The Dan Wesson, like the Colt Trooper (Old Model) seems to have no "cachet" or mystique, but those who have them, keep them. I have both the Model 12 and the Model 15-barrels interchange, also grips, I think the lockwork is the same. Both are superbly accurate when I do my part.
The Dan Wesson revolver was actually designed by one Karl R. Lewis, who also designed the Colt Mark III action and the Browning Lever Rifle.
