a very interesting custom conversion.....I know Dan Wesson revolvers can be very accurate and with the three caliber cylinders you really have a "one gun fits all" system....notice the extra side screw...is that for cylinder crane removal???

Very beautiful...and interesting. Nice!
If it were supposed to be easy, they'd have sent my little sister to do it.

Yes the side screw makes cylinder change simple and fast.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
