Good Evening Guys,
I had a few questions and sent them to Keith at DW. Below are the question and answers (some good and some bad):
A: I can engrave emblems if you provide them in a Jpeg format. Lettering is no problem either
A: Is the 38P the 38+P? If so no we do not provide barrel assemblies for that model and I can not custom make one either.
A: I can ream your cylinder to use the 327 I have done it for other customers as long as you have a 32 H&R and not a 32-20. I could also fit a cylinder but this is very expensive
A: I am sorry but I am not taking custom revolver orders. I do not have the time anymore.
I normally send Keith an email about every 6 months asking if he will do a custom order. I think if we're ever going to get a custom order is if we could get enough interest here for 10 or so guns. Probably would all need to be the same frame size...
If anyone is interested in this idea just respond back to the post!

I am probably not up for a custom revolver, but a DWF Custom Shroud is a MUST DO. I think if we can develop a DWF Logo, and do something with the logo and members screen name it would be awesome.
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.

Sounds like Keith is currently plenty busy with 1911's & doesn't want to mess with revolvers.
I'd go either way on the custom revolver idea. If there's enough interest among the rest of our members, then I'll get in on it & support the idea. Any caliber is fine, as long as it goes BANG.
The DWF member's custom shroud idea sounds pretty cool...cheaper & easier too, for all concerned.

A custom shroud sounds great,( makes me wish I had a cooler sounding screen name) although with the recent jump in prices I would hate to see what a custom one would run. If we do it though I will have to pony up. As far as a custom revolver gos it sounds awesome, but I am afraid they would be out of my rent district. However if we do get to the point of having them made I certanly will try and find a way to fund it.
Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

I don't think now is the time to approach Keith with the prospect of a revolver custom order. I know they release several new 1911 models this year and I'm sure they are busy. If I'm not mistaken they only produce around 3000 units a year now.
I think if we want to do the custom revolver deal we need to shot for approaching him in 6 to 9 months once we have firm commitments from members. I think we would need 10 confirmed to make it worth their time. That's just my opinion on that.
As for the custom DWF shroud I think that sounds like a great idea! We need a logo that's for sure!
I'll try to come up with a logo here in the next few weeks that we might be able to use. Again if anyone of our members has a graphics background and would like to help please let me know.
Thanks, Jody

Custom DW revolver, I'm in. Don't know how I would pay for it but I'd figure that out somehow. May I suggest the large frame 360 DW. That's one I need for the collection.
Custom shroud, cool!! Get the particulars figured out and let us know what options there are.

hey lets think about working on shrouds for all the calibers, DWF members prepaid group orders with unique logo and calibers to be voted on by members. if the factory will take orders, in lots of ten or twenty, we can shoot foe a speciific caliber, length,shroud styleand dated for that year each year. this could snowball. i'm in!
