Hello from McKinney, TX!

 

I've wanted a Dan Wesson revolver since I first saw an ad for one (around 1978 or so.)  I don't really know why I never got one, even a .357.  I'm a big .41 Magnum fan and when they introduced it in the DW I should have jumped on one... but I never did... and now here I am searching, largely in vain, for a .41 Dan Wesson.  (I wasted my time pursuing Rugers in one form or another, only to be disappointed every time...)

 

So, here I am, drooling over all the DW porn posted here... until I can find my own.

welcome  Good luck on your search for a 41.  Of course along the way you can pick up say a 22, a 715, a 740, a 44.  You get the idea dwas.

I'll probably wind up with a .357 Pac eventually, as well, but I need a big .41 to go with my Marlin 1894 in .41... something that can take the same loads.

 

.44?  What's a .44?  screwy

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

That's a good idea, but sometimes ammo for pistols don't work that well with rifles. The barrel twist rate and length of the barrel make a difference with their accuracy. You might get it to work fine. This is a common problem with some guys and their .44 pistols and rifles.

No, I know that's true.  But it's a recurring dream I have...  I have some 250grn Cast Performance bullets I would love to find some common ground on.

Well... it's not a .41 but I pick my .357 DW up tonight at my FFL!!!  It's a 15 with a 4" and 6" vented barrel set.

 

Pictures at eleven...
