I recently found this forum and was happy to learn many others love the Dan Wesson revolvers.  I've been retired 8 years after 32 years as a police officer and police firearms instructor in Michigan.  I still keep my hand in as a firearms instructor for a local police academy.  I  enjoy hunting, shooting and reloading.  I own three Dan Wessons, a .22 with 4, 6 & 8 inch heavy vent barrels, a .357 Mag with  2, 4, 6 & 8 inch barrels, and a .445 Supermag with a 4, 6 & 10 inch barrels.   I bought the .357 Mag in the early 1970's and carried it as a duty gun as well as shooting competition and hunting deer with it here in Michigan.  The .22 was a gift from my son in Alaska.  The .445 Supermag has been my companion and "bear insurance" on three hunting trips to Alaska.  I recently purchased the 4 inch heavy vent barrel from CZ-Dan Wesson to make it a little more convenient to carry in the Alaskan bush.

Take care and keep your powder dry!

Welcome to DWF from a (refugee) Michigander. Does a mid-Michigan home puts you on either the winning or losing side of the Great Battle? You'll easily guess where I am on this smile.

You've got a pretty nice stack of Dan's there, I bought my first one at Dunhams Sporting Goods in Pontiac, and put a LOT of lead into the berm at Bald Mountain.

So now, here it comes

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.

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.
