Hi I'm a newbie just got my first DW I've been looking for something just right for Silhouette competition when I saw this 10" with the rams I was hooked.

From your site I think I've got a model 6722-VH10. Being made in Palmer 1992-95 can anyone tell anymore about it. Serial # 22 200071X. How many were made? Thanks for any info.

That is an IHMSA Silhouette revolver. They came in 10" barrel versions, either Vented or Vent Heavy like yours, some in blue, some stainless.
Despite it looking like, and being listed as, a double action revolver, these special silhouette versions operate single-action only. It is identical to the Model 15 frame, except for this detail.
Some of the earlier ones, made in Monson, had a special "ETG" prefix on the serial number, the letters standing for Elgin T. Gates, the father of handgun metallic silhouette.
They are good guns, pretty accurate, but with that long, heavy barrel, a bit difficult to shoot from the offhand position. They were designed for shooting from the creedmore position.
