Hello All

 

I am originally from a small island in the English Channel between the south coast of England and France. Those of you that are old enough to remember the Beatles song, when I'm 64, may even have heard of it. Anyway, I moved to Detroit in 95 and since then I have become interested in all manner of firearms but particularly ex military and antique guns. Coming from the UK as I did, the gun laws are so prohibitive that it is almost impossible to collect guns of any kind. My ownership previously was limited to ex service rifles, being a member of the Sea Scouts and .22 rifle used at the rifle club only. I recently discovered a Dan Wesson 15 .357 6" barrel late of Monson, Mass 1979 and I have to say it's one of the best revolvers I have ever fired. I am now looking for others!

Ahh, yes, dwas strikes again. It is difficult to own just one Dan Wesson. Welcome to the club!

Welcome to the dwf from Pennsylvania!  Is the Isle of Wight considered one of the 'Channel Islands' like Jersey and Gurnsey?

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Welcome aboard.

Those of us who know waaaay too much history know you come from some famous and sometimes unfogiving seas . The Solent, the Neeles, Portsmouth and Spithead to name a few. One of the homes to the Channel Fleet that kept Boney at bay.

Being late of the greater Detroit area, enjoy your Dan and keep it close!  wow LOL

To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:

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