Picked up my 3rd DW yesterday, this one in .357 with a 4 inch barrel. Already have the 2 1/2 inch barrel kit coming in for it. This is a Monson made I found on Gunbroker. I've been slowly collecting grips from all over the web so I can transform them based on what I'm doing. I've already put these grips away and replaced them with Pachmayrs as I like to shoot with them vs wood.
If you folks haven't tried a DW yet - you should as they are in the same class as S&W and Colt at much less $$$...

I think I have an extra DW grip floating around. If you'd like it, I can hunt it down for you.
lemme know. __________________

I can always use an extra square tang grip as I'm always experimenting with them... | |

OK. I'll take a look.
If I find it, just send me a few bucks to cover shipping and I'll send it along. (I'm 80% sure I know right were it is though). __________________

Cool, thanks. It is square tang right? (The large frame used a round tang) | |

I'm 82% (plus or minus)sure it's square. I'll look when I get a chance this weekend. __________________

The first handgun I ever owned was a DW 357 model 12. Had to sell it and a couple of cars in exchange for 3 kids...a story for another time...
Back to the DWs. I've picked up 17 Dan Wessons (11 357s, 4 44 mags and 2 357 supermags) in the past year and a half, along with about 30 grips, grip screws, spring kits and a variety of barrels up to 10". These guns get a knock from a lot of "enthusiasts", but for the money, I think they are great guns; and I have spent into the thousands for a few of my handguns. Of course, they are "better", but no more fun to shoot.
I've "hotrodded" (Magna-ported barrels, action job, hotblued) a couple of the guns for which I have the four barrel sets. They look and shoot great. Keep the dream alive and continue to look for, buy, shoot and talk about your old Dan Wessons.
Good luck | |

1HD1,
Since you just joined, and have a low post count, I figured I'd ask if you're familiar with the way the bulletin board software works. - The reason I asked is that I send you a Private Message, and if this is new to you, it's easy to miss. __________________
