 I'm a new member and have owned a Dan Wesson 44 Mag revolver for about ten years it has a non interchangeable 6″ barrel with a full barrel lug.  I was told it was designed to be a target pistol when I purchased it new even thought it was old stock. Its stainless steel

Welcome to the DWF Sign, the fixed barrel guns are pretty cool. I know there are a couple others on the forum with one or two of them but they're not that common.  Is it blued or stainless?  We will be needing pics fairly soon. Welcome again hope you enjoy the forum.

Welcome to the DWF. This is the place that is all DW. Get us some pics and a range report would be great also. But be cautious or DWAS will take over soon.

Welcome to theDWF Sign
As Superdan stated, the fixed barrels are fairly uncommon in the DW lineup & to me, that makes them more interesting & unique. I've got a pair of .357's myself, and hope to be able to get some .44's later on.Smile

Here's a FB picture thread we have going...which you're welcome to add to, if you'd like.

And here's a recent FB info thread that's still a work in progress.Laugh

Welcome to the DWF Sign... Sounds like you have a great find there!  There aren't too many of us with fixed barrels (I have NONE)...

Welcome Gary.

The FB guns seem to be fairly rare.  However, you'll soon acquire a taste for the interchangeable barrel guns, and then DWAS will set in and that will guarantee a trip to the poor-house.

Welcome to the forum Gary. Those fixed barrel Dan Wessons are becoming quite popular around here.
