I was born in NYC, but have lived in the Seattle area for 20 years. Upon moving to Washington, I started buying guns. I now have several older Smith and Colt DA revolvers.
I bought a Dan Wesson M15 pack with 4 barrels from my local shop this June. I believe it was part on estate sale. I found this forum while searching for information on my new to me purchase.
This is my first DW and it shoots very well. I remember reading about these revolvers in the 1970's and wanting one but I could not afford one at the time. I shot mine for the first time with the 2.5" barrel and it handles both low power reloads and stouter magnum loads. This is a great forum with a lot of knowledgeable members offering good advice.

Welcome! I'm new here myself but am finding the site to be an extremely valuable resource.
I'm guessing from your username that you also own a 1970 Challenger...? If so, I'm also a huge MOPAR guy. Don't have any classics at present, but do own a modern generation SRT. I'm looking to eventually purchase a classic Challenger and/or 'Cuda.
Again, welcome!

welcome to the forum and I'm glad to hear from someone from the N.W. I live south of the border in Oregon City. I have no doubt you'll love your new to you pistol pac. You could have paid much less back in the 70's but sometimes life gets in the way

Scott, buy a 70-74 E body if you can, they are fun to drive and work on. If you get a non numbers matching car, they are cheaper and are ideal for a resto mod.
My B5 blue 70 Challenger RT (real U code) was a 50th birthday present to myself. It is a non matching numbers car, so when the 440 developed some worn valve guides and started smoking, I had to swap engines. I found a period correct 440 and my friend who is a racer rebuilt the engine. I also swapped the tired 727 for an aftermarket OD transmission. I can drive the car on the highway and more than keep up with traffic.

Yep, that's the exact date range and body style I'm interested in. You make a good point about purchasing a non-numbers matching car, not that I could afford a numbers matching car for what they command these days. I've seen them going for hundreds of thousands or more at Mecum and Barrett Jackson. It's hilarious to see some of these '70s muscle cars bringing higher prices than modern Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
I like the idea of doing a resto mod. I'd have it look all original on the exterior but would incorporate a modern suspension, fuel injected motor, transmission, and other modern luxuries. If you've ever seen Graveyard Carz, I like what they're able to do both with complete rebuilds to factory spec and mods that appear original but are modern underneath. They dropped a modern transmission, suspension, 392 Hemi, etc. into a '71 'Cuda, I believe it was. Turned out amazingly well.
