Hi,

I'm am a new arrival here to the pistol crowd and wanted to say hi.

Airplanes are not flying so there is nothing for me to fix.

A&P Mechanic/Electronics Technician.

Anyway I purchased a .357 Magnum because I wanted one and it turned out to be a Dan Wesson 15-2 blue with two barrels an 8 VH and a 4 HV. I'm sometimes prone to make snap decisions. When i told my friends what i'd done and they saw what I got they wanted one also. Then I did some more research and found this site. lots of  good information here. 

Anyway this old girl has been run pretty hard the 8 VH barrel had a scope on it at some point in its hard life and the cylinder shows wear but it shoot nice. 

I liked it so much that I recently purchaced a 15-2 pistol pack minus the 8V barrel.

Guess that makes me a collector.

Pic's coming if you want? Ok finally got some pix's added. I've not posted  pictures before, hope they are OK.

PICTURES IF WE WANT??? DUH!

Would your SW Wisconsin be around the Wisconsin Dells? Many years ago when we lived in Iowa we vacationed in the Dells area.

Welcome to DWF!

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 to the madness!  Another member here is a pilot, so it only makes sense to have a mechanic as well....

Happy New Year,

Ron
