Our Assessment: The Dan Wesson SuperMag in .375 with an 8″ barrel and vent rib is a striking example of a purpose-built revolver designed for high-powered handgun performance. Unlike many large-frame revolvers of its era, this model does not feature an underlug beneath the barrel, giving it a more balanced, streamlined profile while still retaining enough front-end weight to help manage recoil. The vent rib along the top of the barrel adds visual appeal. The revolver comes equipped with fully adjustable target sights and a contoured wood grip that provides a secure, comfortable hold for extended shooting sessions.
Chambered in .375 SuperMag, this revolver fires a high-velocity cartridge developed in the 1980s as part of Dan Wesson’s effort to push revolver ballistics beyond traditional magnums. The .375 SuperMag typically launches 220 grain bullets at impressive speeds, producing energy levels suitable for handgun hunting or long-range target work. Though the cartridge itself was short-lived and never gained widespread commercial support, it remains an interesting footnote in magnum revolver history. In the hands of experienced shooters, the .375 SuperMag offered excellent flat-shooting characteristics and hard-hitting terminal performance, wrapped in a revolver platform known for its modular barrel system and precision craftsmanship.
