Hello,
I hope this thread finds everyone in good spirits and health and staying warm, dry, cool, wet, or whatever your preference is. There is about a foot or two of snow in my front yard and I have cabin fever. So I did the natural thing and purchased a gun. LOL Yep I'm rather impulsive and by sheer luck, I purchased a Dan Wesson 44 mag with a 6 inch barrel from http://www.gunbroker.com. I've wanted a 44 ever since I was in was in high school and I got to shoot my friends TC 44. I'm also an addict to accuracy and when I read about the reputation of Dan Wesson's, I decided on them rather than a Ruger or S&W.
I haven't recieved the gun yet so I can't post a picture, but it is blued, comes from Monson, and it was manufactured in 1985.
All my shooting now is strictly target. I live in the city so I don't have any place to go hunting anymore. Plus I don't like to shoot unless I know it will be a quick and painless kill, so that's another reason I don't hunt anymore. However, I have no problems shooting and wounding paper zombies out to the 100 yard range or beyond. Most of my battles with the evil undead are indoors at around 10-25 yards.
I'm also on the hunt for a 9.5 inch barrel even though I don't have the revolver yet. I know the life of a new addict is very sad.

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.

You are in the right place to feed the addiction. Surf and read until your Dan gets there.

Most of my "evil undead kills" are various cans, bottles, truck rims...etc, out on my "range" in the hills.

definitely helps delay cabin fever. You've had a rougher winter than us in the far north this year.

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone.
@ Ole Dog, I was thinking more along the lines of a 2' barrel if they make my wife can carry it in her purse and hide it from those pesky polar bears that are migrating south.
@ PSFMG2, thank goodness I'm not the only one in this neck of the woods. Any good ranges in your area that have longer than 100 yard lanes?
@ ChargerFan, I hope your evil undead kills in the form of bottles and cans are dead soldiers from when you weren't shooting. 
@ BobAk, I lived in Northern WI for a couple years and had a taste of what y'all go through up there in AK. I don't know how you do it. I would go broke and bonkers in the winter. LOL
@ IBruce, I'm eyeing a 10' ported barrel now, so hopefully the ride won't be too wild.
@ RSwem, Knowledge and surfing are why I came here.
Y'all take care and have fun!

EWK makes a great little 2.5 inch 44, accurate and a real 'blast' to shoot.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
