Greetings

Here is my introduction as a new Dan Wesson owner. As a life long gun owner, in limited experience and use of hunting rifles, the times moved me to purchase a Glock 43 for concealed carry. A new mega in door range ( Reload ) opened in my town of Tarpon Springs, Fl. and a visit to fire the new Glock with my wife shooting my childhood 22 semi auto led to a membership at the range. This led to a 22 cal target S/W Victory for the wife. A century AK47 was added to the mix ( I can't say enough about this accurate, easy to own rifle ) and my desire for a target pistol sent me on a search for a S/W 586 6" in blue. On a lark I attended a local gun show hoping to find the 586 of my dreams and there in the last booth we viewed was the 357 Dan Wesson, my jaw dropped.  Kept in a safe for the last 20 years the dealer said, it was flawless. I negotiated the price to $540 out the door with the case. I went straight to the range and it's a dream in 38 special, I couldn't be more satisfied with my Dan Wesson. In searching the web I am uncertain to it's history. Manufactured in Monson Mass, serial # 115850, no prefix lettering for the ribbed barrel and grips like none I have found. I feel bad firing this pristine example but regardless

of value it will be used and well cared for in it's new home. I look forward to following this site and appreciate the offered resources and information provided.
