First one I've ever seen. Wondering who else has one or has info on them. DW Norwich First Issue IDPA 744. 5 inch, bright polished, unfluted cylinder. Luckily it had a BIN, I beat Ole Dog to this one before he could sniff it out!!!

Wow that is pretty cool. I shoot IDPA and I don’t know anyone competing with a beefy 44 mag revolver 😂
Of course you can shoot 44 spl for less recoil but damn.
This must have been back in the days when you could request custom serial numbers maybe?

I agree too Ole Dog! Maybe itll give me a chance to snatch up a deal on a blued 32 or maybe even a 32-20 before you do!

I might be the only odd duck shooting IDPA with a Dan Wesson 744 4" Moon Clipped revolver. I use 44 specials for the shorter cases.

I just saw this gun guy posted pic on Facepage of it. Looks pretty rare? He says the twist of the barrel is 10 not eight like most Dan Wesson 44 magnum barrels what's up with that? also trying to put a value on this gun may do a trade he wants my Palmer 445 I don't think it's worth a direct trade but this is a rare gun.

10 groove barrel, compared to the 8 groove in my other 44 barrels. Maybe it's a Norwich thing....all my other 44 barrels are Monson.

Is it # of grooves are is it twist rate? 1:8 twist vs 1:10 twist? The faster twist rate (1:10) would stabilize heavier bullets.

You have it backwards Kurt, 1:8 is a faster twist than 1:10.

1:8 twist ratio is one full twist (360* rotation) in 8" of barrel length which happens sooner (faster) than in ten inches (1:10).
