Hi guys, First time writing here. I have a Stainless 8" Supermag with the skeletonized barrel shroud,(Shave weight off for competion). Its serial # is "IHMSA 04X". I contacted Dan Wesson about 13 years ago, and the rep said he'd give me 1,000 sight unseen. This gun is a Monson gun, and I'm looking for any info on it.

                                                                                     Thank You.

The IHMSA numbered guys were bought through IHMSA by members.  I believe the price was a good discount over regular gun shop prices. 

The 445 is a great gun. 

Do you shoot silhouette? 

I started last year and used a model 44 and a 740.  Both Monson guns.

Support your local IHMSA range.

Exactly.

Plus, the "04x" would have been that IHMSA member's membership number. So you may be able to track down that person eventually & learn the gun's history from the start.

IHMSA Members were given the opportunity to buy DW's serial numbered to their IHMSA Member number, and at a discount.

DW actually did a bit of custom Serial Numbering

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.
