    Here's a quote
    History:

    Dan Wesson, the great-grandson of D.B. Wesson co-founder of Smith & Wesson, was born in 1916. He worked in the family company from 1938 until 1963 when S & W was acquired by Bangor Punta. Having formed a tool and die company in 1948, he left S & W and changed the name of D. B. Wesson, Inc. to Dan Wesson Arms. The firearms of Dan Wesson Arms earned a reputation as a silhouette gun. But by 1983 Dan Wesson Arms was in trouble. The family had gotten out of the company and the popularity of silhouette shooting had declined. The quality of the firearms dropped according to many owners of Dan Wesson revolvers made during this time. At one point it looked as though the company would close down. But then Seth (the son of Dan Wesson) and Carol Wesson took control of the company renaming it Wesson Firearms Co. This version of the company soon floundered. After several years, New York International bought up the name and has restarted a company intending to produce the Dan Wesson design guns again.

      Does this mean to want to forget about the Dirty Harry Special you bought when the movie came out?Or the white linen shirt with wooded buttons, tight pants, feathered back hair and a shoulder rig( maybe double shoulder rig) with a S&W model 29 8-3/8" barrel. How tall were the heels of your shoes?

      "I gots'ta know"


      How many of you old timers bought 29's at over 2x retail I wonder? Dan Wessons actually have a great reputation as long as they are Monson,MA produced guns though as I have bad luck, as usual I owned what seems the lone bad example of a Monson gun.

      Dan Wessons have that great accuracy rep but I've shot groups with standard S&W's that were so close in size I figure 99% of shooters would be ok with it.

        You should plan and execute something cool with that magical post.
