Just a new member, have a few Dans. I live in the Florida Panhandle, not a lot of revolvers here. Target guns are my liking so Dans fit right in.

Welcome from Ocala, Fl. A few dans sounds suspicously like DWAS. You will fit right in.

Grips by LB Grips, carved, stippled, and finished by me. Millet rear sight EKG front, off hand two handed hold no rest @ 40 feet with the Dan, and 25 yards offhand two handed hold no rest with the Model 52, you know the other Wesson.

And the Auto shown is a ???

Clearly a Smith&Wesson?

I am a BIG S&W 39/59 fan, hugely under appreciated (and fortunately under priced).

Is that possibly a 52? 

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.

Smith & Wesson Model 52 with a custom made BME Weaver mount and an UltraDot Match Dot 2. Unfortunately not under priced, and if you think Dan Wesson parts are hard to find, parts for Model 52s, well get good at praying.

For those not familiar with the 52, it is a very special pistol

You will rarely see one of these, and they demand a dedicated reloader/shooter to keep it happy. The last time I saw one for sale it was close to 1K with original box and magazines.

NICE gun!

Steve

Mike- Sorry I did not read your post all the way thru to see that it was a 52, they are such a special pistol that I did not believe that I was seeing one here.

It's my favorite gun 3/4 lb trigger from the factory, I shot it with irons till about 15 years ago when my eyes went bad. Back in the day I could shoot single holes at 25 yards at least one out of four targets with a stock gun. The days of shooting like that are gone. The only bad thing about it is once you find a load, brand of bullet, primer, and most important the crimp you can't change anything or it won't group. It likes what it likes.

Hey Mike, Nice shooting.

Great job on the grip. I would love to hear how you did the stippling.
