Hi! What kind of accuracy do you get out of your Dan Wessons. Are they like most of the k22 variations, or not as good. I like the looks of them, and always have. I think they are slowly growing on me. Imagine that, wanting another revolver!!!!!!! Thanks Mikey

I have one. It has the 2 1/2 and the 6 inch barrel with it.
It shoots good with the 6 inch, but cannot say the same for the 2 1/2 inch:D
I would say that it shoots as well as about any 22 revolver.
 
Don't have a Dan Wesson .22 anymore but they are as or more accurate than any other .22 revolver. And, can be easily made scarily accurate.

The barrel is held in tension the same as the .357's and 44's and that allows the barrel to be "tuned" if you desire by adjusting the torque. Secondly, the B/C gap can be adjusted by turning the barrel in and out, Factory standard was 6 thousandths but I found that 4 thousandths made a huge difference with my gun. Just use an automotive feeler gage and, if you want to get really tricky, use a torque wrench on the barrel. I used to have one of the older Dan Wesson barrel wrenches, the two piece, and used the lug with a socket and a torque wrench. Don't remember how tight I used to set it but it wasn't much.

Dan Wesson .22

I recently bought my third Dan Wesson which is a 10" .22. I have tried a wide range of ammo brands and have found that it shoots very well with all of them. I also have closed the cylinder gap to four thou' and noticed an improvement in group size. It is my favourite .22 at the present.
Down here in New Zealand we are not allowed to hunt with hand guns but I would love to take it out after rabbits.
 
Thanks for the replies on the Dan Wesson, I believe I'm going to go ahead and buy one this year. They look great, and they do have the name "Wesson", on them. As a side note, of the other .22 I have. The model 617, and an old k22, both with 6 inch bbls. are the most accurate. Thanks Mikey
