I finally found one I could afford!! Wahoo! Picked it up at a gunshow this past weekend in Kansas City.
A Monson gun. Blue, 8″ gun in great condition with box, extra barrel, tools. PhotoTime is down tonight so I'll have to post a pic in the morning….It also came with two boxes of DW ammo (current production stuff)…all for $550.00
Yes, I'm still pinching myself!!
Sooo…I now have a SuperMag to go with my two .357 Magnums…now to find a .44, 445, etc…

I've had a model 40, since 1992 and have fed it a regular diet of 200gr cast and jacketed sillouette loads and it still shoots better than I do. You will enjoy it's accuracy and range. I set it to shoot 1" high at 100yds and I can ring the gong at 200yds consistantly. The cast 200gr is also an excellent deer round.

Great find, and a very nice looking gun! My first Dan Wesson was a 740-V8S back in 1986, and it is still a favorite. It shot the first ever Revolver 40x40 by a Kentucky resident in 1988, and is as accurate today. You'll love the Supermag cartridge.

Thanks IHMSA80x80!
Congratulations on your fine shooting!!
I hope to run some down the tube very soon...waiting for the weather to break a bit!

Your gun has the light slotted shroud, an optional extra, that's getting harder to find. A fine DW, congrats and good shooting. If you reload; try 180 or 200gr bullets. I've found these to be the most accurate and the heavier bullets are easier on the forcing cone, which is why DW gave 2 barrels with their supermags; most factory loadings were 158 gr semijacketed. The LFN gas checked cast bullet gives me 1" groups at 50yds off sandbags and I can ring the gong at 200yds all day long.

It is a thing of beauty and I would love to have a shroud like that for all my DW's
