Good morning all,
Proud to be a member of this forum. Did not know that this forum was in existence, until my son gave me a DW .357 with an eight barrel attached along with a two inch barrel for an early Father's day gift. I then started looking for a model number and a build year date. Looking forward to reading more about Dan Wesson in the future.
I remember back in the mid 1980s at a IHMSA match in SW Arkansas and watching in amazement how accurate the Dan Wesson revolvers shot ( .357 and .44 ). Dan Wesson revolvers at that time became an Eleanor to me. Which I am a die hard .41 fan, but just having a DW is another answered prayer. Maybe someday one day a .41 will fill my hands.
Just received a text from my son, he is trading for a DW .44
as I'm typing this. Maybe he will want to work on a trade
.

Well, the .44 DW deal went bad, the cylinder stop was broken or so dirty that it wouldn't "pop up" to hold the cylinder. Any way, son did find a Mod. W12. He went and bought is Sunday, serial number is 308X. If anybody could give us a manufacture date, it would be appreciated. And I would post the pictures of them but don't know how. Have not found instructions on the forum yet.
I do have a question, will Dan Wesson, since it's a sub of CZ, still repair older revolvers?
Thanks for the welcoming.

Models 11 and 12 were made in 1970. Around serial number 10,000 and 1971 they released the interior nut models 14 and 15. They also changed the hand , transfer bar and the handspring to engage in a slot in the hand.
