I'm with you on that. I just don't see any use for it. Granted, the Blackhawk holds eight, but I have never "needed" all five from my Peacemaker. Maybe a seven shot GP100 has some appeal to the self defense crowd, but being a full size revolver, not many will carry it. Isn't the SP101 version a six shot, as opposed to five in .357?
Anyway, .32's have always been appealing as small game and plinking revolvers. Hot-rodding one up to be a mini .357 wannabe just seems like wasted effort. The .357 already fills the bill as a hot mid bore revolver round quite nicely.
I guess the thing that concerns me the most is how some are touting the .327 as a "deer round". Deer round my ass - I wouldn't shoot anything bigger than a coyote with a hot loaded .357 as it is, much less a little .32. I don't care how hot it is loaded, or how much "energy' it has on paper. That is not what kills animals in the realm of handgun hunting. They should not be encouraging such silly ideas.
