I traded a Dan Wesson 15 .357 even up for a 66-7 recently and was happy.

I did keep a beat up looking 4" fixed sight .357 Dan Wesson (Model 14?) that I got for like $250 because I thought it looked cool, looks like it was a PD or security gun. The timing is off and the hex screws are stripped so I can't even get the sideplate off to fix it.......I've had it for a year and never even fired it, someday I'll have a gunsmith work on it. I may just have CZ tune it up at some point. The gun is tight and doesn't seem to have been fired much, timing was probably off from the factory. I'm not really a DW fan, but I needed a DW fixed sight service revolver for my "trade in" collection I don't think I would buy any more DW's, I don't like the fact that in full lockup, you can grab the cylinder and rotate it without much force at all. My Model 15 was like new and it still did this.......

DW's have little resale value and the common Model 15's are all over gun shows for $300 or so, and no one is clamoring for them.
