Did CZ ever put out a 414 Dan Wesson since thye bought them? I asked to have one built shortly after the sale, but they wouldn't do it. At the time, they were only doing the 445. -Lee www.singleactions.com

vonfatman...those are some very nice Dan Wessons there. Great pics also. Man, the bluing on that Supermag is so deep, you can see some ancestors reflections in there. ;D

How about a pair of 1st year .357 Dan Wesson Model 12 "Porkchops"? These are the twins, Ed & Fred (just named 'em today ;D ). They are sequential serial number guns, and are unfired. They also come with cool accessories...Pistol Pac's! The barrels are 2", 4" & 6"...they have a target grip, combat grip & a grip blank so you can whittle your own. (extra barrels on the red shirt didn't come with the Pac's)

Thanks, IHMSA! 'Chops are generally considered to be the redheaded step child of the Dan Wesson family, but these sure changed my mind. I like 'em! ;D This one's a .357 Model W12, sporting a combat grip. It's also got the best, most flawless finish of 'em all. This one's a .38 Special service revolver, Model D11. Sporting a target grip, this one is also a fixed barrel gun...pretty unique in the world of Porkchops. Here's another .38 Special service revolver, Model 14-1. This one's different from the rest due to his flush barrel nut & slim grips with a nifty checkered pattern. Here's the whole 'Chop famdamily. ;D (Ed & Fred are wearing combats in this shot)

Redheaded stepchild or not, that is a great family of originals there.

Nice collection! Those stocks are ugly but shaped to the human hand better than most gun stocks like the last of the S&W "Target" stocks.

I agree, they're ugly (like the gun), but comfy. ;D Ok, it's time to rescue this thread from down on page 2. This one's a Model 15 .357 three inch fixed barrel...and so far, only .357's & .44's are known to have been made in this style. And as expected with any blued DW, a great finish.

That is a great-looking Palmer 15. Love that reflective finish.

I remember the Little Dans when they came out 8 or 9 years ago. Got a chance to handle one in a shop and they were really well built little snubs. This thread reminds me of how much I miss Dan Wesson. -Lee www.singleactions.com

I haven't checked this thread in a while. Some nice DW's there!!
A few pages back someone asked the question of CZ making a 414. Mine is a CZ made 414. The picture of it is on page 2. I was at the Harrisburg sportsman's show and saw that CZ had just bought DW, so when I got home I called DW up and ordered my 414. It was the only super mag I didn't have. It took about 3 months to get it. When I did a friend liked it and had to have one. He called CZ-DW and was told the same thing Lee was told..no more new builds.
I know CZ has made a big mistake to stop producing the revolver line.
