I inherited a Dan Wesson model 445 VH3C. I read about being able to change out the barrels to different sizes . Where can I get a longer barrel ? The label on the box says the finish is “carbon”.
Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the forum, John!
Barrel assemblies for Dan Wesson revolvers consist of the barrel and the shroud. They appear for sale occasionally on sites like GunBroker and eBay...possibly others. BAs for supermag models such as your 445 are seldom seen separately. Is your revolver blue or stainless? Stainless models are known as 7445...and any DW revolver follows suit. The number 7 is indicative of a model in stainless.
There is a wealth of information available in the forum archives and from well informed and experienced members. Please go to new-members-introduction and tell the group a bit about yourself and your interests.

Didn't know Dan made a carbon finish. Something new all the time. Any pictures of the label?

I think that is referring to blued carbon steel. I've not seen that spelled out before so a photo of the label would be great. A pic of the gun would be great 
. A blue VH3C would be a beautiful and rare configuration.
Welcome aboard and drop by New Members and tell us more about yourself and this gun.

To find a longer barrel and shroud, you will have to contact Dan Wesson in Norwich NY and order one. They can make what you want but it won't be cheap.

What would a "Blue VHC3 be? 3" compensated?
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
