I have been on the forum for a month and have bought 5 DWs. Finally learned how to post pictures. Here you go!

Obviously I'm not doing
too well posting pictures. I may give up. Just imagine you saw all my DWs.

Hey, I saw them all, and I like what I see. Someone is trying to corner the fixed sight market, eh?
I have one of those "birds head" grips, I kind of like it on my 722 with the 2 1/2" barrel.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Hossman, I see them & they look great!
Are they all 357's?
I see that you've got three of the Model 14 varations covered in your collection, that's really cool. If I'm not mistaken, all you need is a 714 (stainless) to complete the set.
Gotta love
sometimes!

Yes, they are all .357s. 5 DWs in a month will wipe out a gun budget in a hurry. I have enjoyed the ride. I still don't know how to post a picture. And this picture has a whole bunch of garbage at the top. You guys may have seen the last picture from me. I'm not very good at a computer but my step son works on computers for a living. When he gets over the flu I'll take some lessons..... maybe.
There is so much that I don't know about DWs. I read a lot on the forum and it's a challenge to understand some of the words that I don't know. Every time someone has a problem with one, I check mine to see if I also have a problem. I'm along for the experience. Keep the good info coming. I still don't know which one of my guns has "birds head" grips.

There is a 714 on GB with about 10 days left. The bid is already up to $305. Anybody want to buy me a Christmas present a little early?

I think you did just fine, it looks great on my end.
That 714's been the rounds a few times. I haven't been paying attention to how high the bidding's gone previously, but I have a hunch that reserve is somewhere near $500. However, 714's don't exactly grow on trees, so I could see a collector paying that for it.

The picture did look good but the garbage at the top is a total embarrassment. As far as the 714 goes, I'm not experienced enough to know what it's worth. With my current collection would it be worth $500 to add to what I already have? SS is not going to look too good with all the blue but is it enough in the 14-2 family to warrant the change in color? I'm not a "collector" but I'm an accumulator of guns. I have about 30 and will pass them on to my son. Thoughts......... anyone?

I picked up a HS Sentinal II about a month ago and sent it to Mark for a reblue. Should be back in a week or two. Then I will need a D-11, right?

I have been watching the W-12 for some time. It always catches my eye. I need to hold out for a D-11? I assume the D-11 has fixed sights, right. If you run across what I need let me know. Do you think the W-12 is a good buy? If it is then why doesn't it sell..... maybe it's because it's ugly. Your thoughts???
I was sticking with fixed sights until I ran across the 15-2 PP locally and bought it. DWs are easier to resist on the internet than when you see them in person. I didn't have to pay shipping or transfer fees for the one I bought.
Thanks for your suggestions. I've been in the DW business for all of 2.5 months so I'm still learning.

Not sure why that W rolls over and over! It seems to be a good looking one just not sure I need another right now. I like the fixed sites too seem to flow the D-11 is fixed as well. 2 months you have it bad man!!! I found 2 HS at the same gun show a II & III brought them both home! Shown in pic below is a D-11!

I think the fixed barrel D11 is kinda cool, personally.
The only drawback is that you can't get the shroud off...so that means you can't get the crane off, either.
I'm not really sure why they did these.

Oh it will come off! I thought it was something some one had added and removed with Ouch leather strap and vice grips!!! A mistake I wont repeat!
