Thinner bullet make cylinder thinner.
Longer bullet make gun more power.

It's a good idea that came too late for its time. Revolvers are long since irrelevant as carry guns.

>>32357441
>Revolvers are long since irrelevant as carry guns.
Incorrect. they're the best small CC pieces because you can carry extra spicy cartridges in tiny guns at a capacity that isn't shit compared to automatics of similar size.

Also, no slide to get caught if your muzzle ends up in someones gut.

>>32357546
>extra spicy cartridges
>being shot out of a <2 inch barrel
>in other words, the same ballistics as 9mm and worse than .40, but harder to control

>>32357610
>the same ballistics as 9mm
Which is better ballistics than a .380
>worse than .40,
Gun is smaller than a .40 would be.
>but harder to control
but not uncontrollable.

>>32357643
My Sig P938 is as small and thinner than an LCR and shoots 9mm+P with some snap, but not nearly the kind of blast as a .357 mag out of a gun of the same weight.

>>32357321
Recoil is a bit worse, the .327 is more powerful. Main thing is you get an extra shot or two depending on frame size.

The lcr is still a pocket gun, but I'm holding out hope for more kit-gun offerings in the future. Ruger silently announced a .44 special GP 100 and 8 shot snubby Redhawk, so who knows? Henry has a lever gun in it now and if a nigga gets some money in short time I'll be on it like white on rice in a paper plate during a snow storm.

>>32357321
Produces roughly 10mm-from-glock20 muzzle energy from a 2" barrel while recoiling about as much as 9mm from a standard compact pistol.

It is snappy and has a lot of muzzle climb but doesn't sting, I find it more comfortable to shoot than my makarov.

It can be a legit predator/small deer hunting caliber. I've killed dozens of javelina and 2 cous whitetail with my Single Seven

>>32357610
Only if you're a limp wristed little bitch

>>32357321
I don't understand the revolvers without hammer spur exposed. Why? Just why?

>>32357658
But an LCR will be lighter ( if barely so)

>but not nearly the kind of blast as a .357 mag
.357 is not that bad. maybe if it's your first time shooting a gun, but it's still easily controllable. Shooting a S&W 340 wasn't some freight train on my elbows.

>>32357321
Clown caliber. That is all.

>>32357723
>Why? Just why?
Hammers that rise above the gun can get caught on clothes. so bob the hammer and remove any risk of that happening

I think many people itt are confusing .357 with .327

They're really nice honestly. Light, pleasant grips, smooth and light trigger. If they chamber the LCR-X in 327 I'd buy one. The big upside for the 327 to me is being able to fire 6 types of ammo out of it. 32Long S&W is still a good round and there are cheaper loadings if you don't want to shoot a lot of magnums. Just wish 327 was cheaper.

>>32357702
oh damn a .44spl gp100 don't play with my feelings anon that's really gonna be a thing?

>>32358743
I've been waiting for a 3" LCR-X chambered in .357 magnum for going on 3 years now.

>>32357321
will there ever be an automatic chambered in this round?

now that you mention it, if they can put a 357mag and 44mag in a deagle then they can do the same with this

>>32357546
No retard revolvers are irrelevant because you can no longer improve it's desing any furter. Introducing a "new revolver round" isn't gonna matter much since .38/.357 mag are already excelent defence ammo.

>>32357702
>The lcr is still a pocket gun, but I'm holding out hope for more kit-gun offerings in the future
They have a 4" 6 shot .327 SP100 now.

>>32358743
Tell the CEO before he leaves through that 'email the ceo' thingy on their website. I did, but more people wanting the same thing makes it more viable of a product to produce. I've been holding off on buying the LCRX specifically so a .327 FedMag or DAO version comes out (I like DAO triggers okay).

>>32360075
The whole point of the .327 is you got 6 shots in a J-frame instead of 5 of .38spl/.357.

Then they figured out that due to being a very high pressure round it did remarkably well from short barrels.

>>32357321

>>32357321

Shame no one makes a lever gun in it

It'd probably be screaming from a rifle

>>32360815
It doesn't really make sense for levergats since you don't gain anything from a thinner round in a tube mag. .357 is cheaper and more powerful for a .03" wider case.

>>32360815
Henry makes one.

>>32360113
>DAO version

Just have a gunsmith bob the hammer?

>>32358875
Jeff Quinn has pics up on his facebook senpai. 5 shot, 3 inch barrel with a longer version "in the works".

Has anyone ever done a full day of shooting with a Henry? Is the tube loading as autistic and annoying as it seems?

>>32360851

.357 from a rifle can be overkill in regards to penetration on small stuff; it's really a deer gun (within its range)

I can see .327 Mag being a good varmint round from a rifle out to 50-100 yards

>>32357441

>>32357723
Because some people don't care about accuracy past 5 yards, or don't know any better.

These people are wrong.

>>32359855
But why? A DE in anything but AE 50 is retarded.

>>32357702
> 8 shot snubby Redhawk
That's fucking stupid. Tell me more and would it be legal to modify it to look like an old timey bulldog complete with erasing markings other than serial numbers?

>>32361477
Only if you don't know what you're doing. As long as it has an exposed hammer and a 3" barrel it is easily accurate to 15 yards SA.

Heck, I can hit a man sized target at 25 yards with my SP101.

