Thanks
Thanks Mike for doing this video series on the Dan Wesson revolver.
Still a couple more of these videos set to go live in the next couple of months.
Seems like a practical revolver with all the changeable parts. I couldn’t help wondering if changing barrels can adversely affect the accuracy in any way
It does change the point of aim a little when you change the barrel. But probably not any more than you point of aim changes when switching ammo with different bullet weights.
Never really understood shooting a double-action revolver in single-action...unless you're trying to make a long distance shot.
They are called double action/single action revolvers instead of double action revolvers for a reason.
OSS used these. Check your serials always on old Colts as you may have a rare gun or maybe not. There were other cool groups that also used em. My gunshop buddy and friend used to carry one of these as his first gun for ccw. Thin guns.
32acp pistols were very popular back in the day. Both in the US and Europe. And they came up with some really odd designs back in the early days. The Colt 1903 and FN 1910/Browning 1910 were both designed by John Browning. The 1910 is more or less just a simplified 1903. The Savage model 1907 was another great little 32acp pistol. Far as I know the 1907 was the first pistol to use a double stack magazine. Or maybe you would call it a semi-double stack magazine. Nice little gun, but more complicated than the Colt or Browning.
So a Steven's Favorite frame made into a repeater, how cool! Was probably one of first repeaters in 22lr out I bet. Later I think Winchester and others came out with pumps that were superior, but they also cost more too I bet. Does it cycle shorts?
Actually, Stevens was kind of late to the party with 22 pump rifles. The Colt Lightning came out in 1884 and Winchester followed in 1890. The very early Colt and Winchesters were 22 Short, but they chambered them in 22LR after 22LR came about. I doubt 22 Short would feed in the Visible Loader. The riser is long enough that it would probably try to kick up two rounds at a time and jam everything up.
Always wanted one of these. You can think of the 22 mag snub as a 22lr rifle power and speed with the magnum. It's about the exact same power and fps so it is no slouch at all. A 22lr rifle is actually not bad for defense with right shot placement, but best to use multiple hits with. Heart/lung/neck. It's a close in gun but easy to slip in pocket. I rather like the idea of them for just going to get mail and coming back in. Things like that. I have other things for that use, but a lot handier to use this, and still cheap to train vs a 32 or 380, and easy to fire from hidden inside a pocket compared to say a Beretta 21a or PPK. No slide means less risk of snagging though have had it happen in training once with pocket between the cylinder and frame. Still a neat small handy setup.
They are decent little guns.
Entire trick (I own several of em) is to tilt gun on reassembly so when the hammer lever that hangs and goes into the plunger/takedown/mainspring assembly is dropped it isn't behind the reinforcing cross pin. If you can visualize it in your mind as you do it you will never have issue. Just have to mentally picture it. You can use the magazine itself or a paper clip to pull the outter lever to take down. Really only need a mag though. Stoning the surfaces really helped this one a lot. Finest 22lr made unless you count Feinwërkbau, Hämerli's or Walther's Olympic guns. Of those I have always liked them in that order listed. But you can get olympic grips for these as well. The 6-7/8" or 10" are so accurate and easy to aim you can keep a golf ball moving and never have it stop. Cheap to get that good too as ammo is so inexpensive for it. I remember when I was younger a round on sale was 9/10ths of a cent. Mags are easy to get and cheap. Feed lips aren't very critical for em and mags are hard so they last forever save the springs. You can modify em for 12 round capcity, too. If I could only have one gun, and had to do everything with it, a Mark 4 Tactical (non 1911 type) with supressor, red dot and light/laser combo would be it. Also they make nice g10 grips for these now.
Showing my age with this comment, when I was a kid you could get a box of 22LR for 60 cents. I guess the Rugers are not any more difficult to take down than Hi-Standards or Colts of that era. Just different.
Bore butter melts to a liquid at 70° f. Just sayin.
Own a *LOT* of things, but that 452 it's my goto. And I mean I have a ton of a choices. With that CZ I can do 200m/yd all day. Nickel to dime groups at 50 yds (with no wind). Not picky on ammo either. I wished it was threaded is all. Added a picatinny rail over the 11mm but I prefer the irons and man do I have em dialed in. They make high cap mags for them btw. With the single sled it makes a great trainer for kids. Trigger is so good I never messed with replacing or stoning it beyond setting it. Fantastic gun for the money. My fav thing I added was a custom safari sling, all it really did need. The swivels are so silent on it. Easy gun to get food for pot with. My goto js the steel mags, but have many in each type and size.
CZ makes good quality guns.
1851 colts take a .451, later colts take the .454. Remington takes a .457. Just make sure you get a ring when pressing the ball or conical bullet down.
Depends on which company made them.
Well being an Iowan I gotta get down there and see this place. Gunsmiths into historical things, wearing overalls like my grandpa had, and a shop full of good tools and a good lathe... my kinda place. I see I'm not all that far.

Those old Monson full lug barrelled revolvers are one of the finest handguns ever made.
They are good guns.
@@1957Shep I've never handled one of the reboots or the later from CZ
If you see somebody carrying one of these, your correct reponse to anything he says is "yes sir."

