I have a chance to pick up a Dan Wesson 44V 6" for about $500. No box, no tools. Overall good condition with some mark on the front of the barrel.

Id grab it, the DW 44s are great shooters.

That's a bargain and you can still get barrels and shrouds easily enough for the 44. I'd buy it.

Check out CZ USA. They are making Dan Wesson parts/barrels and revolvers again.
I almost ( I screwed up, I should have ordered it) ordered a 6" heavy vent rib barrel for mine back in December when they had that sale. I just don't shoot it enough to make it worth it. |

I was looking at those. $300 for a 6" VH, and then tools on top of that. That's proced about $100 more than my DW .357 15VH was. |

IMHO one of the finest 44s and an excellent price...

I ended up trading my HK45 for the DW 44 plus a nice amount of cash on his end, box of ammo, and a gun guard pistol case for it. So it worked out for me just fine.
I noticed the barrel and shroud have some wiggle to it. My Dan Wesson 15 .357 did not. I'm guessing it just needs to be tightened a bit more. |

I thought it was a stainless gun until I saw the "silver" flaking off. Would look awesome with a full underlug but that's just me. I've never heard anything bad about Dan Wesson guns, I think you made a fantastic deal. I like it! Congrats!

Stainless Monson .44 for $500, I'd have bought it.
Looking at the barrel it appears to be a matte nickle though. (definitely would have bought it) You can get a new build barrel tool from EWK arms. http://www.ewkarms.com/zen8/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67_5&products_id=2 |

I thought they only had these in stainless and blued finishes. I don't think it was refinished, although I may be wrong. Now I just need to save up some money for a new barrel and some ammo.  I'm thinking either full 6" or 4"

44 Remington Magnum +P+ 340 Grain Lead Flat Nose Gas Check
6" is a nice compromise. You might look into replating...

It's a Dan Wesson Model 44 from 1981, a refinished blued gun. A stainless DW .44 Magnum (Model 744) would have an S/N starting with SB... or 44S...

My Palmer guns have a serial number that start with either S (stainless) or B (blued). None of my Monson guns have a letter in their serial numbers. |

Color case harden the hammer and trigger. That looks good with nickle. |
