Bought Dan Wesson 22LR 6 shot

@doddg
Just showed my gun and sale price to give you an idea of value of DW22 with original box, more rare 8" barrel, tool & instructions 2 years ago.
I wish you luck. I get bored easy but had the gun for 20 yrs or so. I am not knocking your purchase. Currently have NO .22lr handguns but have many .22 rifles and various center-fire handgun that I shoot regularly because I reload and have for about 32 yrs and the expense is important to me.

1. I am so glad you did!
2. It never entered my mind that you were knocking my purchase.
3. Knowing what others have paid is very enlightening for me since I know nothing about this gun, only the name "Dan Wesson."
4. I guy who bought a gun off me Monday, when I was telling him about it told me it was a fantastic shooter and for the price: spot-on. If he would have told me the price was highway robbery I would have run.
6. I picked up an old H&R for $175 and it is a fantastic shooter, so I wouldn't spend too much for an old used revolver w/o some encouragement.

Range Time:
All 30 feet.
S/A on top and middle
DBL/A on Bottom

It doesn't do better than my Ruger GP100:
All 30 feet
S/A on top and middle
DBL/A on Bottom

The Taurus Tracker 990 does better than both:
All 30 feet
S/A on top and middle
DBL/A on Bottom

WoW! I don't know what happen DBL action in the lower left.

I'm going to put the Dan Wesson up for sale: it doesn't impress me with being any better than the Ruger GP100 or Taurus Tracker 990.
I wanted to love it and see/feel the difference, but it is not there.
I'll put an ad in tonight.

Before you sell it, try mine when we meet up this week. It may be barrel tension or improper gapping causing the accuracy issue.

I will put in on hold!

Well, Areoflyer09 and I did get together at the range today and tried to get 2 hours of shooting done in 1 hour: hectic.
We began and concentrated with .22LRs beginning with my Dan Wesson (4") and his Dan Wesson (8"), yes, TWICE the size of my barrel.
I was go jealous: it is exactly what I wanted in a .22 range gun: a big long heavy monstrosity!!!
Needless to say, his 8" Dan Wesson was more accurate at the 30' we were working with.
I should have taken a pic of his Wesson: it makes mine look like a compact.
I could have taken pics and posted like I usually do, but just take my word for it.
If I remember correctly, he could shoot mine better than I could.

I'll post about our semi-autos on another thread I have.
