After 2 weeks of my now former FFL losing my supermag I bought recently when it arrived, they finally found it today.  I will never use them again, how in heck do you lose a gun when it arrives in a shipment?  Lousy pictures here as I just got home and took them quickly, but I am sure happy this Dan Wesson did not grow legs and dissappear forever.  Forgive the lousy pic, this gun is in 98% condition with only the faintest beginning of a turn line, of course, I will solve that little problem.  This has a far superior trigger compared to my monson 41 mag, it's like they are not even the same design it feels so much better.

better yet, it came with over 300 of these and a Redding custom 3 die set:

Normally this time of year I like it when it is cold, but now I'm wishing for an afternoon that will reach the upper 50's so I can do some shooting.

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

I have no idea, but I surely can't blame you for not wanting to use them ever again.Mad

I'm glad you were able to finally pick up your new DW, it looks great from here!Laugh  I must admit that my own .375 SM has the sweetest trigger pull out of all my DW's...

I did buy this from a GB gun seller, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it was maybe owned previously by an IHMSA member...judging from the excellent trigger feel.

Here's a belated Welcome to theDWF Sign

Charger fan, do you by any chance know where I can get a patridge front sight like the one on your 375?  I have never been a fan of colored inserts on a ramp front sight, at least not after I had my first handgun with a patridge front.

Karl H,

 

Nice Supermag to land.  I like the 375 myself.  You really got a find since it included all those OHMSA head stamped cases and a die set.  It was most assuredly an IHMSA steel shooters rig ast one time to have all those pieces put together.  I will be wairing for your range report on the new DW.  Oh and Welcome to the DWF Sign.  You picked a fine way to jump in.

You should be able to buy them from DW still, contact info is at the right of this screen in the "FAQ's" section.

We've also got one of our members here who is making a lot of neat DW stuff, who may have some available soon, too. Click the "EWK Arms" link at the right of this screen.Smile
