The Dan Wesson wheel guns have removable barrels.Is this a fixed barrel or removable?
There were some made with fixed barrels - not many and they are rare.The Dan Wesson wheel guns have removable barrels.
I was told the original owner had it "head spaced". I am presuming based on that comment the barrel is removable or was removed for work. The cylinder has less than 0.005" gap at the barrel and it locks up tight.Is this a fixed barrel or removable?

Is there a way to definitively tell if the barrel is is removable?

I'd say they are by no means infirior. if anything they are over built. The only thing that some colt/smith/ruger guys can't get over is the release being forward of the cylinder, but it actually makes more sense imo..you can do faster reloads when you get used to it. And you can still get them at sometimes half the price of an equally equipped S&W.Also, Dan Wesson prices are still reasonable for a revolver that many consider superior to the S&W. (did I really just say that???!!)
