Has Anybody Had This Problem. My Model 14 Dan Wesson Missfires After You Shoot It Several Times. It well Start To Missfire About Every Other Shot After It Gets Hot. Out Of My 6 Dan Wesson Revolvers It IS The Only One That Does This.

I haven't had that problem, but I would suggest looking at the firing pin to make sure it is not too tight a fit to the hole (or oblong, gunked up, etc.) & moves freely.
Second would be the main spring. Make sure you have the proper grip screw(not interferring with the spring) and the correct spring (not one of the lower strength / easier trigger pull type).

I agree with Dusty.
I had a gummed-up firing pin in an auto pistol I used to have, it would act just like that...especially on cold days. I punched out the roll pin that held it in & flushed out all the crap that was making it drag. A little light oiling going back together & it was good as new.
Pull your hammer back (unloaded, of course) & tap on the firing pin with a pen. It should push in quickly & snap back immediately after you pull the pen back. If it returns slowly, it's gummed up & that's probably your mis-fire problem.
