[rec.guns] Need Advice on Dan Wesson Revolver

klm@uunet.UU.NET (Kevin L. McBride) (05/22/91)

Thanks to those who responded.  I got many replies ranging from
resounding "Yes!  Go for it!  You won't be disappointed" all the way
down to comments indicating that the price I had listed was a rip-off.

Some friends of mine not on the net also commented.  Surprisingly (or
maybe not), I didn't hear one single comment questioning the quality
of Dan Wesson revolvers.  Everyone seems to agree that they are indeed
fine weapons.  The big debate was over what I should offer for it.

Well, the point is now moot.  I bought it almost 2 weeks ago.  The
dealer didn't come down in the price much but was willing to throw in
some freebies including a Boyt case and 2 boxes of ammo.

I really like this gun a lot.  The factory trigger feels like almost
any other gun with a deluxe trigger job.  After dialing in the sights,
I was shooting nice tight groups in the black at 50 feet.  It's gonna
take some practice before I start knocking down targets at 200 yds.
but I feel that this gun is capable of doing it in the right hands.

It is also one of the slickest looking (IMHO) stainless revolvers I have
ever seen.  I'm happy with it.
