shot, and said New Model Blackhawk on the frame. At this point, I think it must have been stainless, and I'm confusing it with one of the blued guns I looked at. Sorry for the confusion.
Either one was a good deal.
I sold a LNIB 4" GP100 in .327 late last year for $1250 shipped.
And I've sold two LNIB stainless .327 Blackhawks in the last few years for $1500 shipped and another fairly well used one with some scratches for $1225 shipped.
The 32h&r was the perfect nitch,,, at first,,, then it lost its "Magnums",,, because it was too much for a certain brand of revolver.
The 327M was brought out to give "Joe Blow" his true Magnum back.
With that being said, The true .32h&r enthusiasts know that you can hand load to Ruger Only Magnum Velocities. ((if there is such a thing
)All the hurry to re-chamber the 32h&r to 327M was/is Not Safe.
The reason for 7 chambers on the 327 M was to locate the bolt stop notches to a place on the cylinder to gain needed material thickness for 45k psi -vs- 21k psi/32h&r.

Not just the ammo. Whenever a revolver (make, model, doesn't matter) in 327fed (actually 32H&R also) is put on a shelf around here it will not last over a day.
Yup, there is a pent-up need for them "round here".
I would love to be able to pair up a Blackhawk in 327 with a lever action. I think that would be the total bees knees, so to speak.
Not sure it would be any good for anything... but I sure do think it would be fun.

After a few reported failures a lot of the custom gunsmiths quit doing the simple re-chamber,,, significant?…
IMO; There is really no advantage to doing this on a Single Six as the 32h&r can be loaded up, However there is No reliable published known Ruger Only Loads or data.
Again the off the shelf ammo for "Joe" is a piffle to what the cartridge is capable of,,, thus the 327M.
But if anybody needs some, I have a few boxes available.
When Ruger and Lipsey's announced the Single Seven this was part of the verbiage.
Fortunately, the fine engineers at Ruger tinkered with the design and chose to shorten the barrel shank. The shank extends into the cylinder window which enabled them to lengthen the cylinder ever so much to make the 327 Federal fit. They also were able to make it a seven shot cylinder instead of a six. One advantage of odd number chambered cylinders is that the bolt notches are cut between the chambers and not directly over them. The Single Seven is the gun a lot of 32 caliber shooters have been waiting for since that first release of the 327 Federal. You can get your's in 4-5/8″, 5-1/2″, and Single Six non-Hunter model 7-1/2″ barrel.
I'm happy I got my 5.5" Single Six in .32 H&R back when I did. It's a cowboy style, like a Vaquero, with fixed sights. Last year I added a 5.5" Single Seven Bisley in .327. It wasn't too expensive. I think I'm pretty well covered on .32s at the moment, though I might add that Lipsey's S&W Airweight Centennial that they just dropped.
I understand that the two tone, (catalog no. KBN-3275A), was actually an error. There were supposedly 68 non stainless cylinders produced by mistake, and rather than scrap them they built them, gave them their own model no, (00356), and made them available to employees. Mine is as pictured above, blue cylinder, ejector, and ejector housing. Fired case is also dated 3/13. My source didn't know if all 68 were actually produced or not.
Nice litter of beauties you have there !
There’s a guy out of Idaho whose company is Lost River Ammunition. He’s a manufacturer and worked with Lipsey’s on their distributor model J frames 642 and 442 in 32 H&R.
He sells a load of handgun ammo mostly on the Campfire but also on the internet. Excellent ammo, I’ve bought quite a bit of it. He also ships to most states. PM me if you have questions. I get nothing for it just a pleased customer.

I like being in the 327 Fed club. I started with a 4” SP101, then the Henry carbine, then a LCRX. I found some 32 H&R brass when I was having a hard time finding 327 ammo, so I added a 5” 32 H&R single six and a 3” SP101 in 32 H&R. 32 caliber is addictive!
Hope some of these type 'jewels' are at the upcoming show near me in two weeks. Things to take with me; C&R FFL, Credit card, Pocket edition of "Reference of Ruger Firearms".

I really wasn't a fan of the 327 nor of the birds head grip. This one kind of changed my mind -

I think I may have injured my wrist this morning.
Got an e-mail from Davidsons, that the 4.2" .327 SP101's were in stock. Funny how fast you can draw a credit card!
Now if there was just a way to sign up for alerts, and order from Lipseys, I'd really go broke. I'm really surprised they don't have a gallery of guns type feature.

Yeah I have friends with 35 Remington and 17 Super Mag. I was fortunate to find alternate slides and barrels for my 41ae.
Got tar on it when I was 10!!!

LGS had American Eagle 100gr .327 on the shelf this afternoon! $37.99 a box but it’s the first I’ve seen in a long time. It’s a good sign.

I already have a blued plow handle Single Seven …now if it was a Bisley or a birdshead I might have picked it up. Besides, if I really want one Davidson’s has the 3” SP101 in stock right now.
