Along those lines, CZ has been playing with putting the DW revolvers back into production:
http://cz-usa.com/product/dan-wesson-715/ I don't know how much I'd trust the date on their web site, I've seen those dates come and go for the past few years. But with modern manufacturing the Dan Wesson could be a really great revolver if built right.
And they can certainly make money if they put the barrels into production. I'd love to pick up some barrels to put on S&W actions.
