Dan Wesson 357 Magnum
- Thread starter Nickster
- Start date
I have had two in the past. Both were made by the original company. The .357 was an 8" VR HB. The other was a .44 8" VR. They were two of the most accurate revolvers I have ever owned. I shot them in IHMSA silhouette matches in the early 80's. I also shot the .44 in bowling pin matches with good results. I was able to get a better DA pull with that DW than I could with my M29 S&W.
Blue book would be around $275 --> $300 for the revolver with an extra barrel and shroud.
Used scope, and I assume mounts, could be $50 --> $100, depending on what it is.
If it doesn't come with the take down wrench, remember you'll have to spend about $25 to get one.
I currently own two. Very accurate and reliable.
Good Luck...

I have a 357 Vent SS 4 barrel pistol pack that was bought around 15 years ago. The gun is very accurate. I mounted a scope on the 8 inch shroud and re-sight it just before each hunting season. The nature of the grip is good for whittling down a blank to get one that fits smaller hands.
I've never been too happy with the DA trigger, but then again, I've never taken it to a 'smith either. My only other complaint is the lack of aftermarket items like factory-type replacement grips (Hogue, etc.) Those are the only drawbacks I can think of.
As far as price is concerned, it sounds reasonable to me. Welcome to the Dan Wesson family?

This is off the current subject but last July you mentioned that you had picked up a .40 S&W pistol by Republic Arms of South Africa. I'm considering buying one also. What do you think of this pistol and have you learned any more about Republic Arms since July - I can find nothing about the company! E-mail me if you wish. Thanks
