Hi all, I am the lady in ca. that was looking for a Dan Wesson 357. There is one finally in ca. on gunbroker.com. Would appreciate your knowledgeable opinions....
Cathy This DW is a large pistol, are you a big girl? large hands? long fingers? Are you big enough to handle/use/control this pistol??? It is a great pistol...
Cathy, A smaller lighter 357 would be harder to control than a bigger heavier one. I would suggest that you go with a semiauto in .380 or 9mm. These will get...
The Dan Wesson you are looking at is a little deceiving. The case is not original to the gun, different serial number and wrong barrel discription.. The...
... Cathy, The gun looks great though expensive, you will have to decide if it is worth the price to you. That said, call around to the local gun stores (don't...
Thank you Rich, Brady, and Bill, For your advice and help. Very informative. I wouldn't have dreamed the barrels weren't original to the gun. With all your...
The barrels may be original to the gun but the gun is not original to the case and the barrels were just labeled wrong. Not vent rib. ... From: Cathy...
Hey Dave, I've been under the weather here the last few days and have not been keeping up with my email. I did get your pictures, thanks for sending those....
I believe the same barrel for the .357 mag would work. I can't for the life of me find out why it wouldn't work. eric crwalmer <crwalmer@...> wrote: i'm...
I might have a 8" available in the next week if you cant find a 6 " Lee ... the life of me find out why it wouldn't work. ... any luck. maybe ... Try it now....
Negative!!! the .357-Max is the large frame DW, the .357-Mag is the small frame. Only barrels made for the .357 max will work on that gun. ... for the life of...
I don't know if this info is correct but it sure looks good. http://www.danwessonforum.com/?page_id=3&forum=1&topic=27&page=1 This might explain the mix...

Due to the frame size, the model 15 and the model 40 cannot share barrels or shrouds. A model 40 can share it's shrouds with the other --- LARGE --- frame Dan ...
Thanks any way Lee, but I either want a 6" or 4". I have a 10"on it right now thats great for hunting, but in Sept. I'm going with a friend to video his bear...
Wayne, I gave Genny a call. I am supprised they still make barrils and shrouds for then 357 SM since they don't make it any more. I will use that as a last...
Greetings everyone, I have just joined this group and am wondering if some of you can help me on my gun. I purchased it appx. 1974 new. The location of...
I have a bright blued M/N 15 .357 that I would like to get a 4" barrel and full length underlug shroud for. I know I could order new, but wondered if anyone...
Hi Gang --- I talked about this gun before --- It is the one that just "dings" the primer -- No "BOOM" ---- I changed the hammer spring with a 7.5 lb but that...
Hello all, I have a DW 357 Mag CTG serial number 162545. Can you tell me how old it is and what does CTG stand for? It was made in Monson Mass. Thanks, Roy...
... The CTG is merely an abbreviation of the word cartridge... I'm much more a fan of the Pointman semi-autos so I don't have much on the wheelguns... Bear ...
Roy, There is really no way to know for sure when your DW was produced or sold. We have starting to compile serial numbers and dates from owners who remember...
