Hello to all. Glad to have found this site, I'm a locomotive driver in Victoria and enjoy shooting. Have wanted a DW pistol since l can remember thou they are few and far between in Australia.
Attended a gun show this weekend and stumbled upon a mint 715 fixed 6"barrel for $450. What a bargain. Anyway its nice to be a part of a family. Cheers all. Will post pics when l have her.

We got an Australian Brotherhood going on!
Very Cool!
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.

Thanks everyone for the friendly welcome. l most certainly will post some pics as soon as l take possession, you see here in Australia one has to submit paper work and then have it endorsed by the club that you are a member with, then all said paper work is sent to the governing body (Licencing and weapons division) for approval to then receive a permit in the mail called a Permit To Acquire which then has to be taken to a bank for a payment activation $47.50. Take permit to transferring dealer which will charge anywhere from $25 to $50 to put pistol through their books prior to pick up.
All said and done this can all take up to a month to happen. Getting itchy feet now.

It's great to see all of our Aussie DW brothers finding us!
I don't say this to make you feel bad or gloat, but to remind myself how lucky I am. In Texas, the last time I purchased a handgun (excluding the financial transaction) I was done filling out the paperwork, presenting my ID and having the dealer run the check in about 5 minutes. From time to time, I just need to remind myself..........................

if you find one...what's your plan?

Same here in Utah. I feel very fortunate that I don't have to wait like this. 5 minutes and I'm outta there!

We in the US have it easy and don't really appreciate it until we read what others in foreign lands have to put up with.
