Hello to all:

I recently have become a Dan Wesson fan.  I should have done this much much earlier (since I remember handling these great guns back in the 80's).  So much great literature back then that was placed by Shooting Times, Guns and Ammo, and the like.  Well, for a few years, I was basically "DanWessonless." That is, until earlier this year, I had enough cash to splurg on the following: 722, 41, two 741's with 6" barrel, and a 714. I'm looking eventually get a 7414, as I am a huge 41 mag fan since time immemorial. I consider the 414 Supermag the pentultimate version of the 41 mag round.  Cheers to all! C. smile

Sounds like you have the M41 strain of DWAS. It has no cure, only treatment for the symptoms. Welcome to the sanitarium. poke  

 

Enjoy the site and don't be bashful with the pics.

Welcome to the group!  Sound like you have a pretty nice collection going there.  I'll have to agree with you  - the 41's have a certain uniqueness about them that you can't resist.  The 7414/414 is definitely the cream of the crop - if you're lucky enough to stumble across one ya better jump on it fast!

Looks like you have put together a nice list of Dans!  What part of Virginia are you currently located in?

DW41fan,

 

You have a nice collection started there.  41 Cal is my favorite too since back before I had any Dans.  When you have a chance, and I can't beleive nobody did this yet we need some photos for our need to feed the dwas that afflicts us all.

 

Here goes..post-pics.

 

Seriously, great to have you and keep us updated with your dan info..

Pix posted.  Only 3 so far: 714, 722 (SAO), and 8" 41VH with Weaver scope.  Two more to follow.  Hopefully many more to get!
