Anyone know much about what is going on with the Dan Wesson revival over at CZ? I know they started making the model 715 .357 last year, and it seems to have been well received by those who have shot it.
Probably like a lot of people I was hoping that the .357 would be followed by a .44 mag. The DW is a big gun, and it's always made more sense to me in the larger heavier recoiling calibers.
I also noticed that even though one of the attractions of the DW has always been the ability to easily switch barrels, that the .357 came with only a 6" barrel, not the "pistol pack" with three different lengths like DW was famous for.
I realize it's hard to revive a brand like that, and that tastes in 2015 are not the same as they were in Dan Wesson's heyday. DW had a lot of proprietary cartridges, I would not expect those to make a comeback, but the .44 mag seems like a no-brainer if they are actually moving forward, and not just producing a one-off gun for bragging rights.
Your thoughts?
