"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Is Dan Wesson still selling revolvers?

I remember seeing those, they were handsome guns
Dan Wesson is owned by cz USA now.

There was talk of them bringing back the revolver line.

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

I love my Dan Wesson. I posted a pic in the picture thread. It is a 6" and shoots very well. The trigger is fantastic.

Them's damn good wheelguns. [thumbsup] [clap] Hopefully they will be more available under the new ownership. Don't see good revolvers like that going the way of the buggy whip any time soon. [popcorn]

That grip would probably fit my hand well. I have a big paw and a normal 1911 is tiny in my hand.

I can't remember the last time I shot mine.

The Para Ordnance 1911s were double stack.  People were ok with them, unless you mean double as in two 1911 mags?

Yeah...that looked like two separate mags siamesed together.

I realize pics can be deceiving, but that grip looked huge to me.

He's going to sell a few dozen.

and those will rarely be shot. 

It's a gimmick.  Zero usability. 

If you watch the video, the magazine is out at one point, it is two mags siamesed. 

I've never seen an Italian Bubba until now.

Its obviously an awkward and highly impractical weapon, but it is an interesting bit if design and would be a fun toy to play with.

Exactly, and given the fact they won't publish a price, my guess is that they don't know what it will cost to produce or that it's so high they don't want to automatically push people away.

Their only market is the US as well, excluding a few buyers like the house of Saud and some random super-rich around the world.

A few dozen - - 3-4 dozen.
