twister Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) I have a chance to buy a Dan Wesson revolver, and wanted to know if they're any good ? I'll be shooting it in a PPC league with very light wadcutter bullets. Any help is appreciated. I already have a 6" L frame, this would be an extra gun.

Toolguy Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The Dan Wessons are a quality, accurate gun. Compared to a S&W, they are a bit klunky for double action work. Many people shot them with good success in IHMSA (Metallic Silhouette) using them in the single action mode. Your 6" L frame is a very good choice for PPC, either stock or built into a custom gun.

twister Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Toolguy, thanks for your help. I think I'm going to pass on the Dan Wesson, as the double action is clunky. If anything, I think I'll buy another L frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Can't go wrong there, I have 9 of them. They are my primary competition guns in various forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radny97 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I have mine set up for PPC and did a trigger job on it. I think the trigger is now better than my tuned 627 PC. They aren't necessarily race guns but are great for silhouette, and can be made to work very well in PPC and perhaps as a production revolver in action pistol/bianchi cup.

Toolguy Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) That's what most of the (few) revo shooters are using for Bianchi. Edit to add: I am talking about S&W L frame here. Apparently I misunderstood the previous post and thought they meant L frame. Some are using the 7 shot in case of a short stroke or misfire.

So what are the advantages of the DW over say, a S&W L Frame in Bianchi? I only ask because I have a 6" 686 that I've considered shooting at a Bianchi style match we have at my local club.

Toolguy Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The S&W Is much better for D/A shooting than the DW for any purpose. The DW hammer and trigger are almost twice the size of S&W same parts. DW is best for S/A shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
