Dan Wesson high end?

I wonder if the new non-Wesson family revolver had a trigger different from the early models. I have 3 small frames and never seen a production s&w that was nearly as light or as smooth and the large frame pistol are better yet. Do a little polishing in only the sides and edges of the trigger group and a wolff RP hammer spring and 2 of mine dropped to 2lb SA trigger a 4 1/2lb DA pull. Mine are all monsoon mass area revolvers .
 
cz?....

Are there any new factory made Dan Wesson revolvers out there?
I heard the firm was picked up by CZ.
I'm going to check the CZ site for new details.
 
The 715 was a catalog item for a couple of years...I think 2010-2011. The story is that they were using up some of the remaining parts. The one I saw in person and the few that were on gun broker featured a plastic injection molded case with compartments for additional barrels...but the gun alone was in the $1200 range, and the one I saw had the look of being made from sheet metal...not that it was, but it just didn't look like a classic 715. I don't think CZ has working tooling to produce any new from the ground up 715's nor do I think they have the inclination. Way easier to make and sell a quality 1911 than try to make a success out of the Revolver side of the buesiness, which for whatever reason just never was much of a comercial success...other than for a brief moment in the golden era of silhouette shooting.
 
clydefrog They made a small run that sold last year of 715's and said they will make some more !! When they bought DW mainly I think for the 1911 line and name . They made some runs of the supermags atleast. Not sure about regular revolvers. Go to there site and the parts area. They had to invest in all new tooling for the regular revolver line and then they jacked the cost to a level of S&W custom line prices. I'll stay with older models.
 
Kahrguy - I read that the tooling was history and that they were using leftover frames. Where did you hear they had new tooling? If this is true, it's great news.
 
High end is S&W or Colt, everything else is 2nd place or worse with the exception of Korth and a few custom guns.
 
Working out loads for my 15. Just doing 3 shot groups to start to save on primers. I think I've settled on 11.6gr of BlueDot with my cast 125gr. At 50 yrds it shows a little promise.

Granted, it's no S&W or Colt but I guess I'll just have to make due with a 2nd place gun.
 
I would love to say that was unsupported with iron sights. But no, that's from the rest with a 2X scope. The 8 inch barrel don't hurt any either.
 
Oh, ok... because for a second there I thought "I better don't get in the argument with this guy". :D Still great result though, amazing accuracy!

All this talk about DW really makes me want to buy their pack with interchangeable barrels. The last thing I need right now is to spend another fifteen hundred dollars or so... :rolleyes:
 
I can shoot groups like that offhand with iron sights but only at about 12inches.:D
I lucked into this one for $300 because the guy at the show couldn't find anyone interested in a pistol without hi cap mags.

I really should take a photo of it after I've cleaned it. And maybe not use the dog bed as a background.

Hey now, that is what we DW owners call character for the gun. The thing about a shiny gun in a pristine environment, is people wonder if it's ever used, no questions there!:D:cool::)