>>32357546
I think the no-slide is a much bigger deal than the cartridge. If the situation gets to grappling, for whatever reason, semi autos will very easy get caught on something and fail to cycle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSFpJqK1sP4
https://youtu.be/oYt-RjDV9fk?t=948 (jump to 15:48 on this one if it doesn't)

I wish there was a semi auto equivalent of .327, like an elongated toasty .32 ACP, or 5.7 necked out to .32
but even if it did existed there'd be zero guns for it because it'd be too long for existing magwells

>>32362302
7.62 Tokarev is pretty close.

>>32362302
Closest thing I could think of would be .32 NAA. Basically a .380 necked down to .32.

>>32361768
No it isn't.

Handload and you can get top tier performance out of any of the chamberings.

Besides, .440 is a much cooler cartridge than .50AE

>>32362302
You could always get into wildcatting.

Or look for a .30 Carbine pistol

>>32357805
I would grind down the sights first.

>>32360113
Ruger sends registered owners a weapons survey at the end of the year for potential designs or write-ins. The top 3 go into production.

That's like getting a .500 S&W, but only shooting .500 specials.

>>32361768
I'm just using deagle as an example, I cant figure out why Glock or any plastic double stack pistol makers arent jumping on this round as you could make the grip slimmer and it would hold more, like 20 rounds compared to 15 9mm

Are you being retarded on purpose?. Striker fired polymer frame handgun doesn't mean 'muh glock. Glock made that system popular and the other companies made their own desings with different features.
Revolvers on the other hand are cloned all over the world, the Smith Wesson design has ben copied by hundreds of companies.

This is true but an Auto version would have to be made. Putting a rimmed round in a standard gun design is a no-go and they dont work well in extended mags anyway (notice that .22 pistols never have more than ten)

>mfw when 10mm Magnum is ideal for the Desert Eagle and could even have a double stack magazine. Same firepower as a 44 mag but its an auto straightwall.


Actually another +1 on this would be taking the 5.7x28 and making it straight wall.

New case would actually be needed, like 8.5mm wide so it can accept a 7.62mm bullet. As well as a rienforced back end so it can handle stiffer pressure.

Basically would be a Tokarev except it fits 20 or 30 to a pistol mag.

>>32361761
How does a bobbed hammer affect the accuracy?

>>32367155
I hope you're not implying the Bodyguard is striker fired

>>32368745
You can lock it back and fire single action.

On a revolver, which typically has a 9 to 14 lb trigger, it has a significant impact on shooting form.

>>32368745
>How does a bobbed hammer affect the accuracy?
It's a -2 to accuracy with a +2 saving throw against lead

Ballistics of .357 out of those snubbies is like on par with overpressure 9mm and .38 +p is between .380 and 9mm

>>32357704
No that's wrong

>>32357723
So the spur doesn't get caught on the draw. People also bob external hammers

>>32358875
Yes senpai
I wish it was 10mm/.40 cal or .44 mag instead (I mean shit, s&w did a 5 shot L frame .44 mag)

>>32359074
Yeah I even submitted one of those suggestion things for it. Still waiting for that .357 3" LCR...

I don't get why they come out with these meme guns. They could have just as easily made the .44 a magnum and they could have made the 8 shot .357 not a fucking snubnose (who actually carries those snubbies large frame revolvers)

>>32361543
I wanted the Henry .45-70 but the tube loading is as fucking dumb as you would expect. I hate doing that shit with .22s why would I want to do it with .45-70

>>32368745
if anything the lock time is faster therefore accuracy is better

>>32369320
>.357 3" LCR
Can they even make this?

>>32369361
I think it would have to have an internal hammer from what I've read

I would be fine with that as long as it kept the 3" barrel, adjustable rear sight, and grip

>>32369499
Well, they usually make LCR has the option of hammer or no hammer.

I don't know how much they'd have to beef up the cylinder to make it work.

Also, who in their right mind would want to shoot .357 out of a 1 pound revolver as a serious carry gun?

>>32357546
Look up ballistics for 357 on bbti. At 2 inch it's less than 9mm, and for the same size guns a pistol has more barrel length than a revolver. Plus more capacity.

327 is neat but the market is shit.

>>32369320
They trickle out updates for everything once a year and blue ball everyone. They know people want the 357 but sit on it for years.

>>32369361
Why not? The LCR is already a 357 snub and the LCRx is just the long barrel version with an exposed hammer. They released it in 38 special only for some reason and have been telling people more versions are coming for years.

>>32369575
>>32369624
opening up the frame for the hammer supposedly weakens it too much

>>32364283
Staging a trigger is somewhat doable on a semi auto with partial precock like a glock. But when you "stage" a 12 lbs trigger pull on a revolver to get to the 2 lbs "wall" at the end, it's just heresy. Only way you know it's been staged is that the cylinder will click and lock up. You are still holding that spring tight after staging and there is no wall for you to rely on before you know if you pull past it will fire. Point of aim will move, it just will move all over the fucking place. I have a 637 and I tried to shoot it and my friends' 642 DA. It works for 10 yards kind of but for 25 it's just hopeless.
When you consider that there are only 5 of them bullets in the cylinder it puts proper aim considerations into perspective. You shoot SA. Every single time.

>>32372362
>you shoot SA. Every single time.
