  Good for her.
  
  As far as the caliber, what else can I say, but, I like it.

  I like those sights, a range report to comment on them would be appreciated, especially if you have access to a 642 to compare.

  Excellent! Congrats to the kid.

  Refusing to conform to the left wing mantra of political correctness by insisting on telling the truth does not make you a loud mouth.

  Also, it's a "Pro Series" handgun in a caliber that might not move too well, sales-wise.

  Meh.

  Well, it does make a good women's caliber...

  Be a good sidearm if she uses a .270 for hunting.

  Meh.

  I liked it because it's got a 2" barrel vs the standard 1 7/8" most J-frames come with, and is a six shot instead of five.. and is a hammerless DAO so there is nothing to snag on clothing if she needs to produce it in a hurry.. unlike the Sp101 in .32 H&R I had years ago.. had to be careful where you stashed it on your person.. or you were working harder than you should to employ it in a scenario.. that's primarily why I got rid of it.
  
  and seeing as how I reload .32 H&R for my wife's Blackhawk, cranking out buttloads of .327 Federal practice ammo will be easy peasy..

  Never laugh at your wife's choices.
  You are one of them.

  careful, SirGeorge..
  I have an awful lot of fun bustin' caps in my wife's .32 Blackhawk..
  
  
  but anyway, I'm glad you guys agree it will make at least an adequate carry gun..

  I think as I said it is a good gun and cartridge; but, contrary to
  the sage advice given on this forum by those that have not shot
  .327 in a light revolver and in most cases not shot it in any revolver,
  the .327 is a magnum .32 and as a result has considerable recoil
  without porting or as in the case of the SP 101 a change to an after market
  recoil reducing grip.
  
  The other 3 cartridges the gun will shoot are in fact easy shooting.
