Default Picked up a new Deer gun
Dan wesson 715. I saved my self some scratch by picking up a blem. Most of those released last week for sale are all blems.

So with out further BS. My 715, Dirty of course






This speck on the trigger is what considered the blem on this pistol. Albeit the finish needs a bit of work.

This is 24 rounds at about 30 ft. 158 grn 357.


So how is this trigger? this gun?

Both single and double action are better than my Smith 627 Pro Series. Which is the best of my revolvers. Even better than my old DW 22lr revolver. It is a fantastic gun. I have a few areas on the pistol I want to see if i can work on the finish. I think because of the blem the final finish on frame was just so so.

After 130 rounds it took about 45 min for the barrel to cool. It was toasty hot.....

Nice pick up.


Hey if you put a horn and lights on it you can kill all the deer you want.
