Hello Gents,

 

A few weeks back I had the chance to buy a Dan Wesson 44MAG.  Unfortunately, all that was available were a couple fuzzy pictures and the sellers inability to read (couldn't tell me where the revolver was made, only Massachusetts).

 

Well I made him an offer of 650CDN and he accepted.  So all I had to do was wait . . . well it showed up today.  The pistol, two extra grips, an extra barrel (ported), a couple of sites, shim and from the looks of it a homemade barrel wrench (at least it does look stock).

 

From the looks of it, I got a good deal: the blueing is great, the lock-up is tight and oh yeah it's was made in Monson, Mass 😀 

 

And because this thread is about pics, here's a couple.

And Zebra grips too!  That just makes the deal sweeter.  Nice pics and congratulations.

I've got to hit the range soon but untill then I'll do some cleaning and "fondling" 😉

 

There was a fellow looking for a set of Zebra-grips locally and now I know why, very striking wood.  Perfect for grips.

Congrats on your DW score, it looks like a beauty!occasion

Maybe the two "M" names on the side just morphed into one word, in the seller's mind.rofl

I really like the model 44 you got there.  I have one also, but mine is a little beat up and no Zebra grip.  Very good score!Mini Gun

That looks gorgeous.  Sometimes you can take a risk and win.  You certainly did on that one.
