Well, it has been a while since I put anything on lay a way. There is one gun that is calling my name. Got a Dan Wesson .41 Magnum, stainless, 4 inch barrel in at work the other day. Been trying to jew the boss down on it some, but so far no luck. Wants $389 for it. Now, I have owned many a double action revolver, but never a Dan Wesson. It sure seems a well built gun, and I like to have both a double and single action revolver for every caliber I reload for. You guessed it, the only think I don't have is a DA .41 Mag. So, any of you guys have any experience with these? I have heard quality was hit and miss with them, and I would say parts are impossible to get now. What say you?
I had a Dan Wesson in .357 mag. I loved it but it was very finicky on handloads and had problems with some the parts coming loose after a bunch of shooting ( like the stop at the loading gate). If it is intact, the timing is correct, and it shoots that isn't a bad price. Just treat it like a Rolls Royce and not a Jeep. Rugers can take abuse, Dan Wessons cannot.
Well, called the boss this morning and told him to put it on lay a way for me. Got him down to $375. Every time I think I am going to quit buying freaking guns I see another one I think I can't live without. Swore I was just gonna stock up on reloading stuff. Dang it.
Yeah, been searching the net, and not coming up with any .41 barrels. CZ sells .357 and .44 Mag barrels, but no .41. I probably wouldn't buy any new barrels for it anyway, as it comes with a 4 incher, which is my favorite length barrel anyway. I did find a place that sells the barrel wrenches at a reasonable price.
Well, I took some ammo to work and shot the gun. Had two light primer strikes in DA mode. Decided not to buy this one. Didn't need it anyway.
