Picked up my first Palmer at a local gun show.  Came with 8" and 6" barrels, a tool, gauge and instruction book for $475.

I can't tell if it's blue or SS - it looks SS in the pics. but the 8" bbl. looks blue.  Regardless, nice buy.

It's a 715, the seller may have a .32 H&R magnum coming up soon!

It got me thinking, could you lengthen a .32 H&R cylinder bore to make it into a .327 federal magnum?  That would be a fun gun.

yes, you can have the cylinder reamed and the DW will handle it fine--I'm already looking for a spare cylinder.

Keep me in mind I need a 32m in blue or ss.  Nice grab on the 715 palmer!

Shot it today, little trouble with extraction, easy fix.  Trigger measures at a little heavy at 4 1/2 lbs, need to take a little off for my tastes. Nice gun thought, that makes seven Dan Wessons since September.

That's good to know.  It's time to save up for a new cylinder for my 732.

Great looking DW. You didn't get hurt with that price either. Good pick up.

Yesterday I got a call from the local police department, it was GTDW.  I returned it to the PD and I am on a list of victims that are owed restitution by the thief who is now in the local jail.

The butt head stole and sold 30 of his fathers guns and got caught when he tried selling his mothers jewelry.  His dad then opened his safe and found it cleaned out.  He kept very detailed records and most of the guns have been recovered, all were sold to guns and pawn shops in the local area.

I need to make a good list and photograph everything in my safe in case it happens to me.

I am sad to loose the gun but am glad the rightful owner got it back.  For Dan Wessons he lost a .44 .41 .357 (mine) and a .32 and now has them all back.

Too bad you got caught up in this slug's shameful act. Glad to hear though the system worked for once, and he was caught, and most of the items have been recovered so far. Hopefully you will get your restitution soon.

Oh man, that's disappointing.  (I know it's done and have seen it, but can't imagine what thieves are thinking.)  Hope you get your $$ back soon.  At least you had it for a while.
