Howdy, this isn't my first post but ill go ahead and post here for the heck of it. Really nice forum by the way.
I currently only own one Dan Wesson, its a model 744 VH with a 10in barrel and a 6in barrel. The gun was handed down to me by my grandpa who bought it new a long time ago. The only thing that is missing is the wood grip, supposedly the dog got ahold of it.
Not much else to say really, I'm a big Smith and Wesson revolver fan and I'm really liking the Dan so far. I shoot Glocks almost exclusively in the semi auto world and I roll all my own ammo. I will include a picture of the DW.

Thanks for the intro, and Welcome to DWF. A 10" 744 is a LOT of gun!
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.

Hi Sam, welcome to the Forum. You are going to love shooting that bad boy especially if you load your own. Thanks for sharing the pic.

Welcome to the DWF, I also have a 10" 44 Mag, but mine is blued and it is a blast to shoot. I have sold some nice Smith and Wesson revolvers so I could get more DW revolvers.

to the 
Sam. A Dan is a great gun, even greater when passed to you by your grandfather. Glad you joined us here.

Thanks all, and to snake-eye most of my magnum loads are loaded with a coated hard cast (Bayou Bullets) 240gr Keith type wadcutter on top of 24.5 grains of Alliant 300-MP. Out of the 10 in barrel they chrono around 1460ish FPS and 1330 FPS out of the 6in barrel. 44 specials are loaded with a 180gr hard cast bullet over 7.0 grains of Hodgdon HS-6 and they come in around 750 FPS.
