Well it has been about three years since I have visited the forum.  I have sold all of my Dan  Wessons with the exception of a Model 15 H, with 8" and 2" barrels....I got into "money pits" for a while, I had to British cars and not only was it time consuming but very expensive and frustrating.  For the past year I have been buying trading and swapping Smiths and Wessons.  However there is a pawn shop I go in occasionally and was there yesterday; They had a Model 741 VH 6" barrel in pretty good condition and had come down on the price.  When I looked at it six months ago it was $900 and I thought that was way too high.  For Black Friday they lowered it to $750 and I traded 2 Smith model 10s that I did not have too much in and $211.  I do my own reloading but do not have dies, brass or bullets for it.  The only issue with the gun is the rear sight is loose.  I think that is held in with that small pin?  has anyone taken one off to see ?  In research the 741 I could not/have not found much information on it.  On FB the "fans of Dan Wesson site" I was told it was somewhat rare.  That is always a good feeling.DW741-VH-A.jpgImage Enlarger

Just spotted this thread, welcome back!

Yes, the 741 isn't as common as some other models, but more so than others...I'd say it's kinda in the middle.lol2 Congrats on landing that one, I am still looking for one myself.smile
