8 Shot 327 on GB

Is this something new?  Notice the US logo on the frame also.  Wonder if  an 8 shot 32-20 can be fitted?

I saw that and went, "Huh?". I liked the unfluted cylinder. Bet it would look even better with a case-hardened frame.

Not so much something new,  more like something old. 
Around two or so years ago USFA made an ill-fated attempt to enter the hunting handgun market (I say ill-fated as it apparently never went anywhere).  In addition to the .327 magnum they also were going to offer a line of "colored" hunting SAA's.  They had desert tan, rust brown and moss green models and I believe there were also some color combinations available.  They were incredibly ugly guns.  They had them featured on their web for awhile and then, mercifully, they vanished.
I'm willing to bet that very few of those .327's were ever made.

Called the Sparrow Hawk. http://www.usfirearms.com/cat/sparrow-hawk.asp  One thing about USFA, just because they have them on their web site doesn't mean they are actually available.

I think the colored guns made it to the market but without the colors.  They emerged as the Shooting Master (357) and the Sparrowhawk (327) and I think there was also supposed to be a 44 (mag?).  Agreed, the colors were ugly.   The one on GB is a SA and doesn't have the front and rear sight of the Shooting Master/Sparrowhawk.
