Like its revolutionary 327 cubic-inch Chevrolet hot motor model namesake introduced in 1962 the .327 Federal Magnum round is a real hotrod too. Charter Arms new Patriot is the industry's first snubnose revolver chambered for this potent round.
Designed for legal conceal-carry, Charter Arms Patriot features 6-shot capacity and a 2.2-inch barrel, slick target front ramp and groove channel fixed sights.
The second variation comes with a 4-inch barrel, target ramp sight and adjustable rear sights, and it too is chambered for 6-rounds.
"We feel the .327 Federal Magnum is an excellent self defense round, and the light weight and low price point coupled with our first 2,000 production promotion program makes a very attractive purchase," said Charles Brown of MKS Supply, marketer of Charter Firearms.
Federal's 85-grain low recoil Hydra-Shok round should yield about 1250-1280 fps from the 2.2-inch-barrel Patriot.
The all steel 2.2-inch Patriot weighs in at 22.5-ounces. Price for the 2.2-inch model No. 73270 is $425.

Glad to see Charter enter the market with the .327. The Charters I own do exactly what they claim to do - that's all one could ask.
Hope they make it in what they call hammerless. Sure are good no holster pants pocket guns with double-action hammerless design.
Have they made it to retail shops in Georgia yet, or waiting for official debut?
The last report that Gun Test did on a Charter wasn't very complimentary.
Looking forward to full test reports on this new entry. JR
I MAY HAVE REGISTERED TWICE ???????????????
A light-weight version in aluminum or even better, titanium would be nice.
I've told my dealer to get me a 4" model - can't wait. I have an Undercover .38 SPL which works flawlessly.
I picked up the taurus 327 SS snub recoil is noticable, but i found that fed american eagle had cratered primers. Is this round too hot???
