Notes: This is a well-made Dan Wesson revolver with a blued finish and chambered for .357 Magnum/.38 Special. The "VH" part of the nomenclature stands for Ventilated Heavy; the weapon has a heavy barrel with a ventilated sighting rib and a barrel weight. The weapon has a number of interchangeable barrels of varying lengths, which can be removed and replaced at will (a Dan Wesson signature feature); the length in inches is indicated by the number after the "VH". The weapon also comes in a stainless steel finish, known as the Model 715-VH.

Notes: This is basically the same as the Model 15-VH, without the barrel weighting. This makes the revolver slightly smaller and a bit lighter in weight.

Notes: Similar in design to the Model 15-VH, the Model 22-VH fires .22 Long Rifle ammunition, and has a blued finish with a heavy barrel with a ventilated sighting rib. It has interchangeable barrels like the Model 15-VH, and a stainless steel version known as the Model 722-VH.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Model 22-VH-10 does not exist.

Notes: This is the same idea as the Model 15-V, being a Model 22-VH without the weighted barrel, making it lighter and slightly less bulky.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Model 22-V10 does not exist.

Notes: One of Dan Wesson’s heaviest handguns, the Model 44-VH is designed to fire the powerful .44 Magnum cartridge. Like the VH revolvers, it has barrel weighting, a ventilated sighting rib, and comes in blued or stainless steel finishes.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Model 44-VH10 does not exist.

Notes: The Hunter Pack II is, as the name suggests, intended to be a pack gun for hunters, able to be used for hunting as well as self-defense against animals. It is a large revolver with a long barrel, and is a powerful handgun with excellent range.

Twilight 2000 Notes: This weapon does not exist.

Notes: This heavy revolver was designed to fire the SuperMag cartridges designed by Elgin Gates: .357 Maximum (also known as .357 SuperMag) and .445 SuperMag. They are large, heavy revolvers, with the long barrels necessary to properly use the powerful rounds. The have a ventilated barrel rib, adjustable trigger stop, micrometer adjustable rear sights, and internal and external safeties. They are built from heavy stainless steel and have walnut, rubber, or Pachmayr grips. They are definitely a handful.

Dan Wesson’s original company went out of business in 1995, mostly due to competition from cheaper revolvers by competitors (the real-world price of Dan Wesson revolvers has always been rather high), and an ill-conceived restructuring of the company. New York International Corporation took over the Dan Wesson name, formed a new Dan Wesson Firearms, and sold Dan Wesson’s design until the early 2000s, but this new venture eventually also failed. In 2005, CZ-USA bought Dan Wesson Firearms and in 2006 began to produce the SuperMag, Hunter Pack, and Pistol Pack series again, with the designs basically unchanged from the originals.

Twilight 2000 notes: Of course, CZ-USA does not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline, and neither do their versions of Dan Wesson’s revolvers. In addition, the New York International Corporation buyout of Dan Wesson Firearms also never took place.
