Hi all.  I mostly collect C&R guns, but sometimes when other things catch my eye I pick it up. 

I'd learned about DW revolvers a few years ago and decided if I ever saw one for a good price, I would pick it up.  Fast forward to today, I finished my finals at school and decided to check out the local gun stores for anything interesting.

I found a DW 15, but at this point I'm still not exactly sure of the exact model. It looked like it was in fantastic condition, had a nice trigger in both DA and SA, good lock up on all chambers, and was $325, so I decided to go for it.  I have to wait for it to get shipped to my regular FFL back home in MO unfortunately. (I go to school in Southern IL)  I will definitely post pictures when it arrives.

 

This is the first wheel gun that I've owned myself, but I've handled a number of others.  Really looking forward to trying this out.

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.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.  I'm still waiting on the gun to arrive, but once it does I'm sure I'll have plenty of pictures (And questions) to post in the revolver forum!

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