I’m a new member, that just joined the site. My name is Tommy and I live in Huntsville Alabama. I’ve recently purchased a gorgeous Dan Wesson 44 Magnum, with 3 VH barrels in 8″, 6″, and 4″. I don’t have any problems swapping out the 8″ or the 6″, and setting the .006 clearance at the forcing cone. There seems to be an issue with the 4″ though. It doesn’t have the same number of threads on the barrel, where it screws into the frame. About an 1/8 of an inch short of the barrel sleeve, unlike the 6″ & the 8″ that have threads all the way into the barrel sleeve. The 4″ barrel stops screwing into the frame before it comes through the breach side, due to not enough threads on the barrel. Seems like this barrel doesn’t belong with this revolver or sleeve. I can’t find anything on the subject. Can anyone tell me why? Did they make it different for another year? Did it just not get made correctly? Is it just the wrong barrel?

Definitely don’t want to shoot the 4″er, without being able to run it down to the proper clearance.
