Re: Dan Wesson revolver?
Just keep it at arms' length, or the blow-by between the cylinder and barrel will singe your eyebrows off.

Re: Dan Wesson revolver?
Dan Wesson revolvers for the most part were built like a battleship and very accurate.
The model numbers were all over the place. Most of the .357 Magnums were model 14 or 15. When they were stainless steel, a 7 was tacked in front. In other words, you might have a 715.
There were a few runs of custom revolvers for police agencies or private labels.
There were three incarnations of the company, two of which went out of business. The first was in Monson, Massachusetts, and are labeled as such. The second was in Palmer, Mass., and does not have such a sterling reputation. The third was in Norwich, New York. That company was bought by CZ-USA and continues in operation. They will work on any firearm with the Dan Wesson brand (though they are not running a charity, if you know what I mean).
This is the current company: http://www.cz-usa.com/products/by-brand/dan-wesson/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This page is an excellent history of the brand, but several years out of date: http://www.notpurfect.com/main/dwrev.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
