Charter Arms Crimson Patriot
ByCharter Arms is offering a new revolver package: the Crimson Patriot.
The Crimson Patriot is a .327 Federal Magnum revolver from the Charter Arms Patriot line. It has a 2.2″ barrel and ships from the factory with the Crimson Trace LG-325 Lasergrips.
The Crimson Patriot shares many of the features of the standard Patriot revolver. The Crimson Patriot is a six-shot, exposed hammer revolver made of stainless steel that weighs 21 ounces unloaded. It has fixed sights, using a ramp front and notch rear. The big difference is the addition of the rubber overmold Lasergrips.
The suggested retail on the Charter Arms Crimson Patriot is $650.00. Considering the standard Patriot retails for $469.00 and the Crimson Trace LG-325 Lasergrips retail at $299.00, the Crimson Patriot retail price represents a significant savings as compared to adding the grips yourself ($768 vs. $650). Obviously, street prices vary.

I’m curious about the caliber. I’ve no experience with the .327 Fed. mag. Is this a caliber worthy of consideration or a wildcat that will be relgated to the what might have been? The .357 Sig will trump a .357 mag. unless the wheelgun’s tube is 6″ and will do so with far less blast and flash even though it is a 9 mm on speed. The .45 GAP is an answer to a non-existent question. What are your thoughts on the caliber?
