    Dan Wesson 715 being reintroduced for 2014

    The Dan Wesson 715 revolver is slated to be reintroduced in 2014. Thoughts?

    I had an older DW briefly - after 25 years of shooting Rugers and Smiths the cylinder latch just didn't work for me. The lack of grip options is a second complication...

    And I REALLY wanted to love that gun.

    Hurray! Now maybe I can get some replacement barrels and shrouds without paying an arm and a leg for them.

    I have a completely irrational grudge against DW revolvers because about once every few months some Cletus would drag in a more-or-less complete Pistol Pac to sell with the expectation that he had some priceless treasure. Do you have any idea how long one of those things can sit on consignment?

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    Down the road from Quantrill's big raid.
    When I was a kid there was one of those pistol packs in the case with all of the barrels on sale at a local store. I used to oogle that every time I was in there. Wanted it badly I did, thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen.

    I made the mistake of buying one of those a long time ago. Mine was a complete POK (piece of kitten).

    Had a Model 15 myself briefly back in the early '90s. Can't say I miss it very much, either.

    Yes, mine was the Model 15 of course, not the 715.

    Sooo... I am not gonna lie, this takes the wind out of my sails a little bit. On the other hand, I saved a ton of money by switching to Ruger?

    I had a stainless DW 44mag (744?) back in 1989. Can't say I miss it.
