Dan Wesson 5 day set

It's very expensive to make a good revolver and they aren't in demand by the younger generations.
I admire them but I'm too old to enjoy it now.

Yep, after CZ bought Dan Wesson they actually brought them back out but discontinued them AGAIN in 2020.
because after they bought Colt the Dan Wesson revolver made no economic sense to keep producing. I understand and even agree with their decision, but it's a shame.

I know. You never want to have competing models in your product offering. Colt has much higher brand recognition and a larger customer base. Dan Wesson is a niche portion of the high end double action market. But the old ones are out there. The Monson made models are held at the highest esteem.

I’m a blued steel and wood guy. Love my revolvers. But you are right. Tupperware guns are the rage. I have run across one or two .357 Maximums and .32 H&R Mags but they are usually single barrel guns. Seems like the .22s and .445s are usually single barrels as well. I’ve never seen a .41 or .32-20. I keep my eyes open but if the person knows what they have the price will be too deep for my pockets.

That is awesome. I saw a guy on eBay selling wood furniture for ARs. I should get one. Love the look.

I'm probably going to sell it. I have a 223 bolt action and I just built this one as a "getting used to retirement " project. It's on a a Ruger lower and I put a bunch of special parts in it that I don't remember, but I don't think that I will ever shoot it. The 450 Bushmaster is more fun.
