Hello…I have been browsing around here for a while & thought it was time to say hi…I am new to handguns, but have been wanting to get one for some time now & have recently discovered GunBroker.com & naturally instead of buying 1, I  bought 2…lol…haven't recieved either yet they are on their way…the 1st is an old High Standard Sentinel R 101 9 shot .22...some pics here:

https://www.danwessonforum.com/?page_id=3/other-brands/anyone-have-a-high-standard/page-2/

…the 2nd is a DW 15 .357 Mag…it is somewhat scuffed up (just like me) but I hope will be a good shooter…I am posting some pics…as I said I am  new to handguns but have been learning a bit from browsing DWF & elsewhere, this looks like a good place to hang out!…

Welcome to the forum.  Enjoy the new guns (if you can get out of your house with all the snow.)

I'm an "oldude" too, welcome to DWF. That two piece barrel tool is an old timer too (the other one is a later addition). Thanks for joining up and posting pictures.

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.

Welcome aboard!

I watched that 15-2 go a few rounds on GB, it looks like it should be a nice one. Thanks for showing that & your High Standard off.Laugh

Welcometo the madness we call the DWF Sign. This place is full of great guys and a cool place to hang out. Enjoy the site.

Welcome to the forum !!! I too have an old 9 shot Sentinel--I bet it has a million rounds through it.  My dad bought it when he was 15, I grew up shooting it, and my kids shoot it.

I am in the same boat though have been shooting handguns for 40 years. Recently acquired a NIB 741-V. Can't wait to get to the range.
