dukesean,

I hope nothing bad happened since I sold it also. However, I sold it back to the dealer I bought it from, and I did tell them the reasons.

seamus,

I must have sold the Dan Wesson about 20 years ago. It was a heck of a gun for accuracy as the barrel locked at both ends. My intention upon buying the weapon was for silhouette shooting.

After shooting this weapon, I started noticing excessive pressure maybe 2 of the chambers (I don't remember which brand's of ammo, but they were not hot loads). I had the chambers polished, but it did not help. I got tired of having to dowel out the brass, and was starting to worry that the pressure may weaken the chamber with a disastrous effect.

I was occasionally getting something I describe as a blowback. It was when the bullet jumped the gap to the barrel, there may have been a misalignment or perhaps a timing problem, but I would have small lead particles come back onto my arms and into my face.

I thought this was too powerful a weapon for me to take any chances with, so I sold it.
