I purchased a new Dan Wesson Specialist  with the duty coat. Fit and finish looks great and so I proceeded to the house and cleaned it good and loaded it up with oil. Had 100 rounds laying loose so I loaded up some 10 round Chip McCormick's and some Wilson 47d mags and started shooting. It was raining and sleeting so I just shot my steel plates. No problems at all. Took a second to get use to the heinie sights but then no problem hitting out to 50 yards . Sorry my phone takes terrible pics. Looks like I have a winner. No FTF or FTE. Brass exited at 4oclock at about 5 feet away every time also. Overall I am extremely happy.

Welcome- sounds like a good grab.  Shoot more, shoot more often.

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.

Nice gun and welcome to the forum!  Be sure to clean and relube that beauty after each range trip during the 500 round break in period, and you will continue to have trouble free fun at your finger tips.  

BTW, good job on pics in the first post too. occasion

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
