Wow never thought I’d own one of these crazy long barreled 357 mag Dan Wesson revolvers. 15 inches according to the feds but per the definition of a barrel in MA, it is 16.75"…since the chamber is included in the definition of a “barrel”
Anyway this explains why I changed my avatar/profile photo if anyone was wondering
So I can reenact that scene with the joker in batman
Overall the gun is in great shape minus the chambers which were fairly leaded - had to scrub those hard.
It has the famous DW plum “Barney” bluing on the frame. One theory is the amount of silica in the investment casting molding used to make the frames. Contamination of the alloy with silica prior to bluing eventually reacts with the bluing and turns it purple. Gorgeous zebrawood grips which are fairly rare and expensive.
I believe it was made in 1982. While the 15 inch barrel assembly was made around 1979 based on the VCI paper in the factory barrel box
About to hit the range now. I’m in deep shit if I break this one! @dhuze
Also mounted a scope just because it fits it well