That’s a cool setup for a DA revolver! Do you know if these Dan Wesson revolvers are still being made?
They quit making them about 10 years ago.
Great video! Love my Model 15 <3
Thanks
DW revolvers are awesome! Thanks for sharing
Thanks
Considered one of these yrs ago. In a side by side comparison with a nice 4 inch 19-2 which do you prefer and why? (not talking about the versatility of interchangeable barrels , I’m just talking handling and shooting 4 inch 19 vs this one.
There is very little difference. The Smith 19 is a little lighter. Also might have a little smoother action, but not by much.
@@1957Shep thanks
Those are really cool looking stocks , it's a nice looking revolver. My uncle had one years ago , with different barrels lengths. Always thought they were cool, to have one gun that you could change
Thanks
I've got one like yours. That Zebra wood grip brings big money on eBay, but I think it's the best looking one and certainly the hardest one to find. Thanks for sharing this one!
Thanks for taking the time to watch.
That is a super nice Dan Wesson. I enjoyed the other videos on this one.
Glad you enjoyed it
Vice nice. You have cool stuff.
Thanks
Had a few back in the day . I like the solid 44 barrels better . <3 the 4" 357 .
They are nice guns.
I've been aware of the Dan Wesson exchangeable barrel system revolvers for decades but never learned how they work. Thanks for the education about these fine firearms.
Thanks for taking time to watch.
I’d say out of all the UA-cam videos I watched, you have the nicest gun collection I have ever seen.
Thanks
Love these wheelgun videos. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Beautiful revolver! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Good looking revolver!

There for up close & personal that's it. That's all you can do with those Derringers.
Derringers, even good quality ones, are more of a novelty item than real firearms.
I had no idea that this firearm existed. Seeing the barrel replacement feature of this weapon makes me wonder how this revolver was not more popular. Thank you for sharing this video with everyone. This gun will most definitely be added to my list.
I think it was as much marketing as anything else. The quality and price was about the same as S&W. But Dan Wesson was a very small company compared to Smith & Wesson.
@@1957Shep That's true. I don't recall ever seeing a Dan Wesson advertisement. I honestly thought they only made 1911's. It's all I ever heard about until now. I don't own a dan wesson firearm. They're still in the nice to have and not need to have category for me.
@@Freeeeeeeedoooooooom Dan Wesson Firearms dates back to the late 1960s. Their 1911s are a lot more recent. The founder of the company was related to the Wessons of Smith & Wesson fame.
@@1957Shep Thank you for sharing this bit of history. I was under the impression that Dan Wesson firearms was a much more recently formed company. I did assume some sort of family relation with Daniel Wesson based upon the name. It is always good to learn something new. Thank you sir.
Those barrels are black chrome, not blued. I wonder what caused the color to come off?
Those full checkered grips on one of them is a big deal.
Around 15 years ago I bought what turned out to be a 1904 O.M. .38 Special for $300. I did not understand the gun because it had the old Colt frame with reverse cylinder rotation yet had target sights. Later I discovered the significance of it and traded it in a major upgrade. the gun seemed to have an older Colt DA barrel usually,y .38 Long Colt yet was .38 Spl..
Pietta has really brought the quality up the last several years they do copy the Colt single actions a little closer than Uberti for a example they did put a Harden bushing where the firing pin goes through and also the installed the bushing like a Colt has that the screw attached the ejection rod housing like Colt the one thing that Uberti has that pietta doesn’t is the removable cylinder bushing
Thanks for taking time to watch.
@@1957Shep I like guns and videos of them
That's a beauty!
Thanks
thought the "B" designation was for firing pin blocker
Thanks for watching.
Ooo she's pretty! 💯 Thanks for bringing everybody along for the first shots.
Thanks for taking time to watch.
Wow. Ur the first guy I've seen review the 3in barrel. I've been hoping to see somebody give their opinion on it. Rly wouldn't mind picking one up but I can't find one anywhere. Always loved the grip in particular. You'd figure the grips and bobbed hammer would've both come on the 2in bbl version, like they got it backwards or something 🤣 I'd personally like the grips on either version though. Awesome stuff, thanks a bunch.
Check the gunbroker auction site. You will probably find a few for sale there.
Nice replica pistol. You can rest the hammer pin down between the two rounds like the NAA single action .22 revolvers.
Thanks
Great looking gun.
Thanks
Nice to see the engraving up close. Well done.
Thanks 👍
Very nice, Shep! The engaving looks good was well as the grips. Thanks for sharing

A beautiful SA revolver how's the trigger ?
Trigger is about average for a SAA clone. Good, but nothing to really brag about.
What a beautiful gun, I want one, big fan of TR,he was a great author also.
Most of the time I don`t go in for really fancy guns, but this one was offered for such a good price I couldn`t pass it up.
A+ For your show & Tell !
Thanks for watching.
If you are carrying a SAA around loaded with 5 on an empty chamber..... I guess we just have to trust you? cause it looks like the hammer is down on a loaded gun. if you use the safety notch then we know the gun is safe unless someone comes up behind you with a hammer and hits your gun really really really hard maybe a couple of times. The half cock and full cock notches are indeed kinda sorta delicate. but take a look at the safety notch. it is much much deeper so that not only does it not want to break but the trigger nose goes in much deeper. I have never heard of a real instance where the notch was broken. half cock? sure they will break. My suggestion... and it is just a suggestion.... is that anyone who carries with the John Wayne movie load should also at least put the hammer in the safety notch so that we have a visual and not just "believe me it is safe cause I used the John Wayne movie loading" Oddly.. the same people who think the Colt SAA is unsafe in the safety notch are perfectly happy to trust rifles and shotguns with even less robust notches.
Well, you know what they say about opinions.
@@gijoe508 pretty sure that I do. When I first started shooting and handloading there was no internet and the manuals of the day did not have the greatest test equipment. So if you were a gun guy and wanted to get the 'latest' you had subscriptions to several gun magazines and had some books written by the 'pro's' Basically the info you got from all those sources was about half opinion and what he had seen or felt he had. Now with the internet we have access to all sorts of stuff from archives etc. Not many of us have seen Ads from Colt and others from the 1800's say Or exploded diagrams or fleabay for used gun parts. Colts 'opinion' was you loaded 6 and used the safety notch. The guy wyho wrote the line 'load five and rest on an empty chamber' for the John Wayne movie .... well... that was his opinion
