    Just installed my 8 inch Stainless Steel barrel on my new DW 715 tonight, I  L O V E  it !   Very Dirty Harry lookin (yes I know dirty harry had a 44mag)  Every since I let a S&W 686 combat special 8 3/8  barrel .357mag slip through my hands I've wanted an 8" barrel revolver. I was waiting and waiting AND waiting on my new GLOCK G40 10mm to come in and gave up.  If you can't produce it to sell it, don't advertise it !   Anyway I jumped ships and purchased the optional 8inch barrel before getting my new DW 715. Gutsy move, could not find one, almost got a DW Razorback RZ-10 instead. But I finally found a non-blem 715 for sale ................I've wanted a revolver like this for 20 years !   VERY happy with my purchase. LongShort.JPGImage Enlarger

I predict your Glocks will be spending some alone time in the safe while you and DAN are out having fun! range-time

To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:

if you find one...what's your plan?

I was thinking the exact same thing. 

 

Enjoy that nice looking 715!  Should I tell you how much I like the 10" barrel?  lol.

Nice choice of companions.  Almost every time I go to the range with my Dan's, a Glock goes along as well.  The recent favorite is the model 42, it holds a far better group than my model 23.

 

BTW, the 10" barrels on the DW's are really a treat wink

Great to hear from a satisfied "new" 715 owner!

No secret that I am not a fan of how CZ handles the marketing and development of the DW revolver brand, but it is good to know that the quality is still there.

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.

Well I hate Glocks. They just absolutely do not fit my hand. But I do have the Razorback in 10mm. Got my 15-2 pistol pack with a few extra goodies, including TWO 8" barrels. One with integral scope mount, one without.

I know lots of folks on here want to know about how that brand new 715 fires.  And how maintenance goes on that new CZ DW production model.

Please keep us up to date.

I have sold several Smiths to fund DW purchases.  I held a Glock in 10MM a few years back and it felt like I was holding 2"x4" lumber in my hand, I really wanted a 10MM at the time and just could not get comfortable with the Glock.  I will eventually get either a Razor Back or a Silver Back in 10MM or some older model 10MM DW, but being that they still make them I am in no hurry.  I still have a 445 to add to the family, let one slip through my hands during hunting season.

So how do you like the 10MM Razor Back?  Did you look at the Silver Back?     

“We cannot but pity the boy who has never fired a gun; he is no more
humane, while his education has been sadly neglected.”

-Henry David Thoreau

“When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether
they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes – remembering that it was
one of the best parts of my education – *make* them hunters.”

-Henry David Thoreau
