Yes, trying to decide on new 715 @$850 v finding an older model, I posted that question in the revolver section thinking it would be more likely to help more people with similar questions rather than posting it in this intro post: https://www.danwessonforum.com/forum/revolvers/looking-at-a-usednew-715/

I agree with the $850.00 purchase on a new one.  If that opportunity passes you by, then an older original is a great catch too.  You'll often find many variations of accessories with the older models so your prices will vary depending upon what all comes with the revolver.  Great to have you here.

Just to clarify, it's a used, new model 715 w/ 300 round count. I made that clear in the post in revolvers.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Welcome from the Metroplex. That's a good price for the "new" 715. 300 round count on a Dan, new or old, barley counts as break in!

To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:

if you find one...what's your plan?
