In 1994, the Dan Wesson revolver became available in a conventional fixed barrel version, at slightly less cost. These fixed barrel guns were an attempt to compete with the big boys (S&W, Ruger, Tarus) for the vanilla gun buyer. These fixed barrel guns will not be reintroduced by the NYI company. These were marketed to the buyer who would shy away from a odd changeble barrell system in favor ov a fixed farmilar barrell.
