Title: Need some help on a Dan Wesson .357
Post by: MLCoug on January 14, 2009, 08:07:05 PM: I don't know jack about pistols except that I want one. I have an opportunity to purchase a .357 Dan Wesson C16 model. I know that the barrel has three different lengths and the one I'm looking at is the longest. What's a good/fair price for this gun? It's in great shape, has a case and an extra pair of grips. Any help on what the value is would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you are looking at the Stainless 357 at the Everett pawn shop pass on it it has a cracked frame.

Here is a picture of my nicest one, it is the only one made in 460 Supermag
