What's the word on Dan Wesson revolvers...

I've wanted one since I started getting serious about shooting in the 80's and just never took the bait. I still want one (in 357 Magnum). Armslist seems to have a bucket full of them for $500-$600 in good condition. Kinda surprised as I figured they'd bring a bit more than that. CZ/Dan Wesson says on their web sight that late summer they are going to resume production on the 715 and grips, barrels and shrouds from the 15-2 model and newer will fit it. Kinda pricey but I like it. If it's strong and accurate, it should do what I want...hunt game and steel plates, maybe some silhouette shooting. Thoughts?

my son and i both have them; i have the stainless vent heavy
pistol pac with all 4 barrels; got that one in 82 and it is my favorite 357. i have the 44 mag set as well, and so does my son.
terrifically accurate. rugged , strong, and have never had a problem ...finally tracked down a 22 set for each of us as well.
It would be nice if they start...

Producing both calibers again. I'd love to have both 357 and 44 with both a 4" and 6" barrel each. I may just have to start scouring the used gun market!
High Standard sold a version of a DW too.

They were called the Sentinel II. I saw one yesterday at a show for $350 with a 2.5" barrel. I was very tempted.
Article on DW's in the current Handloader, coincidently.

I need to renew my subscription to HL. It was the last magazine I subscribed to and I don't have much time to read them anymore so they just pile up unless there's a really good article on something I'm interested in. I really wish they'd do an e-subscription. They have the online but last time I checked you had to log in on line to read them. I would love it if they'd do something you could download to iBooks or Newsstand on my iPad so I could read them offline.
I appreciate all the info guys...

I may start by trying to search out a clean used stainless 44, preferably with a 6" barrel and see how we get along:)
