Dan Wesson
Mine was a Dan Wesson 6" .357. They were a bit cheaper than a Smith, and I liked the idea that other barrel lengths and grips could be screwed on and off. The .357 ctg seemed the ideal revolver round. Use .38 spl wadcutter for mild practice, full power .38's as a field and small game gun, and magnum ammo for hunting and SD. The revolver was accurate, as long as the barrel/cylinder gap was set right (the company provided tools to accomplish this with the pistol) and consistently anytime the barrel was removed. Prone with a rest, I could bust water filled milk jugs with mag ammo at 100 yds pretty consistently (those were the days, sigh!!!). I had the handgun hunting bug, and shot quite a few groundhogs with it , using .38 ammo, as it was not as hard on the ears, and I could spot and stalk the contour farming of the area when the clover was up for close shots.
Eventually, (on two occassions) it developed lock work trouble and the action (?) would not cycle at all. When it came back from the factory the second time, I traded it away.
