Hey just bought a like new Dan Wesson 14 blued steel. Fixed sights, 6" bbl, and walnut grips. It's about 97% condition. The guy was asking 389.99 and I asked him if he would take 350.00...I've always heard good things about Dan Wessons and I knew about the Monson thing too. So I was still a little unsure about the whole thing. I have a 2" SP-101, a 4"GP-100, and a Smith 442. So I was looking for a 6". So the guy handed it to me and that was it! The trigger felt ridiculously nice, the grip was nice, the finish was pretty, the balance was perfect.
So I'm happy until I got my gun price book out and looked at the prices, seemed I got ripped off. This is like 100.00 off. Did I get ripped off? I hardly ever see these things, that's worth something right? My other concern is that I read the internal parts are made of sintered metal parts? Is this like "pot metal"? Is it junk? Are replacement parts hard to come by? Is the action strong like Ruger strong? I see some smiths will fix em and work on them.
