How Does Barrel Length Change Velocity

I love that Dan Wesson Pistol Pack. As best as I can tell, they don’t manufacture this any more, or at least, I can’t find it. If readers know better, weigh in with comments. CZ currently owns Dan Wesson.
This is another great presentation by Paul.

My cousin and I were in a gun store in Redding, CA called Jones Fort a while back. It’s probably the best gun store I’ve ever been in. We were talking to a very knowledgeable lady behind the counter and after a while she pulled out a Dan Wesson Pistol Pack from under the counter. It was hers, not the store’s. It was every bit as beautiful as Paul’s is. She very kindly let my cousin and I handle that beautiful revolver.
We found out later the store is a family business owned by she and her brother.

I had one of the Dan Wesson revolvers. It was suffering from light strikes and did not ignite every bullet. Sold it. Nice gun but it did have issues I did not expect.

I learned something new and very cool from this vid.

Never had the whole pistol pack.
In the 90’s I had a DW Model 15 with a 6″ vent rib full under lug shroud, a 4″ std shroud, an 8″ vent rib shroud wearing a Burris 1X4 scope and another 8″ vent rib full under lug shroud. I had a 4″, 6″, & 8″ barrel.
Understand that the accuracy of the DW came from the tensioning of the barrel inside the shroud and the front cylinder lock.
The finish was so so, and after I played with the scoped shroud a few years shooting distance, I swapped it off.
Recently I realized the prices were climbing and I obtained a mint DW Model 15 with an 8″ & 4″ barrel, both full underlug vent rib shrouds.
The bluing is better than almost any I’ve ever seen, Colt, Browning, etc.
CZ was producing the DW 715 (a stainless steel version) but alas, no more.
Parts are found on GunBroker and ebay and are scarce.
I love the pistol, but for carry I prefer to not abuse the finish, so it’s either a S&W 66 4″ or a Security Six 6″.

A buddy of mine had one of those Dan Wesson pistol packs. I don’t know what his kids did with it after he passed from Gulf War Syndrome.
