Dan Wesson got back into the revolver business with the 715 (LOVE mine).  I think their sales numbers have been pretty good. I was just wondering if, based on the success of the 715,  there are any plans to make other calibers?

I wonder what new calibers they  would be made in? .44 magnum or maybe .22? Since the super mag caliber ammo is so difficult to find I assume they probably wouldn't make those calibers. 

I guess a guy can dream, right.

Another run of .44s would be nice. Some badass looking custom Dans to compete with the higher end Europeans would do it for me.

In my opinion it is unlikely. Semi autos and small revolvers rule. I bet S&W doesn't sell many x frame guns

Honestly, I'm wondering if Dan Wesson is still making any new 715s. I purchased one recently but it wasn't terribly easy to find. It seems like the new 715s are getting fewer and fewer on places like Gunbroker, especially the Pistol Packs.

Does anyone know if the production run on them was limited, or if they only produce so many in a given year?

Definitely agree that a new 744 would be amazing. A run on blue guns would be simply incredible. Doesn't seem likely but I'm just dreamin' out loud...
