That is good to know!!

I still have an original DW 715 and it is dead on. They are probably the most accurate revolver due to the fact that the barrel is under tension at both ends!!!

I like 'em. Just a bit pricey IMHO.

I'm about 45 minutes away from that shop and my shooting buddy just bought a DW Valor (black) from there last month. As nice as the new DW revolvers look, they just don't seem that special to command the asking price IMHO.

Far out! My very first gun purchase was a DW revolver about 35 years ago.

I'm sure they are quality revolvers, but that's more than I'm gonna spend on a wheelgun

Yes, it is too much money,on the other hand, MSRP on a Taurus Tracker is $665. The real value in all of this is that they might just get back into the SuperMag business at some point in time. These come out of Norwich, NY, same as the 1911's.

I handled one briefly a couple weeks ago. Considering what S&W is asking for theirs, a little over a grand for a DW sounds quite reasonable.

They look a lot like a Smith and ... oh yeah... Wesson.

They certainly look nice, but at 10 pounds, might make a better boat anchor or paperweight.
