Hey, I got my first revolver and joined to learn more about it. I have alot of gun types (AK's, AR's, Beretta 90 series, Springfield XD's, Glocks, and HK's) but the Dan Wesson 44 mag is my first revolver. I polished it and made grips for it (Tanned Python skin covering a rubber hogue modified to form better to my finger grip - feels like grabbing a live snake 
 ) before even getting it out on the range. (Its a habit...) so my biggest question is where can i find out how to take it apart so i can see the internals? (I like to clean and polish the action. I done this to all my guns before.)

Welcome to the DWF.
Those grips look cool.
There is a link to servicing your large frame DW but I can't remember what it is. Someone with a better memory will come along and post it for you.

He's looking for the large frame info. His gun is a 44.

Thanks, Mike. I now have them both bookmarked so I don't have to look so stupid next time.

They should be a 'sticky' at the top of the page.

Thanks guys! I'll post later. I have more questions. I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to many guns but revolvers are a new league for me.
Â
I do have one dumb question. Can someone tell me what Model of Dan Wesson revolver I have and also what's the shortest barrel I can get for it?
Â
I'm hoping to find a 2.5 inch because I already have 10 and 6 inched barrels.

You have a Model 744...and a sweet one at that!
The shortest barrel assembly available is easily found by clicking the "EWK" link in the right side bar of this page. ---->

From the factory, I think 4" was the shortest offered. Â EWK made some 2.5's, 3's and 4's but I think all are out of stock except some blue 2.5's, double check. Â Â Nice gun you grabbed. Â I have a EWK 2.5 for my 744 and it is a real handful to shoot with full house 44mag loads. Â Gets attention at the ranges I can tell you, throws a nice fireball.
Â
BTW the model of you gun is a 744 with Vent Heavy 6 and VH-8 barrel assemblies.

Welcome to the forum. That's a beauty. You are going to really enjoy shooting it. There's a very good tip in that link about reinstalling the trigger assembly.
Just one question...aren't you supposed to go from north to south in the winter???
