My question is.... why doesn't the DWF rate a visit from keith with the 715 info ?  This would be the best place to announce the release.  Do the 1911 guys REALLY care about the 715...  Not as much as the DWF guys .

Charger Fan – you must have missed my post at the beginning of the thread.  I am going to be ordering the guns as soon as orders can be booked.  It won't be long now.

I'm on the list!  Big Grin

Shoot, I'm hoping that Keith will eventually drop by the DWF.  I think at least up until now he would have gotten bombarded with questions about the return of revolvers, etc. which I suspect he has little control in.

I know CZ-USA knows we're here.  I sent them the petition we all signed earlier this year but have been disappointed that I never received a reply.  Keep in mind this was sent to CZ-USA President Alice Poluchova not to Keith.

The good news is at least for now the 715 is returning to production!  

On a side note I received my CZ-USA catalog today which is really the Guns & Ammo CZ-USA Special Collector's Edition 2011 issue.  I know I purchased the 2010 and it was $6 or $7 so it was nice to receive it for free!

I was at a dealer to pick up some ammo for rabbit hunting. 

I asked them about putting some money down on a new DW 715 for the 2011 first run.  They knew nothing about it, but they did confirm that it was in the 2011 CZ Catalog.  But no pricing nor schedule was available to this dealer (Jay's in Clare MI).

They would be interested on getting more DW revolvers in their showrooms....they will be contacting their distributor and would let me know any upcoming updates...I will let this forum know once I receive any info from Jay's.

Please consider working with DWF Member harly, I think he is trying to set up a group buy.

Clare, MI!

Been through and around there many times, it's one of the most beautiful parts of America.

A new 715 with a new shroud design occasion  $1200 does seem a bit high, but since it includes a pistol pac type case the price is a little more reasonable.

I agree with Jody, CZ is pushing the new Dan Wesson revolvers ever closer into Freedom Arms territory – and this is not a bad thing Laugh.

With an ETA of June 2011, I have some time to save my pennies.

If the price is set close to Freedom Arms, I certainly expect the performance to be close also, right?

For those of you that own both, in the .357 caliber, what is the current delta of accuracy between the two? I realize that they are two different technologies but just the same, $1,200 should get you something extra.

Just posted on the CZ-USA website:  DW 715 with a 6"VH Barrel SS with Hogue grip, case and wrench.  But no MSRP given

http://cz-usa.com/products/view/dw715/

 

When will they come out with the Model 15 or the 744?

I would be surprised if the design varied from the original but who knows.  Since I expect these to be a little pricey I wonder what that will do to the used 15/715 market...


I'm not sure how this will affect DW prices, but just in case... Wink  I bought this 2 minutes ago ...

DW showed up today, and it truly does look LNIB--I think I'll just toss this one in the back of the safe and check on it every once in a while Laugh...  I feel the DW market taking a dramatic upswing in 2011...

Palo,

It's been a few years ago, but IIRC my 15-2 with 10" BA and 4x scope turned in some good results at 50 yards.  I recently added a Freedom Arms in .357 to my collection.  This one is equipped with a 9" barrel and 4x scope.   I am planning to get out to the range sometime soon with both revolvers and do some comparison target shooting.

I will post with info and pictures when this happens.

Wayne,

 

I always like to have a goal or mission when I head for the range, this would certainly qualify. I think all of us would be interested in the results since now we are seeing similar pricing for two products that claim the same attributes.
