Were 375 Supermags made anywhere besides Monson?  All the ones I've ever seen are Monson guns,  I've never seen a Palmer or Norwich.  Anybody have one and care to share a pic?

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

I think technically, according to Mike Sheehan, all large frames were made at Palmer. I think prior to sometime in 1991 they were rollmarked Monson. I have a  45lc, and a 15-2 Gold Series that are marked Monson but most were marked Palmer and what I have read indicates they were a Palmer product. I think they were made before the bankruptcy that changed the name to Wesson Firearms. I would suspect that production of 375 's ended before that.  This is all supposition on my part. I think a bigger mystery is why there are no stainless 375's.

The .375 SuperMags were made in Palmer as all large frame guns were originally and stamped Monson.  I do recall making .375 SuperMags in Palmer as Wesson Firearms as well, but it would only be a handful.  There must be a stainless .375 out there somewhere I would think Ole Dog but you might be on to something there.  I am not 100% on that one.

I have seen the 375's marked both Monson and Palmer, I sold a Palmer marked one to Jaggman.  If the elusive 375 SS model is out there, I have never witnessed one.  That would be THE find of DW collecting.

A man cannot have too many SuperMags
