I had a Dan Wesson with 2” and 8” barrels. In a target match with the 8” barrel mounted, I outshot a Colt Pyton 357 with ease.
Agree that the Dan could have been on the list. Many of the ones ON the list are slightly too exotic for most shooters; me included. Was VERY happy to see the 1911 45 Cal. ACP near the top of the list.
I took the head off a rattlesnake from about 50 feet with my Dan Wesson, and didn’t hit neither of the dogs either. Although I did once sink a fish hook in Rudolph’s (yellow lab) nose once.
parsy, who likes to think he wasn’t just lucky
