This speck on the trigger is what considered the blem on this pistol. Albeit the finish needs a bit of work.

This is 24 rounds at about 30 ft. 158 grn 357.

So how is this trigger? this gun?

Both single and double action are better than my Smith 627 Pro Series. Which is the best of my revolvers. Even better than my old DW 22lr revolver. It is a fantastic gun. I have a few areas on the pistol I want to see if i can work on the finish. I think because of the blem the final finish on frame was just so so.

After 130 rounds it took about 45 min for the barrel to cool. It was toasty hot.....

Nice pick up.


Hey if you put a horn and lights on it you can kill all the deer you want.

What chu talkin bout Willis?

All jokes aside, beautiful revolver, love the slabside look!

Question, is Dan Wesson the only manufacturer to sell blems? In my short time around guns, I've never heard of anyone else selling guns that have blems or if they do, it was something that slipped by QC, not sold intentionally.

Saw a colt 38 super come in last friday with a couple of rub marks on it. I have seen other guns in the same 1000-2000 dollar range come in with defects also. I think DW does it to be rid of the guns at x price point instead of having to deal with them coming back because of X superficial flaw.

Recently saw two remington r51's that were nothing short of disasterous quality control wise.
