Can anyone enlighten me on where to find historical information on Dan Wesson. I have been considering one that is at a local gun shop, but know very little about the revolvers. He has several in stock, including 357mags and 44mags. What is the difference between the manufacturing sights?

Al help appreciated.

Thanks!

HAVE A LOT OF WISE GENTLEMEN ON THIS SITE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF GOOD SITES TO RESEARCH THESE GUNS ON. FOR MY TWO CENTS I WOULD STAY WITH THE ONES MADE IN MONSON, AND TRY TO AVOID THE LATER MADE REVOLVERS. I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A LATER 44, THE TIMING KEPT GETTING MESSED UP ON IT. MAYBE I JUST GOT A LEMON, BUT I HEARD AFTER THE COMPANY MOVED, THE TOLERANCES WENT OUT THE WINDOW.
