Default Dan Wesson trivia

When looking up some info on DW Cbob's, I came across this article. I had often wondered if Dan Wesson was related to the co-founder of Smith & Wesson and the answer is yes.

Quote:
Daniel B. Wesson II was the great-grandson of D.B. Wesson, co-founder with Horace Smith of the famous firearms manufacturer Smith & Wesson. In 1968, Daniel B. Wesson II set out to build an improved version of the double-action revolver. He utilized the unique, modular design of firearms inventor and former Dayton, OH police officer, Karl Lewis.
