Hello,

New member here.  Recently picked a low shot count (maybe 6 rounds)  DW 15-2 357 blued.  Has all documentation, brochures, unused tools , etc.and even unused warranty card.  From sitting, the gun needs some cleanup, but I should be able to perform this with ease.  Extremely tight lockup, and I am sure it will shoot with DW goodness.  This will become a CCW and target queen.  Wife just sent in for her CCW today, so this can double as both of ours. Being able to throw 357 magnum or 38's is nice compliment to an already versatile barrel/grip swapping conglomerate.

For background……my beautiful wife has hunted all her life, I have trap/target shot all mine.  For a proposal, I bought her a Browning Gold Hunter in marsh grass(her favorite camo). She said yes. (For the ladies, yes, she got a ring too.  I had her create one to hold the diamond I bought her.)  Back to the proposal, she turned around, dropped her hair down (5'11" with hair past her butt).  Held the browning with one hand and with her other, produced her 15 year old trusty Premier in the other.  Snapped the picture.  Sent the picture to her dad and said "Guess what!".

Back to the DW:

- I have a EWK 2 1/2", flash hider and optic site on the way, along with a nice Hogue grip from elsewhere. 

- I would like to add a EWK 6" or 8" when Eric has them available, maybe even a 4" and part with the original.  I prefer the slabsides.

 

Might put up the original 4" assembly and paperwork to trade for the slabside assemblies I desire.

 

Anyways, love the sight and can't wait to collect more DWs.  I will be absorbing the information on this site.

-Jeramie

I know you will want pictures, as post-pics.  So I will work on that.

welcome and congrats on the new acquisition.  Pretty cool having a wife that shoots also.  I predict a second Dan in your immediate future, either that or you won't get to shoot the one you've got very often.  laugh

Welcome to DWF! Sounds like you have a great wife (how can you not love a woman who has a "favorite camo"?).

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.

Son of a @$@#$#$%, how did I miss that. (I just assembled and tossed in the safe) Hopefully get some time to try it out.

As to the better half, not sure yet. Still shopping around for her.

Thanks again.
