My web name is James from Jersey. I`am 60 and have been shooting for about 36 years. About 99% of my hunting is done with handguns and have used my m744 a number of times to take game. The Dan Wesson is the kind of gun that grows on you. The longer you own one the more you enjoy them.

Welcome  to the forum.  You won't find a nicer group of guys to hang out with and they are very helpful.  Some have a since of humor so watch out for them.  I'm 70, glad to see some "mature" guys her to keep me company.  I've been shooting for about 60 years but just bought my first Dan in January.  Love that thing.

Welcome to the forum, I guess that we all need to tell the truth, I joined the Army in 1960 and have been shooting ever sense. My DW is 32 years old, still in great shape and I love it more today than when I first got it. I have no idea how many rounds have gone through the thing over the last 32 years, I can only say a bunch.

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.

I lived in Jersey City most of my life and when my mom got sick I had to move us to Kearny, NJ thats a few miles outside of Jersey City. I have to say that you guys sound like a great bunch of people. As soon as I figure out how to post some pictures I`ll get them online. Thanks for the great welcome.........

Welcome James. Those are some fine pics on your other threads. You've taken some significant game with the revolvers in your collection. 

Glad to have you on the dwf-sign.
