A buddy of mine gifted me a DW 45 long colt with a 10" barrel. He said if I get a 6" 44mag barrel I can shoot 44mag from it. Is that true?

If you could thread a .44 barrel to fit the 45 frame, you still have to contend with chamber dimensions. You would surely rupture the .44 case and may cause damage to the gun itself. I don't think you'd get a bullet to enter the throat correctly and the projectile would get shaved at least and may cause damage at worst. Bad idea all the way around without getting a .44 cylinder and timing it. Might as well just pick up a DW .44.... PS: I'd probably trade ya.... Oh!- and welcome to the DWF!

Welcome to the forum from PA!!
I would leave that one alone for sure and just get a 44Mag.

Keep the 45 Colt and buy a 44 mag.
Or sell the 45, lots of interest on this forum, myself included.

If a man designed it, and a man built it, then a man can fix it.

There is a 45VH 10 on GB now. Looks well used and has a trigger problem. The trigger can be fixed easily but the condition not so easily.

I saw that 45 on GB, but I think I’d like one in way better condition.

The one on GB looks like it was used as a fencing tool LOL. It would make a great donor gun for a cool refinish project though.
George860 - As the other before mentioned, you could probably sell the 45-Colt and yield enough to purchase two more common Dan's with.

Supermagfan read my mind. I put my hat in the ring on that beater. I've got a few ideas I'm kicking around.
