Dan Wesson is back in the revolver game

The Dan Wesson revolvers, are arguably some of the strongest out there.

I have not seen ANY S&W revolvers chambered in .357 Maximum or .445 Supermag.

I take it, that you know absolutely nothing about Dan Wesson guns.

I don't know "absolutely nothing" is an accurate statement, but it's true I've never owned one.

If frame strength isn't an issue, and as you purport yourself an expert, do tell. Why isn't Dan Wesson in the .44 Rem Mag game? Market too small!? Laugh2
 
Keep in mind that Dan Wesson is a small, high end, semi-custom shop; not a high production mass market manufacturer. They cannot keep up with current demand for their 1911s and the new 715 as it is. And I say that literally, not just as a figure of speech. There ismreally nothing to be fined for them to add a .44 to the lineup That they will never have room for in the production schedule.

It took them almost 3 years form when they announced the reintroduction of the 715 until the time when they actually had them in dealers shelves. Give them a few years for 715 sales to cool off before they even think about a .44.
 
The current Dan Wesson firearms are not made by the same outfit that originally built these revolvers.
All production stopped. Business decision, forced or otherwise.
Not from lack of demand, or from questions of quality.

History available here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Wesson_Firearms

the current owners are CZ-USA.
The 715 offered currently is made from the original drawings, perhaps using some of the old tooling.

I don't profess to be an expert!
I do own five Dan Wesson revolvers.
In .22LR, .357 Magnum, and .44 Magnum
Including an original 715.
I purchased my 15-2 Pistol-Pac fourty years ago.
Many others since.:)

There a lot of quality .44 Magnums out there on the market.
If CZ-USA thought that there was room for another player in the .44 Mag. game.
They'd be right on it!

If I can locate a Dan Wesson in .32 Magnum, I'm on it!:cool:

Then i will start with a 715 as for the 44 Mag, the market maybe smaller... but thu bullet is way bigger... JP.:cool:
 
Not seen them anywhere yet, myself.

I figure someone like Wanstalls will be on top of it, since they bring in Dan Wesson.
 
I bought my Dan Wesson 44 pistol pack new in 1985, it is still running strong. All I ever did was a spring replacement a few years ago, after 25 years or so the springs got a bit weak.
