Dan Wesson Revolvers Coming Back

[Kirk Freeman]

In St. Louis for the NRA Annual Meeting I was advised by CZ that Dan Wesson revolvers will soon be back in production. Things were spooling up in New York and the initial run will be the .357 only with additional calibers to be determined by demand.

FYI.

Sweet!!!! I just got done watching "Last Action Hero" and a Dan Wesson is featured. Made me wish I had one.

They will be interesting to see, at the shop I used to work at we would get them in trade all the time but couldn't hardly give them away. Now at gunshows people are trying to ask ridiculous prices, they weren't that awesome. It couldn't hurt to have a few more choices in revolvers though, as long as they don't try to command a premium for them.

Are not all guns now commanding a premium, Sgt.?

Hope they do a .357max again. That was one I wish I had bought.

I have two Dan Wesson revolvers, one in 357 and one in 44 magnum. I bought them in the early 80s. Each is capable of superb long range accuracy which is one of the reasons I chose Dan Wesson. Formerly I shot in hunter's pistol silohouette competition and at that time 80% of the winning revolvers were Dan Wesson.

Sometimes I think that I wish I had a 357 maximum too. I need one like I need a hole in my head, but I am well beyond needs with guns, they are purely for fun and investment.

Sounds great that Dan Wesson will be making revolvers again.

What I like about DAN WESSON, is it's ability to change barrel of the same caliber

 

[Steve B]

If the 445 super mag comes back I may have to buy one.

 

[vanguard2010]

Always wanted a Dan Wesson, maybe now I will talk myself into getting one.

 

[singlesix]

It'll be interesting to compare these new ones with the old ones. My circa 1980s Dan Wesson has a very smooth trigger pull.

Kinda wonder about holsters....

 

[melensdad]

I'd love one in 45acp but I'm not holding my breath that they will produce such a creature.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I was advised only .357s at this time.

Everyone wants a Dan Wesson, but only if they make it in another caliber than what is offered. Fact of life in the gun culture.

 

[84VETTE]

I second the .445 super mag. I'd be all over that

I guess it depends on your definition I'm thinking we used to try and get rid of these for 3-350.00 and now there are guys at the 1500 trying to get over 900.00. Like a lot of guns though when they were available people were like meh but once they're gone all of a sudden they're interesting. I wish I bought about five or six of the L frame SW 696 .44 specials (another gun we couldn't give away), those are pushing 800-1000.00 now.

I had a LNIB Pistol Pac in 22LR that included the gun and a 2", 4", 6" and 8" bbls, 2 grips, tools, belt buckle, arm patch and all fitted in an aluminum case in 22LR. It took me FOREVER to get $600 for it! Now I see the single guns used going for more than that. You just never know.

I did like their .22's, you don't see those as often as you do the .357's. I hear you on the pistol pacs, very difficult to sell.

If they make one in .40/10mm I'll sell my 610 and buy one. looking at an old model 15 snub nose right now. with fixed sights and the 2.5" barrel it would make a decent pocket gun. the ability to add a 4-12" barrel makes me smile and my grandpa has several spares :-)

Pretty much this.

 

[357 Terms]

Those pistol pacs were great ideas, I would love to see them produced again!
