Welcome to DWF, and congrats on snagging a good one! The fixed barrels don't seem to show up much, I recently bought a Palmer 715 with 3" barrel, I will post pics when it arrives.

   Give us a range report when you have a chance, and the guys here all love cool-pics

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.

Welcome to the DWF.

I won't say anything about posting pics as so many others have already done so.  You get the picture.

ok ok here are the pics from the trade.  i havnt taken any of my own as of yet.  and i shot it the day we made the trade and every cylinder full  i put 6 out of 6 inside the 10 ring on a 25 yard slow fire pistol target at 25 yards.  i shot 38 specials and 357's and i can not believe how light the recoil was. the 38's felt like a 380 and the 357 felt like 38's!!!!   i think i have found a new favorite wheel gun!!!!   any idea of approx. dollar value?  not that i will ever sell this baby it would just be nice to know what they go for. everyone i have showed it to wants to buy or trade for it.  goodluck with that!!!!   lol

welcome Walt probably knows your area better than anyone but

up here that iron piece would go for as much as $400 to $500.

 

Congrats occasion

welcome from Kentucky! Those fixed barrel DW's are somewhat scarce. You got a good one there.

For someone who does not know DW, and especially fixed barrel DW, maybe the "value" is not so much. For someone that wants a rare(er) Dan Wesson it is easily a $500 gun.

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.

thanks for the responses guys!  yea i figured at least $500 but to me it shoots like a $1000!!!  i shot it again today and was making little 3leaf clover groups propped up on my range bag at 25 yards with 38's in it,  by far my best shooting revolver.
