Honestly been a S&W guy all my life...... but came across a DW .375-V8S and remembered an interaction with the very same revolver when I was 18yrs old and dipping my toes in silhouette shooting. A family friend had one and invited me to try it (ammo obviously was not an issue in 86) well I shot so well with it the owner kept reloading it and stuffing it back in to my hand, I think I was shooting it better than him from memory at distance but he was my current age or thereabouts and I realize now things aren't as good as when your 18. That brief moment with that revolver did not dissuade me from getting what I really wanted, a S&W 8 inch classic 44 mag, so shiny! I was sure everyone would call me Dirty Badger, in reality at the 25 mtr booth range people called me obnoxious and moved away from my max loaded rounds. Anyway this item appears low use and comes with a stash of commercial ammo so I did the usual google search and read what I could find out, this forum has been excellent. So it grew on me to the point where I pulled the trigger and bought it. i will post pics once it's in my grubby hands.

Great to have you on the DWF!  I like to dabble with my .375 SM its a reliable revolver for certain.  Looking forward to the cool-pics

dwf-welcomedwfgoodluckproud-to-be-an-americanThe only draw back with the 375 supermag is they do not make ammo for it and reloading stuff is very hard to find. If yours came with all that stuff then your good to go but if not dyes are very hard to find. Also only two places to find bullets. Gun is for a re-loader only!Screenshot-2024-04-03-5.19.46-PM.png

The .375SM is one of my very favorite rounds to shoot, I have a couple guns chambered in that round. Make sure to show us some cool-pics when you get it home, we all love to see gun porn. big-grin
