Greetings – I'm new to the forum (of course!) and new to the DW Collectors.   I have a .44 Rhino (blue), 445 SM (blue) and 357 SM (blue), so you can see I like the unique wheel guns.  On my wish list: 375 SM, 414 SM, all of the four in stainless, and a 460 Rowland.   I've yet to obtain a standard caliber DW though I will when the right one crosses my path.   

My more conventional handguns are mostly S&W and Ruger revolvers: 44 Mag (x2), 41 Mag, 45 Colt, 10mm/40S&W,  480 Ruger, 454 Casull and 460 S&W Mag.   Plus a Kimber 1911 and Berreta 380.  I've a few long guns as well.  

357 Maxi, 375 SM, 445 SM (blue & SS), 44Rhino & .357 Mags V15 & W12, .460 Rowland, pre-CZ Pointman 1911 .45acp, modern Guardians in 9mm & .45acp, Pointman 9mm and Razorback 10mm.   Always on the lookout for something new!

Mark-Welcome to DWF! You got here just in time, we're in our Anniversary Week, and there will be some pretty fun and interesting things happening here.

BTW- Blacktop nailed it, we love to see pictures!

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.

Hey, you're QUICK!

I have fired a 445 SM once, it was fun, but more "thump" than I like shooting. I have a 744 6VH that gets shot very little, but I can shoot full-house .357 magnum in 4" (or 2-1/2") all day long Screwy

The 445SM and 45Rhino do great with 44Mag, and the 357SM eat 357 Mag all day long!   The two 44s chamber 44 Spcl too, but because the ctg is so much shorter I don't shoot those for fear of eroding the mouth of the chamber.

Thanks!  I must admit that I like the thump part myself!   Unfortunately I don't know much about the history of my Rhino, having picked it up from someone in Idaho.

Of course you're correct!  My fat, old fingers don't type so well when it's cold in the house!!  I'm gonna edit my original post just so everyone doesn't so quickly learn what a clutz I am!

I was about to ask if you knew the history of your Rhino, but I see you answered it already.  Too bad, It would be nice to know who did the conversion.

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.
