I had a couple of Dan Wesson revolvers probably in the late 1980s. They were well finished and accurate. The double action was odd and fairly heavy. The single action was good.
I always ignored the cylinder gap feeler gauge and set it quite a bit tighter. Never had a problem with any build up from firing so I always kept it tight.
Mine were in .44 mag. I did like the double lock-up design. I had one with four barrels but never used the shortest as it seemed ridiculous on that large revolver.
The only DW revolver I used way back had cylinders/chambers so rough that one had to pound the empties out with a dowel.
You could actual see the machine marks in them.
I hope the new ones are better
