Dan Wesson 44magnum questions....help

[jakes10mm]

I have been looking at a Dan Wesson Stainless revolver in 44 magnum at my local dealer.  I have experience with S&W, Colt, and Rugr revovlers, but not Dan Wesson.  Can I get any opinions on the this model DW? Wha to look for?  It only comes with a 8" barrel and shroud.  Can new barrels and shroudds be found?  Anything to help my decision process would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jake,
I believe Dan Wesson revolvers are some of the best in the world and very durable.  I buy them used all the time.

New and used barrels and shrouds are readily available through the factory or auction sites.

Stronger than a Smith & Wesson.  More accurate than a Ruger.  Able to stop a speeding locomotive.  You get the idea.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I regard the DW as much better looking than the Ruger.

I say what unspellable said!!!!  :grin:

The DW 44VH I'm considering has an 8" barrel, it's Stainless Steel, and looks basically new.  The asking price is $430.  Sound Fair??

You could probably do better on the price at one of the auction sites, but buying it locally you get to actually see it before you buy it.  $430 is not a bad price.  You will certainly be getting your moneys worth.
