You're not kidding! Sure wish we could have prices like that these days. When I joined IHMSA in 1985, I wish I had known enough then to buy one of each of those Dan Wessons, but back then, the single-shots got all the glory. Revolvers were always relegated to the back of the bus, though some folks really campaigned them. It was a necessity for the Aggregate scores, or, for a lot of shooters, a pain trying to make those dang wheelguns do well.
