Well, I wanted to go and "look" at a wheel gun today, wanted to head to incubus' store, thought I would stop at Italian on my way in - and then that's where I blew the budget. I wanted a Ruger GP100 6" stainless BUT they had a decent Dan Wesson there with both a 10" and 8" barrel. The trigger was buttery smooth but I passed on it. Initially.
They also had a near new Colt Cadet .22 - it really doesn't look like it has been fired. A little small for my hands but my wife and kids will love it. They gave me a great deal on it - $269 with original hard case and manual, two mags. I picked up the GP100 as well and left.
Well, that Dan Wesson was on my mind, I mean, really on my mind. Paper punching .357 that looks like it's boss, butter trigger, bloody big wooden grips....my stomach was turning - I wanted this revolver. Called Italian back, they said come on back. So, I went back, paid a little extra on the difference, they had my transfer reference number for me before I left. Looking forward to pulling that big slob out and practically hitting the target with my barrel.
