It's a Dan Wesson 357 magnum 6" Vented Rib Barrel, model 15VR. It came out of the Monson, Mass factory.

Included are original wood grips & Hogue rubber grips
Also comes w/ barrel tool,2 speedloaders,speedloader pouch,& camo holster. Included is 50rds blazer JHP,20rds federal personal defense,& 20rds brass target ammo. Slight holster wear at the tip of the barrel.

Here is the only picture I have...

What should I pay on this. I love my DW Valor 1911, I'd like to buy my first revolver and it would be cool to get a DW, but I'm lost on value.

Thanks

You can get rough ideas from looking on Gunbroker. My personal opinion, $400-600 provided it looks good and action seems sound. If you are buying it locally I always think it is beneficial to be able to handle and check it out in person before committing. I'd rather pay top dollar for a local sale and know what I am getting.

dwf-welcomeI envy you getting started on dwasso young.laugh I was over 40 before I ever heard of Dan Wesson revolvers.

A local purchase in my area, SW Florida, for this gun in good condition would be $350 to $500, not counting the extras. Gunbroker prices would be higher. I agree with being willing to pay more for one I can handle before buying.

Good luck!

I love my DW Valor and so do all my 20 something friends, I'm glad I heard about them.

 

The guy is asking $540 cash or trade for ammo.

Not a terrible price, maybe slightly high because of the stuff with it. Depends on whether you want the extras

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.

Buy it, then get the OTHER 3 standard length barrels. But soon EWK is going to run some 15" barrel/shroud assemblies. And they shouldn't cost that much. He charges $135-$185 depending on the length for his 2.5", 4", 6", and 8" assemblies.

 

Granted they are not genuine DW parts, but when is CZ going to make any more?
