    average market price: single revolver, 800 - 1000, pistol pac 2000. condition varies GREATLY because no one back then ever thought they might become collectable. they were bought to use, not save. 20190401_144632.jpg 20190401_144721.jpg
    OUTSTANDING FIREARM ! I could bore you to death talking about all the features, options, and accessories that were available. here are 2 pics from an ORIGINAL BROCHURE.

    The price they are asking for those *typical .357 models is ridiculous on Guns International. You rarely see them go for over $500 tops on GB. My recent Model 15 cost me $370.

    *Not including the 715's, which for those who don't know, is a current model.

    nice deal southpaw !! really like to see some pix

    I thought it was. Cosmetically it's got a few not so perfect spots I'm not crazy about, but it functions as it should. I'm not sure if I should leave it as is or see if I want to do something about it. I'll try to get some pics of all three tomorrow.

    Beautiful. All the barrel lengths you could ever want in a 357, grips and sights as well. Wow super sweet. What's the longest barrel? Just need old time but stock adapter.

    Well I did it. I couldn't let go if my curiosity over the dan wesson. I have been looking off and on...on gunbroker. The other day I saw one examined the pics for days. It looked like an estate gun that had never been shot.
    Contacted seller and yea it was an estate sale.
    I just picked it up from my FFL. This gun is in absolutely brand.new condition. Never been shot. finish is something to behold. It is a 6 inch heavy vented barrel that balances nice in hand with the presentation grips it came with. The single action trigger is very nice. The double a bit heavy but so smooth. Once this gun gets broken in the triggers are going to very very nice. I almost dont want to shoot it but that's what guns are for. I cant wait to be able to get some free time to take it to the range. Very happy with my purchase. The paper that came with it says 1978 but I need to find a serial number search.

    Well for the 2 3/4 barrel. Nice feel with the compact grips. This zebra wood grip is big and heavy. Sure makes the wesson look nice.
