I have always wanted a Dan Wesson with the entire barrel set in .357. Well, recently I ran across one in LN condition with all the barrels, a combat style grip with DW logo, a finger-groove grip(looked like it was hand carved by a 4 year old), and brown breifcase(don't know if it was the original case or not?).
I almost bought it, but the more I held it, the less I liked it. The combat style grip wasn't even symmetrical and it wasn't very comfortable to hold. Is this typical of old DW revolvers? Did they originally come in the ugly brown briefcases with aluminum frame? There was another .357 in the same shop that only had 3 of the barrels...it was also in the same style brown case and came with 2 grips(looked like the same 4 year old carved this one before he had any experience).
Any Dan Wesson experts here that can explain this?
Thanks!
