I bought the blued version earlier this year & it was rife with problems. It's the worst Ruger I've ever bought regarding QC & they should be embarrassed that it left the factory. We've all heard of QC issues in recent years & I found out they're true. Sadly, it's likely the last new Ruger revo I'll ever buy.
 
Ah heck, now they come out with stainless........
I do like my blued half lug SP 101.....
Don't know that there is money in the budget for another SP????
 
My original blued model purchased a year or so ago has run exceptionally well. I’m glad to see Lipsey’s providing .32 family shooters with options . . . including those aesthetically-challenged folks who can’t appreciate the beauty of blued steel.

Well, my blue 327 was too!
If I had not had a friend special order it, I never would have accepted it when it was delivered.
Just an awful feeling action in every respect.
Fairly familiar with the SP guts it all worked out OK.
I don't know it for a fact, but I just know that the trigger guard assembly was installed in the frame with a mallet because that is what it took to get it out!
Files were needed to have it install and disassemble as it should. Entire gun was poorly fit.
But all is OK now and I like it.

Well I'll pile on here too. My blued 327 had a large gouge in the forcing cone that peened enough steel to rub on the cylinder face. The trigger would stick in the rearward most position, the bluing was mostly missing from the cylinder latch, and the ejector rod looked like a used one from a high mileage gun. I wasn't able to even fire it with those issues so it's back at Ruger now.

Their turn around is usually pretty quick but they've had this one for about a week and a half now so it wouldn't surprise me if they replaced the whole gun. I kind of hope they don't replace it because in the past when they have, the new gun comes back with different problems. I don't buy a new Ruger today without expecting to send it back. If I don't have to, I'm pleasantly surprised.
 
I just ordered one of these on 7 SEP from GrabAGun. It hasn’t been shipped to my FFL yet, so I’m anxious to see how the quality is. I’ll try to post how it looks once I pick it up. Fingers crossed it’s a good one!
 
I hope you're as happy as I am with it. I've got family down in Yuma. So we can at least say with certainty that you won't have to worry about cylinder lock up from freezing temperatures, right?
 
I picked up my stainless 3” Lipsey’s .327 from my FFL the other day. I looked it over carefully and it looks good to me. I won’t get a chance to shoot it for a few weeks sadly, but I’m hopeful it’ll shoot as good as it looks.
