Well! My birthday was 12/27. I had ordered two DW SM pistols. They just happen to come in on my B.D.  These pistols were rated as 99%. They do not appear to have been shot before. No dings, scratches or signs of wear. I talked with a nice guy on GB who was selling a fellows 1500 gun collection. These two make a nice set they are identical except for the caliber. One is the 357 SM and the other is a 375 SM. The fellow was able to find a 375 SM Redding die too. I also bought a 100 rounds of .445 SM fully loaded cartridges from him.  I picked them up at the gun store and took them to L.B. to have a look at. L.B. said, "Sweet." They don't get much nicer than these. The SS barrels have a little cosmoline like grease on the threads. Here are a few pics. smile

Great buy -- but.... the best part is that custom engineered DW factory wrench mod laugh...  Looks like a plastic wrench insert pressed over a factory steel wrench.

Happy Birthday!  Two beautiful guns!  I love my 357 SM!  I have a 375 but have never shot it... that needs to change this year.

Nice catch, those both look great!!occasion

The .375 is a really fun round to shoot, pretty much my favorite of all my DW's. Not as harsh as the .445 & more grunt than the .357 SM.

BTW, your .357SM's s/n is almost 800 lower than mine.laugh Just in case you needed any "Trivial Pursuit" type of useless knowledge for today.rofl

Congrats on that scoredwas

 

I hope to be joining the ranks of SuperMag owners very shortly if all goes to plan. 

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Thanks for bringing this back up, IHMSA. I looked at this shot before, but failed to come back & post my thoughts. I think that this pic is really over the top...even magazine worthy stuff, if I were an editor.worship

Nicely done Gary, it looks fantastic.drool
