I'm curious to know how many configurations the Dan Wesson Min Pacs were offered in such as calibers, number and types of barrels, and accessories. Also, when and where were the Mini Packs manufactured?
I've poked around the Internet to obtain this information, but I have not had much success. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think any of us know the answer to your question, GG. My mini Pack will be used to store my 738+P. Small pack = small gun.

I agree with Zoomb, I'd guess that most (if not all) of us are still in a learning curve regarding the mini-Pac topic.
I assume the cases themselves were made at the same plant as the larger ones, simply because they seem to be identical in style...just smaller. I've seen them in brown & black so far. Can't remember the manufacturer name at the moment.
The mini Pacs shown in the old DW brochures don't give them much mention or fanfare, they merely say something like "and you can order small ones too".
So far, I've only seen them with Model 22 & 15-2 guns, and only with one extra barrel, plus buckle & tool. I imagine other small frame calibers were also available, but I have yet to see one. I doubt they were available for the large frame guns, merely because of the size...a 744 6V for example, would probably only fit in the case if it was turned sideways.
BTW...the one on GB right now, seems to have non-factory fabric & possibly non-factory foam too, from what I can see in the pics. Plus, it's missing the plastic inser piece by the carrying handle. Just my observations, FWIW.

Hey Guys,
If this is the one CF is referring to I'm selling it for my uncle. The fabric is the same is my LNIB Mini-Pac so I think its original. I think its my not so good photos that make it look different. I have not looked at the foam of the one we're selling to compare with mine. And CF is correct its missing the little plastic piece on the handle. If this one doesn't sell tomorrow my uncle wants me to sell the two vented barrels separately.
Also based on what I have seen I have to agree with CF the Mini-Pac was typically the revolver and extra barrel and maybe a grip and buckle. That's basically what the early ads show as well.

Darn, I forgot there are two Mini Pac's on GB right now. I was referring to the bright yellow fabric in 15-2 Pac, I should have said that earlier. Sorry about that Jody, you have my permission to flog me for that.

There's a very nice looking one on eBay for $125.00.
