From what Dean said he also used a knife. Maybe all their knives have either iron, silver or both? If they weren't prepared for someone to fight back, maybe just that Dean was creating ouchies with bullets, plus had a tiny chance of inflicting real death was enough reason to send him back for the moment. After, his having been in the realm of the Fae mean't he was "marked", "theirs". So they could let him go, take someone else, then grab him later after making special arrangements.
Incidentally, there is no reason to think reversing the summoning spell took away Dean's ability to see fairies. Nor is there reason to believe that he is no longer marked, or no longer "belongs" to the Fae in whatever sense he did before they were dismissed. I wonder if we will see consequences of this in future episodes.

not just neglecting to offer Sam a brotherly beer, but deciding not to.
Coulda sworn Dean offered Sam a beer, and Sam waved it off.
I missed that whole thing. I could see Dean changing his mind about giving this guy who isn't his brother a beer.

I just checked the DVR. Dean pulled out two beers, wordlessly offered one to Sam who waved it off, and Dean dropped it back into the cooler. I didn't notice any other signs of blocking the cooler away by stepping on it or otherwise. But Dean definitely extended the beer to Sam.
I just realized that "a dropout" is not in fact an lj username. They had seemed to be the recipient of a lot of fic, and wondered why they were so popular.
It wasn't until this round of Secret Angels that I realised aesc's AU masterpiece wasn't Below Skyscrapers For A Dropout. Oops.
I feel better, thanks for that.
How can a recipient drop out of receiving a finished fic? Are there lj users closing their accounts left and right?
I think everyone is supposed to write too. So if you drop out of writing, you don't officially receive a story.
How can a recipient drop out of receiving a finished fic?
If a writer doesn't complete a fic for the exchange, a lot of comms are taking to dropping their name as a fic recipient.
Okay, now the "secret angels" part makes more sense.
