Dan Wesson 715 would be your better option. They're just like the real Dan Wesson revolvers (one of which I used to own).
The 715 is a completely different animal to the earlier "Dan Wesson" CO2 guns.

The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
But imho, the 715s don't have the same aesthetics as the Traditional Dan Wesson Co2 revolvers -- especially when comparing the 2.5" barrel derrivatives -- and as they weigh the same, and shoot remarkably similarly (but I do concede the 715s do have the edge), as a large chunk of any Co2 pistol ownership is, for me, down to the aforementioned aesthetics, I'll still continue to champion the trad nickel DS 2.5" over the 715, so nerrrr.
... but ultimately all the DS Co2 revolvers are great, so ya pays ya money, and ya makes ya choice. ...

The 715's have one big difference over the earlier models & that's the grip. It does look a bit odd but believe me it is amazingly comfortable to hold. They are solid with a rubbery texture to them, a far cry from the thin plastic ones on the earlier DW's. I owned a 6" 715 but sold it on as I found it too muzzle heavy. It was replaced with a 2.5" version that has a lovely balance. Just my take on them.

Hmmmm. Having held and used one of the 'real deals' back in the days when it was legal to do so, and having recently held a legally deactivated version of one of the 'real deals' too, I couldn't disagree with you more (but each to his own, as we all like what we like, which is why manufacturers provide we consumers with choices ).

Really? I used to own a Dan Wesson Pistol Pack, and had it for many years. On Sunday I had the chance to examine a DW 715 CO2 revolver and was very impressed with the weight and feel of it. Everything seemed very much like the revolver I had, right down to the "Pachmeyer" style grips.
