Pork Chop

I picked up a Dan Wesson W12 at an auction yesterday. It was a good deal and I'd never seen one before. It seems to be quite well made. After doing some research on these, I discovered they are nicknamed "pork chops", ha!

Anyhow, I was curious if anyone here has shot/owned W12s and how you like them?

This one is unfired. I'm debating on whether I should make a safe queen out of it or try to wear out these three barrels. The latter would be alot more fun for sure but I'm not sure how collectable these revolvers are.

Also, It didn't come with a barrel wrench or shim and I'm looking for these parts. It looks like a 12 point wrench would fit it, not sure what thickness of shim is used though.
