I have 4 DW revolvers...2 x .44s and 2 x ,357s. They are all excellent guns, great shooters, and quite nicely finished and attractive, IMO. I have 2 barrels for each of mine, and I like the ability to tailor the barrel length to my intended purpose for the gun for that day. I realize that DWs, over the years, have had some spotty QC, but I've only bought the Monson produced versions, and I've seen no quality issues with any of mine.

Would I say they are "superior" to my S&Ws? No...just different. I believe for .357, I might stick with the S&W...for the .44s, I would have trouble picking one over the other.
