I would like to give some people a word of caution. I went to a local Tulsa pawn shop to check out and purchase a Dan Wesson revolver they had for sale. I went in and was helped right away. So no problems there. I asked to look at the revolver and proceeded to examine the gun. I checked the bluing, the barrel, and the trigger. Everything is checking out great. Then I checked for play in the cylinder. I pulled the hammer back all the way and checked for movement and i hear a click. I thought maybe I didnt lock the hammer back somehow. I try it again. Click. Again. Click. The cylinder would never complete the full rotation to line up with the barrel. It was always about a 1/16 of an inch shy of locking the cylinder when cocked. I told the guy helping me that they should reconsider selling this gun as it is not safe. I dont think he really understood what I was talking about so I explained to him again what was wrong with the gun. After a minute of thinking about it, he took it to another employee and told him what I had said. He came back out without the gun waiting for me to look at another gun. After a few seconds more the second employee came back out, handed the guy back the gun and said... "That's normal... just the way they are made." He then put the gun back in the case for sale.
I shook my head, told him thanks, and hightailed it out of the store.
