I bought a DW on GB a month ago as a gift to myself. I had a S&W 29 I used for plinking and deer hunting. After a while I traded it off and bought an Anaconda, which I still own.
On the way home from deer hunting I stopped into Cabelas and bought a near new Ruger Redhawk Hunter which I love, but needs some work in the cleanup dept.
I'm getting rid of the Anaconda.
I was reading the Garrot Ammo thread and he recommends Rugers & DW's. So I got to thinking why don't I buy a DW, since I've shot the other 3 (S&W, Ruger, and Colt). I like the look of my DW 44 Blued and it looks new and have all of the original packaging. It locks up nicely and is STOUT. Due to work, I haven't shot it yet, but will next week and looking forward to it.
I got an itch last week and saw a 445 Supermag - stainless and bought it. I should take possession next week.
I've learned a great deal from this website and want to thank the members for their input and contributions.
My only question is... Where can a guy find an 8" or 10" barrel and shroud for the 7445?
Thanks!

Sounds like you have a nice selection of 44's. Shoot me a PM and let me know what you're asking out of the Anaconda. As far as a barrel for the 7445 - you can always buy one new directly from Dan Wesson or you can keep an eye out in the used market but a 7445 barrel doesn't come up ofter and when they do they tend to be somewhat pricey.

Welcome to DWF, you are clearly in love with the Big Guns! Original 7445 B/A's are pretty scarce and will command a premium price, I doubt seriously that you will beat the Factory New cost on this item
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.

You all are Right - not posting pics is an injustice... I don't have my newer Anaconda nor 7445 yet. Coming next week and I'll post the new family. The Python is a new in the box 1970 and lil bro to the Anaconda. right now I'll post my entire wheel gun family and another of the 44's.
The pic's are a little grainy - I'll retake soon when I get my new kids into the collection.

Welcome and thanks for the pics. Southern MN heh? I have a lot of good memories from there. My Dad grew up outside of Wells just a few miles east of Mankato. He used to take me up there every weekend to see the farm. Shot a lot of 22's back then. Thanks for jogging my memory and again welcome.
