I recently picked up not one but TWO 741 stainless steel 41 magnums: one eight inch 741V and one six inch 741V. The first one on the left is used but the one on the right seems like the previous owner only fired a few shots from it before squirreling it away. As you can see, it comes with all the "necessary propaganda" to include the multiple tool, Dan Wesson Gift Shop Catalog, instruction manual, envelope for the plastic tool covers, yellow plastic guard in between the back of the cylinder and recoil plate, and a 1983 dated letter of congrats to the new proud owner of the revolver (not to mention the original box and the shredded remains of the original bubble wrap). I ended up firing the 741V 8" using some Speer 210 rounds (at $32.00 for a box of 20!) at a shooting range in Tampa. It would shoot tighter groups were it not for the danged ventilation blowing the target hither and yon.
As to the other 6" 741V: I haven't fired it (nor had the heart to). I don't know what to do with the extremely nice nearly new 741 but I'll probably keep it for trading stock on some unobtainium Dan Wessons I have yet to get (like a highly unlikely 414, 7414, 7360, 7460, or 745). So what does "DWAS" stand for? Dan Wesson Arms "sickness"?

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.

Those are two beauties. I have to reload my blue steel one. The price of ammo is pretty high. Bitterroot Valley ammo is the cheapest and best ammo i have found. http://www.bvac-ammo.com/ I think I paid 35.00 for 50 rounds.

Very nice score! It's hard to beat a Dan Wesson in my favorite caliber.

Very nice! In my neck of the woods Dan Wessons seem to be very sparse. Would love to score like you have.

Nice brace of revolvers.
My 1981 vintage 41 DW has never had a store bought bullet in it. I like to think it will go through it´s whole shooting life untainted.

I think he means that he will shoot only his own reloaded ammunition in that one.

That makes more sense, I thought he meant that the was not going to use it at all and just let it sit in a box.
Sorry my misunderstanding

Great score on the .41 mag Dans You can really help yourself out feeding them now if you get into reloading, that is what makes magnum handgun shooting much more affordable. Thanks for the pics too..

From what I could discern this is a dealer only company?
