A long time ago I posted a question if I should shoot my 200th Anniversary of the Constitution DW 44 mag. Well I did it. I shot it. And what a great time. And above all what an incredible shooter it turned out to be. I acquired a 6 inch VH BA for it awhile back and installed it on the gun. It was the first time a round had ever been chambered in this gun. After a sight adjustment this beauty was dead on every time. And I exploded 6 pumpkins with it at 50 yards from left to right. What a hoot that was. This baby was made to shoot and shoots incredibly well she does. And she cleaned up beautifully. I know the value may have plummeted. But they are as much a delight to shoot as look at. Besides, they are several on line for sale. So if you want an unfired unhandled DW 44 there they are. Besides, if CZ/DW were to start making 44's again how much do you think they would charge? Some may think I did a bad thing, but I never fell in love with one gun after shooting it like I did this one. And this superbly smooth and over built beautifully blued and enhanced baby ain't never leaving me.

Congrats Dantanna. You did exactly what I would have done!

A picture of my gun is in the 2013 calender. It is shown quite a bit on this forum.

Great job, Dan's are built to shoot. What no video! Exploding pumpkins are cool!

Whew! At first, I thought this thread was gonna be telling about having sold the gun.
That's cool to hear it's a great shooter!

I know it took awhile. But i looked and looked for a Factory rear sight assembly to put on it and it took this long to get one. The one that came on the gun is Gold Plated and I could not get a good sight picture with all that gold glittering back in my eyes. But now she is just perfect.

Glad you shot it. All mine get shot, including the rare ones, like the Palmer .414 SuperMag.

I don't know if I could've resisted the temptation either. Glad you had fun with it!
