Hello from Southeast Texas.  I just purchased my first revolver last night on GB.  It is a pristine DW 15-2 with an 8" barrel.  As you can tell by my username I am a Glock Fanatic, I own several of them.  I ready to learn as much as I can about my new firearm.

Welcome to the Forum from Wisconsin.  I am sure you will be getting more wheel guns now that you bought a DW. DWAS is contagious and there is no cure.

dwf-welcomedwfgoodluck You have opened Pandora's Box. as you learn an incredible feeling will sweep across your body and Credit Card! Then you will learn of the mystic Supermags and the other calibers you never knew about. Soon you will be watching all the great ones on Gunbroker or Guns International and your wallet will open by itself and magic money will fly out as new models and extra grips and barrels show up! Welcome!

Be prepared to learn all there is. Dan Wessons are the Thinking Man's Revolver. If you want to point and shoot buy a Smith or Ruger. If you want the most accurate and durable production revolver made in America you need to learn all about it. Read "The Average Joe Tuneup" in Gunsmithing.

   When ejecting cases hold the gun tilted to the left and use your index and middle finger pushing the cylinder open through the frame. It tends to close while the extractor star is extended and scratch the sideplate.

Welcome from North Texas.   I find the occasion to acquire a new Dan Wesson in Houston from time-to-time.

LOL!! laughing

That is a fine clarification  of dwas right there! Once it takes hold, it takes great fortitude to hold back the desire to bring home yet another fine DW example week after week...may the force be with you. big-grin

BTW, any cool-pics of your new-to-you DW to show off?

Welcome to a wonderful forum and the ownership of the most awesome revolver I have ever shot. BE careful though. It can turn into dwas and you will start buying every DW you look at.  buy-now

Highly recommended road rage gun! Don't have to shoot it just showing it is enough! LOL

I haven't bought a Dan Wesson in 4 plus weeks. I did bid on a couple but my wife is keeping an eye on me so I didn't bid enough. She says no more guns until the gun room is built and she has the bedroom back. And the laundry room. And the guest bedroom. Fortunately, I am a master of underbidding 😏. Just getting a little excitement by bidding. My Acquisition Syndrome is far beyond Dan Wesson now.

Nice gat.  I like Glocks, but these revolvers are in a much higher class. 8)
