Long-time shooter (from about 1960) focusing on milsurp rifles and handguns.  Shot some competition back east (small-bore and pistol) but now mostly handguns for pleasure (and self defense).

I'm about to get my first "Dan Wesson" in the form of a High Standard .357 Sentinal, Mark II.  I saw it in the case of a local gun store, did some research and now just waiting for the WA state approval process.

I know zip about Dan Wessons, except they are excellent handguns, and am anxious to learn more.  I'll probably have a bunch of basic questions, but that's the only way to learn.

Looking forward to becoming a "regular."

Welcome to the Forum from Wisconsin.  You will really like your new Dan, a very accurate revolver that is well made.  It will not be your last acquisition that is for sure.

Welcome to the Forum!

I predict that you will be very happy with your DW. As my buddy Ole Dog likes to say: "Dan Wessons are the thinking man's revolver"

You do have to pay attention to setting the cylinder/barrel gap, and to check it regularly. If you do you will be rewarded with unexpected accuracy and fun shooting.

Enjoy!
