I've had the idea to look for a used revolver for a long time now. I finally did it and the one that caught my eye was a "Dan Wesson 357 Mag" (I don't remember if Mag or any variation of that was on the gun. I have a horrible memory and should have taken pictures) It was a glossy bluing with wood grips. 6" probably. I think the rear sight was adjustable but the front was a basic iron sight with no red thing on it like I see on google. The cylinder release was new to me, on the swing arm... as I call it anyways. I can't look at the moment, as I'm rushing to type this out, but is there a catalog or something of all the different Dan Wesson models? I'm not sure which one this is.
I think the price was $599, hopefully not $699... As that's a bit more then I want to spend. I could use some pointers on how to check a revolver. I've only bought 1 used gun and it was a Glock 30. Looking online I see some for $500-600 range, but I think they might be better condition. The grips were a bit banged up, but I think the rest was fine/ok. I don't think it had the vents/ribs on the barrel. I was originally wanting to find a S&W with at least a 3" barrel and around $400.
TL DR, what is gun worth and how do I check it?
Thank you,
