Just registered tonight for this forum. I have owned a DW 357 Mag for two years now, and just picked up a DW 44 Mag last night. Both were bought used, both are 6" stainless models. When I see how to post pics I will, thanks!

Hi Clint and welcome to the Forum. Any questions? Ask away. There are a bunch of folks here with a ton of Dan knowledge.

By your description of your symptoms, I would diagnose a well developing case of dwas (Dan Wesson Acquisition Syndrome)

Picture posting is pretty simple. Take a look at this page.

We will most definitely want to see cool-pics

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

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

Welcome. I'd say that is a great start. Can you see a pistol pack in your future?

Maybe so :). I am already thinking about trying to pick up some different length barrels for what I have. Would yall go new or used? The shroud that came on my 44 is kinda marred up a little, how tough is it to just replace that part? Thanks!

You have a couple options.  

New DW shrouds are laser etched with caliber.  

If you want to match shrouds to your frame used is the only option.  You will need to wait for one to come up and they usually bring good money.

EWK arms also makes quality barrel assemblies.  I have few and I'm very happy with them.

Unless your shroud is severely damaged you should be able to cleans it up yourself.  Stainless steel is nicely brought back to life with scotchbrite and mothers mag wheel polish.

Welcome aboard. Sounds like you have a couple of sweet shooters. I was just in western OK this past week Tuesday and again Friday, Hooker, OK to be exact, passing through to and from New Mexico.

Figure out the picture posting yet, always nice to see more DW's.
