A losing Buy, Problems with this S&W Snub .38 spl

[M29since14]

Though I am no Dan Wesson fan, I'll hazard the guess anyhow that a .357 Magnum DW in decent condition will serve you well and be ten-times the weapon that poor thing will ever be, regardless of how skillful the repair. I think your gunsmith friend is doing you a huge favor. I'd be sure to thank him - profusely.

I would take the $250 and go looking for a different gun. Let him fix the problems on his own time.

I agree totally!!!

And with this, too!

This gun is dangerous to the person firing it.

Let your gunsmith play with it. For $250 you can literally buy a used gun that works.

Welcome to the Forum.

Where are you located?

Hollow point.

That looks like a VERY nice revolver. I think you are on track now! Give us a range report when you are able to shoot it. And welcome.

You got a real Dan Wesson, and those have a reputation for quality and durability.

You mentioned the price of firearms where you live; are there very strict laws about possession (and carry, if that is even possible)?

Oh, the Dan Wesson Model 14-2. If it is anything like the Model 15-2's that I have had, you will find the double action pull to be short, but a bit heavy, the single action pull to be extremely crisp, and accuracy beyond most people's capabilities. The difference between the 14-2 and 15-2 are the sights. The 14-2 has fixed sights, the 15-2 has a fully adjustable rear sight and the front sight is taller to match the taller rear sight.

That DW looks great! Sorry you lost $350 on the snubbie, but if you REALLY want to lose money, get into used vehicles!

Or new vehicles, which lose 15-20% of their initial sales price the moment they are driven off the dealer's lot.

That's a good looking DW. Great! As someone said, now you're really off and running. I can sense your excitement. I'll bet most of us here have walked out of the gunshop, gotten in the car, and sat there happily admiring a new acquisition. I know I have. Congratulations on your new sixgun!
