327 Blackhawk

[cedarcreek]

Looking for information on the 327 Blackhawk. Production, availability, price... Thanks

I don't know about production info but I do know they don't show up all that frequently but when they do asking price is ussually up there, I've seen them go as high as a grand on GB but then the next one will have a high asking price but just sit without selling so who knows, not sure what book value is but I suspect it's quite a bit less than these prices on GB
I have one and love it it's well made and shoots well and would never part with it
I'm sure a member with far more knowledge than I will fill in the blanks for you
Good luck

Production - 500-ish from a factory source; not a pre-paid order, so more than one distributor received them.
Availability - is where you find them. Made in 2009-10 only AFAIK.
Price - I paid $650 and sold mine for $675, 150 rounds through it. Guy at the range just had to have it.

5 1/2" barrel, eight-shot cylinder individual CNC-drilled charge holes, 48 oz. dry weight, brushed stainless only, catalog #KBN-3275, model #0353. MSRP $681.
The 38-xxxxx serial number range was taken from the 357Magnum range, there is no distinct prefix for the 327FM models.

I have one, and as said, is heavy. Mine seems nicely finished though. But, if I were to decide to sell a gun, this one would be gone before several other 32 calibers.

Thanks for the information.

Don't forget about the two-tone ones that were also made.

I have one,,, and I LOVE mine. It's heft balances quite well for me,, and that 327 screams with little felt recoil.
Limited in numbers,, and as such, command higher prices. I would not part with mine for a grand either.

Thanks again. With your input I was able make a decision, I need one. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.

With so much "need" out there it's about time Ruger reintroduces them. :D Let's hope.

I would love to see the BlackHawk again in 327 BUT... It needs to be in the Flattop with an extra cylinder for 32-20. I have one of the original ones- bought the first one I saw. It will be one of the last ones I sell. It is really fun to take to range where everyone expects 6 shots and you have two more :mrgreen:

Good luck with finding one.

I was on the hunt for one for a LONG time and finally snagged one on Gun Broker NIB for around $750 recently. That gun can shoot! I was shooting dime to nickel-size groups from bench support with open sights at 25 yards at my indoor range during my last outing. It is likely the most accurate revolver I own!
