Good morning

I bought my first DW 15-2 in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1977.  Still have it and several other calibers.

I have been living in Arequipa, Peru since 1986 and have never seen or heard of a Dan Wesson revolver. We have two gun stores in this city (2 million +) and they owners have NEVER seen a DW except in my pictures. 

In your travels overseas have you seen or owned a DW ?     Proud To Be An American

We have members in Norway and Sweden that are Dan Wesson owners.   I have seen DWs listed on gun dealer web sites in Germany and the UK (the UK one being a "disabled" PPC model).  And I have read posts from someone in Pakistan who either owns a Dan Wesson or has seen one there.

I was in Paris this past September on vacation and stopped into a few gun shops.  Neither shop had any revolvers and all the semi auto pistols were of the plastic sort.

Welcome to DWF

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.

Picture is great. A very nice Model 40 with just a little "barney" in the frame, enough to give it real character.

WelcomeCool PicsThat's a nice model 40.  They're great shooters and are fun to shoot out to the 200meter area.
