If one shows up at my dealer ... I'll probably pick one up too. The Single Six platform is 'perfect' for the little .32 . As I said in another forum, I am rethinking the .32 now as 22LR is so hard to come by. The .32 would be my 'reloadable' 22 replacement cartridge. Load a 'relatively' light bullet to .22 velocities and we are good to go. No need to load you 'hyper' .327 velocities. Of course I'd prefer a 'six' shooter instead of a 'seven' and a blued revolver over SS ... but you take what you can get...
So whose gonna get the new SS 7- shot 327 fed

I think I will be ordering one in the 4 5/8" and the 7 1/2" models. I am just pleased that Lipsey's is giving the .327 Fed. Magnum another chance. I agree that I think the .327 Magnum would have fared much better in the Single-Six Model than the 8 Shot Blackhawk Model. I really like the .327 Fed. Magnum but even I did not purchase the Ruger Blackhawk 8 Shot Revolver. Now the Single Six makes a lot of sense and I will be supporting this model by ordering two (2) of them!

The shorter barrel would be my option, having a BH in 30 Carbine x 7.5" and a S&W Model 16-4 x 6" in 32 H&R Magnum. I would be just as happy with the Single-7 in 32 Mag, or as a 6-shooter. "Need" has little to do with this acquisition, I have the 30/32 caliber bases more than covered already--three revolvers in 32-20, and another in 32 S&W Long. I should have snagged one of the 8-shot BHs in 327, but snoozed at the switch. Now, they're gone.

How is the 327 even possible in the Single Six? I thought that the cylinder length was too short. If Ruger has to lengthen the cylinder, it would have been cheaper/easier/faster to make the 327 in the Blackhawk. They already did that.

This, of course.
For years fans asked for a SingleSix Hunter in 32, even with a common .308" bore. Ruger was insistent that would never happen due to a couple of factors.
Whenever, whatever it will be, it will be a white gun (cheaper brushed finish), and hopefully be shy of a thousand bucks?
I will buy one when I see one as long as it is hunting-useable (adjustable rear sight min) and not un-necessarily heavy. Until then... well... 8)
I will pass on the new 327 single six. I had John Gallagher make one for me in a bisley configuration and decided to let it go. Now I will just keep my little 32mag/327 dual cylinder FA 97.

Longer cylinder + shorter barrel shank = no big deal.Glupy said:
They tried the Blackhawk, remember, it didn't sell. How do you know what's cheaper/easier/faster for Ruger's manufacturing??? It's obviously possible and obviously Lipsey's felt it would be a better seller on the Single Six platform than the medium or large frame Blackhawk. Shutup and buy one already.

"Shutup and buy one already."
-and many would (or say they would), if it were real. So far a marketing promise or at best, an experimental?
When we see them IRL, I'm sure they will sell at least as well as the Shopkeeper!

Well what do we have here? A brand new Lipsey's Exclusive! From Lipsey's FB page:
That ain't no 6 shot and Ruger didn't make a stainless 32 H&R Single Six Magnum....

Been wanting another .327 ... looks like I will be saving up for a 5 1/2" version.
Lipsey's says several months on their FB page. This should be enough time to generate the cash assuming that the price will be reasonable.

I wouldn't call a group of guys getting to shoot not one but two pre-production samples to be a "marketing promise". The guns have been ordered by Lipsey's, they are a reality. It's only a matter of time before they hit the shelves.mohavesam said:

I sold my single sixes to finance my FA97 with dual cylinders. For me it was the right move. I'm still planning to get one of these new single sixes though. 7 shots on the small frame, 4 5/8in barrel in 327. That's a heck of a trail gun when you don't feel like packing any weight.
My FA will be for the serious stuff, the single six for when I don't expect to need it but glad I had it along.

I've got my order in for one with the 7.5" barrel. Should be a dandy gun for IHMSA field pistol competition. Now Lipsey's has to get moving on convincing Ruger to make a 5-shot 480 Ruger!

Ordered mine last Friday hope it is as good a shooter as my old 32 h&r mag.was

Well I'd like to get the 7.5 model.I haven't seen either the Blackhawk or the SP101 in 327 yet.I wonder how many Lipsey's will have Ruger make?

- Ain't gonna happen. But you can order a 5-shot 480R BFR any day of the week!Oregon45 said:

At the BFR's current prices, I'd rather buy a used Freedom Arms or have a custom 5-shot built on a Ruger.

I would like a 5 1/2 with a birdshead grip and Bisley hammer.

I'd kinda' like a 5 shot custom 480 SBH myself. And only way to get a blue gun if I'm not mistaken.
